The rapper was scheduled to appear on Kimmel’s final show from Austin, Texas, on Friday, but Jimmy announced Wednesday night that he canceled.

“Willie Nelson will be here in studio with us,” Jimmy said of Friday night’s show. “Kanye West was supposed to be here, too but he canceled — or maybe he’s planning to jump on stage unexpectedly to interrupt Willie. So if you do not like Kanye West, make sure to tune in Friday night to not see him.” 

In 2013, Kanye appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to settle a beef caused by a sketch that spoofed a particularly pretentious interview Kanye gave to the BBC.
