Kanye West Appears As Homeless Rapper On The Cleveland Show

An episode of The Cleveland Show featuring a cartoon version of Kanye West has aired in the US.

The season two premiere saw the rapper play MC Kenny West, an aspiring hip-hop star who has been left homeless.

The show's lead character Cleveland repeatedly poked fun at West throughout the episode.

"Look, it's locally famous rapper Kenny West," he said, before later telling the wannabe rapper: "Cable installers are today's rappers.”

The episode also made reference to West's infamous criticism of George Bush's reaction to Hurricane Katrina and outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.

West recorded his guest appearance for the Family Guy spin-off during a three hour session in Los Angeles in 2009.

Meanwhile, the rapper is set to release his latest solo album 'Dark Twisted Fantasy' in November.
