Kanye West, who has sparked outrage during a live telethon last month, when he said that "George Bush doesn't care about black people", has recently teamed up with Mike Myers for a topical comedy sketch.

The rapper also made an appearance on Saturday NIGHT LIVE. Myers, who stand alongside West during the telethon remarks, was invited as well.
The show's creator Lorne Michaels sent cast member Finesse Mitchell into West's dressing room to talk him out of saying anything controversial during his performance.
The rapper stepped out and confronted Michaels before strolling down to corridors, and met Mike Myers, who said: "How's everything going? I haven't seen you since... when was it? I forgot, the telethon.
I got a lot of calls about it - mostly from the FBI and the IRS. They rook away from my American citizenship. Still got my Canadian one to fall back on! I'm pretty sure my phone's tapped. They follow me now."

Kanye and Myers talked for a while and decided to do a sketch together, about everything that happened during and after the New Orleans tragedy and how it has influenced their life.

Kanye West suggested Myers to "party on" before taking to the stage to perform his hit track Gold Digger with a full orchestra. He was later joined by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine to perform their song HEARD 'EM SAY.
