Kanye West to perform on 'Saturday Night Live' next month

Having been cooped up in Paris for the past few months rumoured to be writing and recording his new album, Kanye West is now expected to make a public appearance on U.S TV staple Saturday Night Live next month.

According to New York Post’s Page Six, West will appear as a musical guest on the 18 May dated episode of the weekly show. He last appeared on the show back in 2010.

The article reads:

“Kanye West is due back in the States next month, Page Six has exclusively learned, but it’s not necessarily to rush to the side of his very pregnant reality star girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. Sources tell us the rapper — who’s been working on a new album in France — will appear as musical guest on “SNL” on May 18. West’s been holed up in a palatial pad ever since Paris fashion week in February, leaving his baby mama alone to brave pregnancy and public scrutiny over her weight, maternity fashions and upcoming divorce trial with Kris Humphries. Sources tell us the rapper’s even pondering a permanent move to Paris. An NBC rep would only say the show hasn’t announced its lineup.”

Meanwhile, Kanye is widely expected to announce a new album and/or single shortly, perhaps called ‘I Am A God’.
