After Jack White’s detailed rider was leaked by the University of Oklahoma’s student newspaper, his management team has responded. White, himself, even chastized the media for it on Sunday.
In a statement on his website, White wrote a detailed guacamole recipe and other demands were an “inside joke” with his managers and local promoters.
"First off, this is none of your business, but I have no specific demands in my dressing room,” he wrote. “I know I could ask for lots of things but I actually don't ask for ANYTHING," White wrote. "I take with me what I need, and that ain't much."
On Monday, his management wrote in a statement to Pitchfork that White does not write his riders and they’re not just for him anyway – they’re for the entire crew who works on the tour.
“Jack hires a team of very qualified touring professionals who write the rider and attempt to execute a professional and pleasant experience for all involved,” the statement reads.
“Part of that is making sure that the tour personnel of about 30 people plus the local venue staff are fed. Contrary to what some believe, Jack doesn't write the rider nor make demands about his favorite snacks that must be in his dressing room. We're not even sure he likes guacamole but we do know that the folks who work hard to put on the show do enjoy it.”
They also called the newspaper "unprofessional" for publishing it, along with financial information.
