Kanye West To Appear On The Cleveland Show May 2nd

We knew that Kanye West would be appearing on the Fox Family Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show, but now we know when: Entertainment Weekly reports 'Ye will lend his voice to the show's May 2nd episode.  According to EW, Kanye will voice a 19-year-old local musician named Kenny West, who takes on Cleveland Brown Jr. in a rap battle as they both try to impress a girl, voiced by Taraji P. Henson.

The show's co-creator, Rich Appel, told EW.com that compared to all the guest stars he's worked with on The Simpsons, Family Guy and King of the Hill, Kanye "could not have been more collaborative or easier to work with," and added, "He showed up 15 minutes early." Kanye has already recorded an appearance for another episode, and Appel hopes to use him more, saying, "He'll become our Sideshow Bob!", referring to the character on The Simpsons, voiced by Kelsey Grammar.
