Controversial rapper Kanye West is taking on a new project by sponsoring a car in the BMW World Finals.

The event helps support the Kanye West Foundation and United Nations World Food Program charities.

In a statment made to AllHipHop.com, West says, “The ability to make a positive difference in the world has always been a dream of mine, and Kanye West Foundation is the realisation of that dream.

“To be able to spread the word about both the Kanye West Foundation and the UN World Food Program in such an exciting setting is particularly gratifying.”

Ottawa native Philip Major, 17, will race in the BMW World Finals, which takes place between November 24-28 in Valencia Spain.
