Kanye West only eats from designer crockery

Rapper-turned-designer Kanye West only uses designer crockery like Hermes plates and gold cutlery.

The 34-year-old rapper, who is dating Kim Kardashian, is a fan of tableware from the Hermes brand and refuses to consume food from much cheaper dining pieces, reported Sun online. Apparently his favourite plates cost around 700 pounds each and he also has gold cutlery worth worth £4500.

"Kanye is very particular about his plates and cutlery. Everything is the best quality," a source said.

West can certainly afford to live lavishly. His Watch The Throne tour with Jay-Z has made 30 million pounds despite not yet being completed.
