James Corden reveals bizarre reason Kanye West has never appeared on Carpool Karaoke
We need to see him on the show!
Last updated 9th Aug 2018
Some of the biggest music stars in the world have appeared on James Corden's famous Carpool Karaoke sketch. The likes of Justin Bieber, Adele, Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes and many more have taken to the car to belt out some of their biggest hits with James, but it turns out rapper Kanye West has cancelled a number of times.
James admitted his disappointment that Kanye is yet to appear on the show during a game of 'Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts' with Kanye's mother-in-law Kris Jenner, which involves James and his guests choosing to eat something gross or telling the truth on The Late Late Show.
As momager Kris asked James why he is yet to have Kanye as a guest on Carpool Karaoke, the popular host decided to answer the question, instead of eating a 1000-year-old egg.
James said, “We’ve tried! He’s cancelled twice! Maybe even three times.”
James then revealed more, adding that on one occasion he was actually sat outside of Kanye's house, before the 'Famous' singer cancelled on him. James added, “I was in a car, and by the time the call finished, I sat outside his house and they were like, ‘He’s not in the zone for it right now. We’ll do it another time."
But Kanye did try and make it up to James, the dad-of-three sent him a VERY expensive bunch of flowers and even a pair of Yeezys! James told Kris, "He sent me these incredible flowers in a cube… and he sent me a pair of Yeezys. And people were like, ‘Whoa, they’re so expensive.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, they cost my show $45,000.'"
Hopefully James can persuade him one day! 🙏
