Kanye West has been one of the more famous “SNL” guests of the last five years. Dating back to an October, 2005 appearance, ‘Ye has has been the musical guest four times, in promotion of each of his last four solo albums. After West was parodied by cast-member and impressionist Jay Pharaoh, the rapper famously criticized the show in 2010 single, “Power,” saying, “Fuck ‘SNL’ and they whole cast / Tell ’em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass.”
Appearing on the show months after, West altered the lyrics during his rendition of the song.
The New York Post’s “Page Six” reported today that Kanye West will return to the show formerly known as “Saturday Night Live” for a sixth appearance on May 18. West or his Def Jam Records label have yet to confirm these reports. An NBC rep also told The Post that the show has yet to announce its lineup.
Kanye West is currently in Paris, France recording what is believed to be his sixth solo album.
(April 18)
UPDATE: According to the Huffington Post, Kanye West will indeed perform on “SNL” on May 18. NBC announced the musical guest appearance today. Kanye will be joined by host, actor/director Ben Affleck.
Title says fifth time, last paragraph says sixth appearance -_-
Unless he did a skit before.
He did do a skit, but he performed that night also.

Fresh, kill yourself for the bullshit you said. Kanye is one of the greatest rappers of this generation and has been famous since 2004. He’s a better rapper than 2Chainz and Waka Flocka, who both suck and can’t rap for shit.
you need to get off my scott disick
Kanye hasn’t done anything good in about 4 years… maybe longer
You’re a fucking moron. “Kanye hasn’t done anything good in 4 years” my ass.
THE FUCK?!! KAYNE WEST IS CLEARLY WACK AND HAS FALLEN OFF HARD SINCE 2005!! APPARENTLY, SNL WAS TOO CHEAP TO PAY WAYNE SO THAT HAD TO GO WITH HIM INSTEAD!! FUCK SNL!!
You’re a fucking idiot. Everything you say is bullshit. Kanye is a superstar who never fell off, but got bigger and better. He’s one of the best rappers of this generation, better than wack ass Wayne. Kanye continues releasing classics while Wayne is falling off. Wayne can’t afford to be on SNL.
WEST AINT NO BLOOD!! HE AINT NO GANGSTA UNLIKE WAYNE!! WAYNE IS TRUE TO HIMSELF WHILE WEST IS LIVING A LITE!!
Wayne sucks ass, Kanye fell a little, but he still good.
WAYNE SOARED!! IM TIRED OF HAVING TO EXPLAIN THAT!! KAYNE WEST FELL OFF HARD AND SO DID JAY Z!!
EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS BULLSHIT LIES, YESSIR. WAYNE IS WACK, HE’S A POSER WHO’S LIVING A LIE, HE’S NOT A BLOOD, HE FELL OFF SINCE 2008. KANYE STAYS TRUE TO HIMSELF AND HAS ROSE TO GREAT HEIGHTS AND NEVER FELL OFF, SO DID JAY-Z.
Wayne’s not a gangster; he never lived the gangster life.
kanye sucks now… dude fell off
he’s a gay fish
I suck cock for money. Hit me up sometime.
GOOD music is falling apart. Kanye is moving to Paris cause the USA is too hot for him. Big Sean, thier most marketable artist, rolls with Wayne and Birdman. Common and Kudi are off the label. Pusha T can’t get a buzz or a release date. John Legend can’t get a beat from Kanye. Q-Tip doesn’t move units.
Honestly, I don’t think GOOD Music is doing big deals with most of their artists, it’s mostly joint ventures. Cudi had a small deal he’s mainly with Republic Records, John Legend is mainly with Columbia and Common is with Geffen.
dentaldamboy, everything you say is bullshit lies.
