JACK White just wants to move on.

The American rocker made headlines earlier this month when the University of Oklahoma's student newspaper published his tour rider and contract before his concert at the uni.

While riders are known for containing odd demands, White's was lambasted for banning bananas and providing a very specific recipe for guacamole.

(FYI: The recipe stipulates "8 large Haas avocados" should be "diced with a butter knife, 3-4 slits down, 3 or 4 across" and not too mushy.)

During the concert, the former White Stripes musician publicly called out the paper, The Oklahoma University Daily, for the leak and for publishing his appearance fee ($US80,000 plus 90 per cent of all tickets sales.)

Guacgate may be long over, but various media outlets have apparently continued writing about it — and White is not impressed.

The singer/songwriter penned a whiny open letter, posted to his label's website, condemning up-and-coming journalists.

Titled For God Sakes! the post clarifies that the guacamole recipe was an inside joke, the banana ban was due to crew allergies and that White doesn't "ask for anything".

"I know it's a fun thing for people to try to turn me into a jerk and a diva, but in this case it's pretty ridiculous and has almost nothing to do with me. my relationship with the fans at that show and how we got to a new place together through music remains intact and i'd love to do it again with them (sic)," White wrote.

"I think that's everything, can i go back to making music now? no? ok. crochet it is."
