In the show, West appeared onstage dressed in a blow-up Perrier bottle outfit alongside rapper Lil Pump, who wore an outfit resembling a Fiji water bottle. The two of them sang “I Love It” although many of the lyrics had to be bleeped out by the show.

The new moniker was just one of many proclamations made by Ye this past week. On Thursday, he said on Twitter that he would be dropping a new album, Yandhi, during SNL. In his broadcast, the rapper gave a shoutout to his friend Lil Wayne, who just released his own long-awaited album Tha Carter V.
Ye tweeted, “we’re releasing Yandhi Saturday night We know it will come in number 2 to my brother Lil Wayne and that’s lovely The universe needs Ye and Wayne music at the same time.”
Ariana Grande was originally scheduled to perform, but canceled at the last minute due to “emotional reasons.”
