Rap star paves the way for Fatburger in Chicago and LA

Kanye West's company has reportedly bought the rights to open a fast-food chain in the rap star's hometown of Chicago.

KW Foods LLC is set to open 10 Fatburger locations throughout the Chicago area, as well as another one in Los Angeles.

Chicago's first Fatburger restaurant is scheduled to open in September in Orland Park, reports Chicago Business.

The second location will open in January in LA's Western Avenue and Beverly Boulevard neighbourhood.

Meanwhile, West is set to produce Jay-Z's forthcoming album, 'Blueprint 3', as previously reported.

Kanye West is an overrated, arrogant, ignorant, talentless idiot who, quite frankly, should be flipping burgers for a living anyway...
