It was really only a matter of time before Kanye West finally became a topic of discussion on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and his run down of Kanye's debt situation, along with the Grammys boycott is absolutely honest and hilarious.
If you tuned into the Grammys on February 15, you know that Colbert introduced the cast of Hamilton, a Broadway play with hip-hop roots that actually took home a Grammy.
Colbert gave a bit of a recap on that, congratulated Kendrick Lamar on his success at the Grammys and also congratulated Taylor Swift, before getting down to the Kanye business.
He rehashed the news of Kanye's threat to boycott the Grammys if he didn't win album of the year for The Life of Pablo, despite not being nominated.
Colbert addressed the lyrics that Kanye rapped on "Famous," suggesting that he might still have a chance of having sex with Taylor Swift.
"Kanye I have a feeling the odds of you having sex with Taylor Swift are as about the same as you winning a Grammy you weren't nominated for," said Colbert.
Colbert continued to review the issue in a way that only he could. Especially when it came to the $53 million debt quote that added "we shall overcome" on the end.
Colbert, like many also mocked the fact that Kanye reached out to Mark Zuckerberg for $1 billion, as well as the rather vague ideas listed on the chart Kanye tweeted.
