Kanye’s Restaurant Empire

In a move that is so unlike Kanye West, the rapper is reportedly going to add a line of Fatburger restaurants to his growing empire. According to MTV, the stylish artist is going to be opening 10 branches in his hometown of Chicago. Maybe there’s a lot of money to be made in the burger business. Or maybe it’s just one of his lame attempts at trying to keep it real. Why did he have to choose Fatburger though? In N Out is a far more superior chain. I would even accept it more if it was White Castle instead.

Lil Wayne’s Unpaid Bling

Lil Wayne is turning out to be a cheapskate. Last week, the rapper was ordered by a Miami judge to pay New Orleans jeweller Jack Sutton $146,000. Lil Wayne reportedly purchased a $138,000 diamond ring and $32,000 gold and diamond necklace from the jeweller back in October 2006. The deal was done by phone with the rapper promising to make monthly payments. Lil Wayne sent one $24,000 installment which prompted Sutton to send him the jewellery but then the rapper stopped paying. A source says that Lil Wayne may return the $138,000 ring rather than pay the cash. If you don’t have the cash, don’t buy the bling.
