Showing up to the final season of American Idol auditions in San Francisco last October was world famous Hip-Hop artist and fashion designer Kanye West. The fans finally got to see the full clip which was released last Monday.

The teaser clips before the official release showed West taking the American Idol Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. by surprise as he takes the audition stage, singing his 2005 hit called Gold Digger.

"My name is Kanye and I'm from the south side of Chicago. I'm originally a producer. I always wanted to rap and no one believed in me," West tells the rather amused and humored judges. Lopez, who was mentioned in the track that West has chosen to perform, even joked about wishing the rapper a good luck.

While the audition was going on inside, Kim Kardashian, wife of West, along with Ryan Seacrest waited together outside the room. Kardashian revealed that she was not really nervous for her husband because of her immense amount of belief in him.

"I'm not really nervous because I do really believe in him. I didn't give any advice on singing, rapping... I just really believe in him," Kardashian tells Seacrest. West storms out of the room with his golden ticket after performing his A capella version of his own song.

West is currently working on new music for his seventh album called Swish. He recently released his track called 'Facts', throwing major jabs at Nike, saying that the company treats employees just like slaves. He also sang about the NBA superstar Lebron James receiving a billion dollars worth of lifetime deal, to which James responded with positivity for the company. The basketball player stated that he will side with Nike no matter the situation despite his friendly relationship with West.
