Kanye West has turned into one of the biggest international superstar hip-hop artists in the world and in a very short amount of time. He's single-handedly changed the face the music and continues to grow as a musician as well as a fashion designer as he's released several original collections under his YEEZY imprint, not to mention the success he's had in the sneaker industry with both Nike and adidas.
Sadly, Kanye was almost a goner when he fell asleep at the wheel after leaving the studio in 2002. West was forced to have his jaw wired shut and a plate inserted into his face in order to reform his facial structure. In his first single, 'Through The Wire', Kanye rapped about the accident and stated the following, "Well, the only thing this accident is saying is, 'I am about to hand you the world, just know at any given time I can take it away from you.' To nearly lose your life, to nearly lose your mouth, your voice, your whole face, as a rapper... and I had to be on TV! My face looks crazy to me now... But I have to just thank God for the situation that I am in..."
