I don't know much about him but isn't he super successful with his businesses? Looking from the sides it doesn't seem like he's culturally irrelevant either but maybe I'm too old to realize that.

When was the last time you heard a new Kanye West track on the radio? Or saw someone famous wearing his clothes?

His sneakers are worn by many famous people.

But I agree the last couple of records weren't exactly radio friendly!

I haven’t listened to radio for more than 2 decades. Is being played on the radio still a sign of being current and popular?

So was Howard Hughes, but it's usually his declining mental health that gets attention because no one helped him.
