Kanye toasts platinum with gold

 

Golden smile ... Kanye West

 

UNDERSTATED is a word that simply doesn't feature in KANYE WEST's vocabulary.

The rapper's latest extravagance, on top of his leather trousers, fur pillows and huge collection of designer goods, is an 18-carat gold watch, encrusted with diamonds which features his own FACE.
Now, we all know the MC was a huge ego on him, but a timepiece with an image of your own mug on it is taking things a bit far.
His ostentatious new toy cost a cool £135,000, took five months to create and was made specially by watchmakers Tiret.

It's a good time for the rapper right now. His album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has gone platinum in America.
Meanwhile his forthcoming collection with rap mogul JAY-Z has a serious amount of hype surrounding it.
