Who doesn't enjoy a good tour rider? We all know about Van Halen's tour rider that insisted that brown M&Ms be removed from their candy jar.
Well, a British publication got a hold of the tour rider for hip-hop star Nicki Minaj and it's pretty elaborate. Nicki Minaj spoke with Wonderland magazine about her tour rider. It turns out that she has more than a few specific food requests: Red Bull, Snapple, and and Halls cough drops.

Not weird at all. Touring is harder than artists like Nicki Minaj make it look (I speak from experience), and you do whatever you can to stay in the zone: the audience doesn't give a shit how good last night's show was, or how good tomorrow's is going to be. They only care about tonight's show, so you have opening-night pressure, every night.
This means elements of familiarity: favorite foods and drink, or just those that you associate with your best rehearsal days. This sort of thing makes a tremendous difference.
