Chicago rapper Kanye West will make a second appearance on Saturday Night Live, just two months after a previous, high profile appearance went awry. The rapper will return to SNL this Saturday (February 21) where he will perform “Love Lockdown” and “Heartless,” taken from his critically acclaimed and commercially successful album, 808 & Heartbreak. In December, West attempted a performance on SNL, but his appearance suffered from technical challenges, when the auto-tune effect on his voice failed, resulting in accusations of lip-syncing. Actor Huge Laurie will serve as host of this week’s show, which airs Saturday’s at 11:30 PM on NBC.
