Kanye West refused to step foot in dressing room until it was decorated in all white

It's all white being Kanye West - or at least, it should be.

The ranty rapper , 37, insisted his dressing room backstage at Wireless be whiter than white, with white furnishings, accessories and only white fabrics.

So IMAGINE the trauma caused when some lowly runner splashed black linen around the place?

I’m told: “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 step 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.”

Phew. Imagine the panic if Kim Kardashian had been with him, too.

It’s not the first time Kanye has requested a white dressing room.

Last year, he even requested that the (white) carpet in one of his 15 dressing rooms backstage at the BBC was ironed before his arrival.

A source close to the star says it’s a standard part of his rider.

“His tour management requested the switch from the black linen, because it’s their job to make the artist comfortable before he goes on stage,” my source adds.

“And Kanye is most comfortable when he’s surrounded by white.

“It’s just about having a serene place to relax before a big performance.”
