Renowned rapper Kanye West, well known for his strong, blunt opinions and trend setting style as well as his unique music, has brought yet another shocker into the game. Known to promote anything from cars to fundraisers, his latest and greatest has got to be his support for Fendi. Using his head as a billboard, the Italian company paid West 10K to etch the designers logo into his haircut. Whether or not you see him as a sell out or a truly inspirational unique individual is up to you. But I can guarantee you that Fendi's sales will more than likely see an increase because of the massive influence West has over today's society, young and old.
