Sources say that Kanye West has turned
down the opportunity to be a judge on this
season of American Idol.
Could you imagine Kanye West sitting at the
judges table on FOX's hit show "American
Idol"? Well, it apparently was a serious
thought.
Sources say that Kanye West was offered the
final judge position for this upcoming season
(Season 13) of the Fox hit show 'American
Idol'. Not surprised, the "Black Skinhead"
rapper turned down the gig because it was too
"mainstream" and would ruin his reputation. a
US Weekly source, who broke this story, says
"He didn't want to go that mainstream. He
didn't want to lose any street cred. So he
turned it down."
American Idol producers had also supposedly
met with Will.i.am, Sean "Diddy Combs", and
Rodney Jenkins for that final judge spot.
However in the end, their top choice seemed
to be songwriter and record producer Dr.
Luke, who will sit alongside Keith Urban and
Jennifer Lopez in this upcoming season.
Kanye is set to appear on Kris Jenner's talk
show this Friday and perform Sunday at the
MTV Video Music Awards.
Would you have watched American Idol if
Kanye took the gig?
