After a Sept. 24, 2013 "Jimmy Kimmel Live" skit poking fun at Kanye West, the rapper called the comedian to tell him Kimmel's life would be "much better" if Kimmel made a public apology, and referred to himself as the most powerful voice in media, Kimmel revealed during his monologue two days later. West went on an expletive-filled Twitter rant targeting Kimmel soon after the phone call. "Finally, I'm in a rap feud," the comedian said on his show.


LOS ANGELES - ABC says Kanye West is appearing on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, less than two weeks after the pair got into what Kimmel called a "rap feud."


The musician will be a guest Wednesday on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the network said Tuesday.


In late September, Kimmel's show aired a skit that mocked a West radio interview by having a child re-create it. West responded with an irate phone call to Kimmel and a series of Twitter messages that labeled the comedian out of line and unfunny.


Discussing the incident on his show last month, a smiling Kimmel said he always wanted to be in a rap feud. The talk show host is known for his parodies and pranks, including a recent staged twerking accident video that became an online sensation.
