GRAMMY-Award winning rapper Lil Wayne is bringing a 50-member entourage to South Africa in December.
And, to make sure his crew travel in style, the artist has asked organisers to provide five top-of-the-range SUVs and a luxury bus.
But the 29-year-old musician, who is on three years' probation for drug possession, will apparently be booze-free while in the country.
That is because his probation conditions prohibit the Lollipop singer from consuming alcohol, or knowingly associating with people engaged in criminal activities or taking narcotics.
Concert organiser Glen Netshipise said Lil Wayne's demands were generally in line with the requests of other international stars.
"There's nothing out of the ordinary. The main thing is always about making them comfortable," Netshipise said.
Before his arrest, Lil Wayne demanded that bottles of expensive Perrier-Jouët champagne, Hennessy XO Cognac and two bottles of Patron Platinum tequila be available to him in his hotel suite when he was on tour.
According to his 2008/2009 "backstage rider" - the list of demands made to concert organisers - Lil Wayne had to be housed in the presidential suites of five-star hotels.
