A decade ago, nobody would really expect to see Kanye West on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Although he's made appearances over the years, it looks like he'll actually be making more frequent appearances on the show. The season premiere of KUWTK aired last night and Kanye did his first confessional interview. His decision to actually sit down along with his wife on the show isn't for moral support, it's because of The Incredibles. "This is my first time doing this," West began "I'm not actually attempting to do good."

"The movie The Incredibles, it starts off with the interviews,” he explained. “The wife got a big butt, and I just see our life becoming more and more like The Incredibles until we could finally fly."

The season premiere of KUWTK included what most Kanye fans were waiting for: his trip to Chicago. If you don't remember, last year, around the time Ye dropped, Rhymefest called out Kanye for not helping with Donda's House organization before slamming Kim and Kanye and removing Donda West's name from the organization

Kim said that she had beef with Rhymefest because he used Donda's name against Kanye. Kanye ultimately revealed the tension between the two stemmed from a bad interaction between his assistance and Rhymefest. Although Kim wasn't having it, Kanye quipped, “I’m not rational, I’m spiritual. Spirit is love... I’m all about forgiveness.”

By the end of it, Kanye and Rhymefest actually discussed their issues and apologized to one another. Rhymefest said that he was unhappy with Kanye's dealings with Donda's House, saying,  “Kanye is from a village and the village was feeling like our dear brother … turned his back on the village.” Kanye then explained that he was going through some stuff.
