Kanye West claims only white people use the word "bling".
The 'Gold Digger' rapper insists the slang term is now passé and using it makes people look old fashioned.
Kanye told Complex magazine: "Only white people and older black people say 'bling' now. If a white person uses slang too early, then that makes them look like a wigger. But if black people use slang too late, then it makes them look like a wigger."
Kanye celebrated his 30th birthday at a New York nightclub in June, where he was presented with a huge cake incorrectly emblazoned with the name "Kayne".
Other guests who helped celebrate the hip-hop star's landmark birthday included Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend Pete Wentz.
As the celebrations began, Kanye said: "I'm in my 20s as we speak right now, but at midnight, I'll be 30. I'm already 30 in Japan and London and everywhere else."

whats so very funny about this guy is he makes his home in a genre of music where he is now considered passe and old fashioned by the roman candle effect 'stardom' has in rap and hip hop.
Here today, gone tomorrow, and certainly no longevity like a bling-y diamond.
'There'll always be haters, that's the way it is...marry hater b*tches and have hater kids.'
Words from Kanye himself to sum up anyone who posts here to slag off Kanye. He's taking rap to new heights and speaking the truth. 'Bling' should only be used for the purpose of satire.
Quoting Kanye as if it has meaning is like waxing praise on the culinary feats of Burger King!
