Kanye West's love for Rick & Morty has been well documented in the past. Although it's been a while since we've seen him talk or tweet about it, his love for the show hasn't gone away. The rapper was recently approached by camera people and doubled down on his claim that the animated, sci-fi show is still among his favorites.

During Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's visit to NYC this past weekend for the Versace fashion show, The Blast approached Kanye as he got out of his car and asked him what his favorite show on TV is. The rapper immediately directly replied, "Rick and Morty" before walking directly into the building his wife already headed into. Kanye previously stated that he's watched every episode 5 times, so it's not that shocking that he still deems it his favorite show. 

It seems like the more Kanye praises the show, the closer he gets to land a cameo on Rick and Morty. After sharing his excitement on the show's return for a new season, Justin Roiland, the show's creator, reached out to Kanye on Twitter, asking him to hangout sometime. Kanye ultimately accepted. However, it seems they've developed a pretty solid relationship with one another. Over the past few months, Kanye's shared photos of himself and Kim as Rick and Morty characters. Furthermore, Kim Kardashian commissioned an original Rick And Morty song specially made for Kanye West's birthday titled, "Kanye's B-Day."
