Rapper Riky Rick is no closet fashionista

Local rapper Riky Rick recently attended Paris Men's Fashion Week, where he was photographed on the streets of the City of Light wearing head-to-toe Gucci. The photo was later posted on the New York Times' fashion Instagram page.

Rick is a self-proclaimed King Kotini. Meaning king of cotton, it's a term he coined to describe someone who is well dressed.

"I'm aware that I'm being watched internationally and continentally because of my style, and fashion is something I've always been interested in," he says.

"I pay attention to small details like the shape of collar and length of pants. I also keep up to date with international fashion trends. I'm not a typical rapper wearing only sneakers."

Everything he wears he has bought himself. "I'm unapologetic about my style and I have an interest in fashion even if it's expensive".
