Kanye West worried about Kim Kardashian jokes on SNL appearance
Rapper fed up with weight gain comments
- He's launching a line of shoes with his gilrfriend. Kanye obviously thought the best way of ensuring his girlfriend would 'evolve into a fashion icon', would be to design her shoes for her. Yes they're hideous, but they're worth loads of money, and that's all that matters.
Kanye West is set to appear as the musical guest for the season finale of Saturday Night Live, but apparently is worried that the comedy sketch show will make fun of his pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
The comedy show has a history of poking fun of the Kardashian family, and Kim’s somewhat used to it by now, but her boyfriend isn’t.
According to RadarOnline.com the show’s writers are keen to work in a sketch about Kim to coincide with Kanye’s appearance.
“Kanye as a musical guest is a great get for SNL,” and NBC insider tells the website.
“But of course the writers want to push the envelope and take advantage of it with a Kim Kardashian sketch.
“That’s not unusual since her famous family has been spoofed before with some very hilarious and spot-on impersonations of a whining Kim. They have to tread lightly because Kanye hasn’t been happy with all the flack Kim’s been getting about her pregnancy weight gain.”
The source adds that the writers are aware that they can’t upset the rapper, but are ready to push it as far as they possibly can.
“The writers are pushing real hard for an over-the-top skit and the producers are there to reel them right back in if they go too far. Normally the writers have free reign and just go for it, but there has to be some boundaries when your musical guest is Kanye and he’s super sensitive about the constant Kim bashing.”

The source also suggests that the producers might have come up with a solution to suit everyone, with the possibility of a skit where Kim and Kanye both get a cameo.
“That would probably make everyone in Kanye’s camp - and especially Kim - very happy,” the source said.
Most recently Kanye’s been keeping busy working on his new record, with the help of Daft Punk in Paris.
