Kim Kardashian on the other hand, who sounded more excited than Kanye, also shared one photo on her Instagram page, showing Kanye on a TV monitor sporting a black T-shirt, black jeans, brown jacket and a gold chain necklace.
"SURPRISE!" Kim captioned.
Following the surprise audition that shocked everyone, several leaked videos were uploaded by fans, showing the rapper's performance of his 2005 hit single "Gold Digger".
Besides their quick guesting on the American Idol, the two also attended some other important events. Kim and Kanye reportedly travelled to San Franciso with their daughter North West, to participate on the Democratic National Committee fundraiser for President Obama.
Reports say that Kanye's performance was the highlight of the Saturday's event. Adding to this, president Obama during the big event, gave him some important advices regarding his 2020 presidential bid, which he announced in late September.
"You're going to hear from a guy who I hear is talking about launching a potential political career. Kanye is thinking about running for.. Speaker of the House," Obama said in a statement as he fronted the big crowd.
He went on saying, "In case Kanye's serious about this whole POTUS thing or as he calls it, 'Peezy', I do have some advice for him. There's some stuff I picked up along the way."
Setting aside his presidential plans, Kanye West is also busy working on some projects but has already completed some of them, including his newly released single 'Fade' which debuted in mid September.
