Kanye West made a surprise appearance on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' and performed the single Bound 2 from his latest album, Yeezus.
The rapper performed the second single from his latest album Yeezus, 'Bound 2' for the first time live alongside Charlie Wilson and The Roots who had an additional six-voice children's chorus, as the song was reworked for the television appearance.
The stellar performance was nearly overshadowed by one brash lyric that targeted a fellow performer. In a non-subtle way, Kanye 'dissed' a former boyfriend of his current partner Kim Kardashian, Ray J. The personal attack was "Brandy's little sister lame, man, he know it now," he rapped. "When a real brother hold you down you supposed to drown".
This may possibly be the start of Hip-hop's next big feud but West may want to attack it cautiously as there is an explicit tape of the mother to his daughter and Ray J getting closer than he would like, giving Ray J plenty of fuel for the anticipated response.
This was a rare televised performance as the hip-hop artist has eluded them in the past couple of months, with his most recent coming at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards where his performance of 'Blood on The Leaves' received a positive reaction.
Jimmy Fallon was more than delighted at the 36 years old take-over of his show as he tweeted...
