Even though the Superbowl was a complete wash, there were still some highlights that kept the game somewhat enjoyable. One of them was when “Broadway” Joe Namath styled on us all when he arrived in his now infamous fur coat.
Constructed from a blend of coyote and fox fur, the coat has taken a life of its own with a twitter account devoted to it. With additional nods of approval from Diddy and other noted tastemakers it seems famed Jets quarterback has brought furs back in the game.
Even though Hip-Hop has always shown an affinity to furs, some of your favorite rappers have missed the mark when donning these extravagant garments.
So we look back at the top 12 most outrageous furs worn by rappers. Let us know who is the worst style offender in the comments section below.

French Montana
Frenchie went straight morbid when he showed up to an XXL photo shoot in this bear head fur vest.
Big Boi
In 2005 Big Boi seemed rather small with this gigantic fur coat that seemed to swallowed him whole.
Wiz Khalifa
Wiz had all types of wrong going on in this album cover for O.N.I.F.C.
Nicki Minaj
Either Nicki was paying homage to Cam’ron or she was trolling us.
Ghostface Killah
All due respect to Tone, but this yellow furry creature he wore as a hat didn’t convey any urgency of escaping the police when he wore it in his video for “Run”.
Busta Rhymes
Busta Rhymes’ mink sable coat gave us feelings of The Flintstones.
50 Cent
Wearing a fur with no shirt on Fif?
Rick Ross
The Bawse suffered much Big Bird slander after he posed with this bright yellow ensemble.

These furs and the entire video for “Gravel Pit” are rarely discussed by Wu fans.
Kanye West
Yeezy has rocked a number of questionable furs over the years but this one was from Paris Fashion Week in 2013.
