Kanye West will guest star in the new animated FOX series, “The Cleveland Show,” a spin-off of “The Family Guy,” which will premiere this fall, reports People. West will play the “not-so-mega-star rapper Kenny West.”
Last week, West, 31, read his lines with series regular Sanaa Lathan, who plays Cleveland Brown’s wife Donna, and guest star Taraji P. Henson.
“It was surprising to us that [he] was so into it that he came to the table [read], and wonderfully surprising how cool he was, how funny he was and how unassuming he was,” says executive producer Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland Brown and other characters on the show. “He’s just a great presence.”
Check out a teaser for the new show.

I am glad to see black spin off of such a popular show. It will shed light on Kanye as not just being 1 dimensional. I may take a peek at an episode or two just to support it.
