We all know the stuff. Usually from our school days. It was more tracing paper than toilet paper, which was always handy when it came to art class... Those not frequenting schools may have the misfortune of stumbling across the tracing paper toilet roll in various public loos, and on board trains. It's refreshing to hear they also reportedly supply it in the first class confines on board the Eurostar.
Last week, the 36-year-old rapper found himself on board the Paris to London train, thanks to his three headline gigs at Wireless festival, and he was less than impressed with the loo roll provided. Thankfully, he had his quick thinking entourage with him so his posterior didn't get torn off him.
A source told The Sun: "Kanye is very particular about his toilet paper. He couldn't believe that in a first class carriage, they had scratchy loo roll. He didn't make a fuss to Eurostar staff, but he was heard moaning to his inner circle. He didn't like the texture and requested a softer tissue. His staff gathered up the napkins to use as an alternative."
It seems the Blood on the Leaves rapper endured a arduous trip from Paris to London as his Eurostar train was delayed by four hours following a technical fault.
The usually hotheaded 'genius' appeared in good spirits despite the setback and happily posed for pictures with fellow travellers.
Once in London, however, he reportedly had a meltdown backstage because of the colour of the linen in his dressing room.
A source previously claimed: "Kanye will only ever have a white dressing room, and this is usually included in his rider. But for some reason, there was black linen in his dressing room on the Finsbury Park site. This could not be allowed to happen. Organisers were told to get rid and replace it with the white stuff or Kanye wouldn't set a foot in there. Over the next few hours, festival staff were dispersed all over town to buy new crisp, white linen to replace it all. It was chaotic, but nobody wanted to upset Kanye. Especially as he'd stepped in to replace Drake at the last minute. There was pure panic for a while, but luckily, some were sourced just in time."
This is unsurprising news considering Kanye has been known to request that carpets be "ironed" before his arrival. He's not one to roll with it. Apologies.
