| Jay-Z made an estimated $US63 million ($71.175 million) last year. Diddy made $US30 million. But when it comes to cars, the coolest thing for the top hip-hop stars is to hide it - sort of.
"Right now the major thing that has been going on in the market is all the matte paint jobs," says George Keshishyan, who owns Platinum Motorsport, an LA auto shop that customises rides for hip-hop stars, along with his brother, Jake. "Just last week we got a brand-new Rolls Royce Ghost - it had 100 miles on it. It came in on a flatbed truck straight from the dealership. We changed it all to a matte black."
Platinum Motorsport has stripped and then modified six-figure stunners for the likes of Lil' Wayne, Drake and T-Pain.
