Earlier this year Kanye West made the news after he shut down his Fat Burger franchises in Chicago [click here if you missed that]. Turns out Yeezy had eight more Fat Burgers spread out across the country and he's shutting those down too...

While Kanye West has doubled down on the fashion trade, the rapper has exited the burger biz. West struck a deal in 2007 with Fatburger to open 10 burger joints, and launched two in the Chicago area in 2009. But the deal has been dissolved, and in January, Fatburger shuttered one location and bought back the other, a rep for the chain confirmed. Fatburger still has branches owned by Queen Latifah in Miami and super-producer Pharrell in Macau. West attended the CFDAs here this week and is reportedly designing his own clothing line in London.
