Kanye West spends $700 a day on haircuts, according to Rihanna’s dad

KANYE West spends $ 700 a time on a daily haircut, according to Rihanna’s father.

The hip-hop star sports a completely shaved style, but apparently it’s harder to maintain than it looks.

Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty has seen first-hand how much care goes into Kanye’s look, as he joined the two stars when they played shows together in 2010.

“It’s crazy — Kanye gets a haircut every day,” Ronald laughed to Britain’s Heat magazine. “He pays his barber $US500 a time. I don’t understand how that much hair gets taken off. Kanye just loves the fresh look.” The rapper doesn’t let just anyone come at him with the clippers though — in fact, there is only one guy he trusts enough to tend to his tresses.

Ibn Jasper has been styling the star’s hair for over 20 years, with the pair meeting when Kanye still lived in Chicago, Illinois. Even now he still turns to Ibn for help, with the barber believing it’s because of the “orange hat period” Kanye went through when he was first based in New York City in 2003.

“Whenever he was (pictured) wearing that orange hat, it meant he’d gotten a f**ked up cut in NYC,” Ibn laughed. “He asked me to move to NYC and I told him, ‘When you can pay me what I make in the shop, then I’ll move.’” Shelling out $500 a day on a grooming session adds up to $255,799 spent annually.
