Kubota UK has issued a 1st April press release suggesting that the American pop singer has splashed out on a special edition gold KX71-3 mini excavator.
The machine was produced to mark the sale of the company鈥檚 50,000th mini-excavator in the UK. Kubota says it is 鈥渢he world鈥檚 most expensive gold digger鈥.
While not directly saying that Mr West has bought the machine, Kubota said that it is 鈥渞umoured to have been purchased by an acclaimed American music artist鈥, adding that the Gold Digger was being prepared at Oxford airport 鈥渢o Touch the Sky for its Homecoming to Los Angeles鈥.
On balance, therefore, we reckon it is indeed April First. After all, everyone knows Kanye鈥檚 a Cat, man.
