Kim and Kanye force rapper Saint West to retire from music

But Kanye West has proved he’s not below television talent contests as he’s shown he does indeed possess a sense of humour and good sportsmanship by auditioning for American Idol in a skit to promote the new series.

And of the potential unknowns vying to join their place alongside such musical success stories as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and… uh… “I’m from south side of Chicago”, he says in the preview clip, which was posted to Kardashian’s Twitter page earlier this morning.

This comes shortly after Kanye described Kim’s new Kimoji app as “dope”.

Kanye has made no secret about his love for wine, so we aren’t surprised they are going t be making their own wine at their gorgeous French Chateau style mansion!

‘I’m originally a producer. “I always wanted to rap but nobody really believed in me so I wanted to try some things out”, he explains.

In a cute moment, Kardashian tells Ryan Seacrest that she believes her husband will, indeed, emerge victorious with a Golden Ticket.

West auditioned during the show’s stop in San Francisco and performed his hit “Gold Digger”. The 15th and farewell season of “American Idol” will be released with a two-night four-hour event on Wednesday, January 6 and Thursday, January 7 beginning at 8 P.M on FOX.
