By now, everyone knows Kanye’s fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasty is in stores today. Chicago’s own is also making news today for something non-music related. The G.O.O.D. rapper is getting diving into the fast-food industry with his recent purchase of franchise rights in 10 Fatburger restaurants through his holding company, KW Foods LLC.

“It’s safe to say that we’ll be doing more strategic partnerships in areas like fashion and design,” Gee Roberson told The Daily Beast. “Music is the foundation for everything Kanye does, but he doesn’t want to be defined only as a musician. He’s really a designer. He designs his sounds, his raps, all aspects of his tour. He wants to do deals where he can have his fingerprints on the product.”

Kanye West, who already operates two of the restaurants in Orland Park and Beverly, joins a growing number of rappers who have invested money into the Fatburger franchise.
