E! News has released Kanye West’s full audition video, which will be aired on this upcoming season of “American Idol”.  Kanye makes his unannounced appearance during the San Francisco auditions.

“We were in San Francisco, and they said, ‘We’ve got a contestant that’s just going to jump into the line,’” Idol host Ryan Seacrest revealed to E! News. “And up walked Kim and Kanye—Kim pregnant and Kanye enthusiastic and ready to go in there. He walks in there and does a lyric about J.Lo from one of his songs.”

Of course, Yeezy was accompanied by his then pregnant wife Kim Kardashian, who stood outside the audition room like a doting family member. Kanye West performed his 2005 hit “Gold Digger,” probably in hopes of getting a “YES” from Jennifer Lopez. She is mentioned in the song.

This season marks the 15th and final airing of the popular show. Returning are Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr.
