It was only expected that Kanye West would be a topic of discussion on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, which was hosted by Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, but they seemed to encompass just how ridiculous his week was for all of us bystanders in one parody and the hip-hop heavyweight got in on the laughter.
On Sunday night (May 6), the 40-year-old rapper took to Twitter to share a link to the A Kanye Place spoof, which was a nod to the horror film, A Quiet Place, and added three emojis of the laughing face and flames. It's a lighthearted and minimal take on the controversial wave of press, but we'll take it over his baffling comments any day of the week. He also continued his support for Glover by sharing a link to his new music video for "This Is America" minutes after his SNL reaction message. Chrissy Teigen even got into the mix after the skit name-dropped her, writing, "Oh my god!! This is my buzzer beater feeling!!"
In case you missed out, the spoof places Glover in a cornfield alongside castmates Cecily Strong, Kenan Thompson, Beck Bennett, and Aidy Bryant. Similiar to the plot of the film, the group attempts to stay silent to avoid noise-hungry monsters, but Glover's character has a hard time doing so because of all the updates from his phone on West's latest doings. One by one the group gets picked apart as the monsters grab those who can't react to the hip-hop heavyweight's latest sentiments with silence.
It's likely the Kanye front will remain silent for the time being as he's back to work on his upcoming albums. As per TMZ, the rapper will be in Wyoming for several weeks to put the finishing touches on his new LPs. "Sources tell TMZ, Kanye flew out of L.A. Wednesday for the secluded home he's rented in Wyoming ... literally on a mountaintop," TMZ reported last week. "Kanye's spent a lot of time there over the last few months, flying in various rappers and producers to help with his music."
