Kanye West rolls up to AIDS benefit in Mercedes-McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

While we didn’t exactly expect rapper Kanye West to show up to an AIDS charity gala in Cannes, France in something modest like an A-Class, we admit we didn’t see a Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss coming. After all, while we’re all for driving the limited-edition Mac over all of creation if you’re of the means to own one, but somehow, showing up to a charity event in a million-dollar bit of rolling exhibitionism seems a wee bit cheesy. Especially when it’s probably someone else’s car.

While we didn’t exactly expect rapper Kanye West to show up to an AIDS charity gala in Cannes, France in something modest like an A-Class, we admit we didn’t see a Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss coming. After all, while we’re all for driving the limited-edition Mac over all of creation if you’re of the means to own one, but somehow, showing up to a charity event in a million-dollar bit of rolling exhibitionism seems a wee bit cheesy. Especially when it’s probably someone else’s car.

Still, the Mercedes-Benz looks fantastic in the wild, even at a blistering 5 mph. For more photos of Kanye trying to see over the SLR’s steering wheel, head over to Socialite Life.
