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)

T.I.\r - "Closet full of brand new clothes and handbags. Alexander McQueen, Prada, Gucci, Chanel, D&G, BCBG, Versace, Louie and Bebe." \r\rIs this a snap shot of Tiny’s closet? T.I.’s definitely been keeping tabs on tags. Or maybe it’s inspiration for his Akoo line?\r\r(Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Rick Ross\r - "Baby I could take you there, call Marc Jacobs personally to make a pair."\r\rWe’re not sure if Rozay actually knows Marc Jacobs personally but we hope he can at least call sunglass brand Cazal at any time for shades since he’s now got their brand logo tatted on his face.  Ross has said he plans to dabble in the fashion industry at some point, but for now he’s representing his buddy Diddy’s brand Sean John as a face of the label. \r\r(Photo: Michael Underwood/PictureGroup)
