Following his live performance in front of President Obama at the Democratic National Committee fundraiser yesterday (October 10), Kanye West swung by the San Francisco leg of the latest round of American Idol auditions for a surprise tryout. Lo is actually mentioned in the track!

After performing for President Obama nearby, the rapper, 38, stopped by the San Francisco auditions for the Fox reality series, which is now filming its final season.
“My psychic told me she have an a- like Serena, Trina, Jennifer Lopez“, his rap went, as Lopez, who clearly enjoyed the audition, jammed and sang along from her seat and waving her hands in the air. Kardashian then later shared a snap of him facing the judges later on social media, with host Ryan Seacrest doing the same thing later after the artist got his Golden Ticket. Apart from being rapper, producer and fashion designer, TMZ likes to be the “last American Idol”.
Yeezus fans can rest easy about the results: The superstar got his golden ticket (duh), and – should he desire to start his career over – would be more than welcome at the famed Hollywood stage of Idol auditions.
Kim captured the moment when the judges realized who was going to perform for them. Seacrest captioned a photo of West going to high-five his wife, with a rare huge smile on his face.
Kanye West has his eyes set on being the next American Idol along with becoming president of the U.S.in 2020. At the event, President Obama was also in attendance and had a few amusing and ironic advice for the 2020 presidential hopeful.
The audition was one of the final tapings for the show, which premieres in January. “Saying you have a lovely dark twisted fantasy – that’s what’s known as off-message in politics”, he added referring to Kanye’s 2010 album.
