According to several media reports, Kanye West has signed on with Fatburger to open up to 10 locations in the Chicago area through his holding company, KW Foods LLC.
If the story is true (an inquiry to Fatburger has been made), West will join the likes of hip hop and rap stars Pharrell Williams and Queen Latifah, who have both invested in the Fatburger franchise.
Latifah's locations are in the California communities of Los Angeles and Coral Gables.
Other Fatburger franchisees and investors include talk show host Montel Williams and Magic Johnson, respectively.
