Leave it to Kanye West to leave us scratching our heads. Cover art for the rapper's latest single was designed by Givenchy's creative director, Riccardo Tisci. The design naturally features lots of gold bling, crowns, stars, daggers and more. The song, H.A.M., features Jay-Z and hits stores today. We're not really sure why Kanye turned to Tisci in the first place, but maybe he was striving for one of the best cover designs OF ALL TIME. [InStyle]
