Kanye West pays someone to clean his shoes. The "Stronger" singer boasts he is so rich he hires someone to "take care" of his shoes - all 450 pairs of them.
He said: "I hire someone specially to take care of my shoes. They clean them, box them and take a picture of them so it's easier to find them."
Kanye recently announced he had changed his name after launching a new range of footwear for Louis Vuitton, which was unveiled during Paris Fashion Week last week.
In a video message on his blog, the rapper said: "Due to what has happened - what has happened so severely when the red shoes hit the runway, I was forced to change my name to Martin Louis the King Jr. Address me as such."...

From his hotel room in France, Kanye West posts a video message, announcing a new rap alias. The rapper says he comes to such idea after the new footwear, he designed for Louis Vuitton, was launched.
"Oh, hey world. As you can see, I'm in Paris, chilling -- due to the transactions early this week, I have some very, uh, grim news," Kanye says. "I know I've been called the Louis Vuitton Don, I know, I've been called a lot of names."
"Mostly The Don, the Louis Vuitton Don," Kanye explains further. "-- due to what happened -- when the red shoes hit the runway, I was forced to change my name, to, Martin Louis The King, Jr. Address me as such. And until then, I will be in the building, swagger on a hundred thousand trillion."
