Kanye West delivered an awkward performance of “Jesus Walks,” “Only One,” and “Wolves” on Saturday Night Live’s 40 Anniversary special last night.
West kicked off his multi-track set with “Jesus Walks” while lying completely flat on his back, with overhead cameras capturing his face and audio as he belted out his 2004 anthem into a microphone suspended over his mouth.
The ever-supportive wife, Mrs. Kardashian West, instantly turned to Instagram after Yeezy’s performance, calling it an “Iconic moment;” meanwhile, Twitter users wasted no time slamming the performance.
The rapper later rocked light blue contacts as he appeared as himself along with Mike Myers and Dana Carvey during a Wayne’s World skit.
