Rapper Kanye West no longer uses the word 'bling' - because it's now considered "white people's slang". The Gold Digger star is famed for his love of expensive gold plated and diamond-encrusted jewellery, but refrains from describing it as 'bling' because it is out of fashion.

He tells U.S. magazine Complex, "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."
