Soulja Boy - “Louis Louis, all she keeps saying is Louis Louis..." No Soulja, that’s all you keep saying! The rapper named his latest mixtape “Bernard Arnault Limited Edition EP” after the Louis Vuitton and Moët & Chandon CEO and drops the name of the brand 63 times throughout the album (WWD actually counted!).

Kanye West - “I mean, my whole team 'bout to smash the streets. The Phillip Lim remind them that it's Fashion Week." In his early days he dubbed himself the “Louis Vuitton Don” but over the years he’s expanded his fashion palate and raps about a wide variety of brands he loves. This September he’ll put his fashion knowledge to the test when he presents a collection at New York Fashion Week. (Photo: Will Ragozzino/Getty Images)

Jay-Z - “I am so dope! Like Louboutin's with the red bottoms." We’d love to go somewhere private where we can discuss fashion with Jay! We wouldn’t be surprised if Beyoncé lets him chime in on her outfits. He knows what ladies love inside and out from Prada blouses to La Perla on the cheeks.

Fabolous - “Gucci down to her feet, yup just like me.”The man who feels the ladies' after-the-club pain and introduced the word “shoe-icide” into our vocab (in "You Be Killin Em") knows a good pair of kicks when he sees one.(Photo: Fernando Leon/PictureGroup)
