Kanye West spent £8,000 on a private jet to travel 84 miles in the UK.

The 'Flashing Lights' hitmaker jumped on the plane to go from Doncaster to Birmingham, where he took a ride in a Mercedes after he touched down at Birmingham Airport and then travelled to the Hyatt hotel and stayed in the £1,100-a-night Presidential Suite.

A source said: ''He wasn't too enamoured with Doncaster and wanted to get out of the town and into Birmingham as quickly as possible - this meant by jet.''

What's more, Kanye requested two dozen white roses for his girlfriend Kim Kardashian to enjoy in the suite, but they had to be cut one inch above the top of the vase due to his ''deep hatred of dying flowers drooping'', and he also wanted 50 white chocolate bars for the pair to indulge in.

The insider added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''He ordered white roses for Kim but is very particular about how his flowers are displayed. He wanted them fresh and without droop.

''That evening he purchased two bottles of tequila, two Disaronno and two bottles of vodka. He was very generous though and was dishing out to all his entourage.''
