Kanye West will make an appearance on Family Guy spinoff, The Cleveland Show, EW reports. ‘Ye will star as a 19-year old rap star who named “Kenny West”, who gets in a rap battle with Cleveland Brown, Jr., pictured above.

“We knew that Kanye was a Family Guy fan,” Cleveland Show co-creator Rich Appel told EW. “He’s made reference to it on his website and stuff. In the writers’ room, we just thought it would be great to have him as a character on the town. So we came up with the story. He really liked it and said, ‘Sure!’”

“You know, I’ve worked on The Simpsons and Family Guy and King of the Hill,” says Appel. “We’ve had a lot of guest stars. It’s very rare that a guest star is eager and willing to come to the table read. He showed up 15 minutes early.”

When asked to re-record a few lines, an eager West went in the studio his new album is being produced in, and recorded the dialogue. Apparently this will not be West’s only appearance on the show.

“He could not have been more collaborative or easier to work with. We’re excited, because his character has become a recurring character in our universe…He’ll become our Sideshow Bob,” he added. [Source: EW}
