Is it any weirder than Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress?
Would you show up to a gig in the most hardcore onesie?
Hip-hop fashion just got serious.

Rappers like dressing up!
It’s part of the scene.
It’s what you expect from the bling.
What do you think about Mutant’s appearance wearing a onesie? Would this have turned eyes on the red carpet – or what?
