US rap legend Kanye West splashed out on a £8,000 journey from Doncaster to Birmingham during the UK leg of his Watch The Throne tour.

The rapper travelled the 100 miles in both a private jet and an S-Class Mercedes. After flying from Doncaster to Birmingham he was then whisked to a £1100-a-night room at the five-star Hyatt Hotel - before spending another £5,500 over the next 13 hours.

"He wasn’t too enamoured with Doncaster and wanted to get out of the town and into Birmingham as quickly as possible – and this meant by jet," says a source to The Daily Record.

Once in the hotel, he order two dozen white roses - and specificed they but cut one inch above the vase as he hates to see droopy flowers. He also reportedly requested 50 bars of white chocolate for himself and girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

"Kanye has a lot of money and isn’t afraid to spend it," the source added. "That evening he purchased two bottles of tequlia, two Disaronno and two bottles of vodka.

"He was very generous though, and was dishing it out to all his entourage."
