A couple of months ago, the rapper was officially declared a billionaire. This was made possible by the basketball shoes bearing his name that he developed with Adidas.

Popular business magazine Forbes made the revelation on Friday, April 24, and said the 42-year-old rapper was now worth $1.3 billion (KSh 138.4 billion).
