Kanye to Appear in Premiere of New Kardashian Show

Kanye West is riding high with his comeback 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' as the clear number one album in the country as far as critical accolades and sales. Now, it's time for the victory lap. The Chicago rapper "with a Nas flow" will be gracing the new season of the Kardashian sister vehicle 'Kourtney and Kim Take New York.' West will make a cameo appearance on the show's season premiere episode.

For his appearance, Yeezy is apparently brought in for his fashion and business expertise in helping the sisters open a version of their DASH NYC boutique in SoHo.

West recently dodged a question about a potential relationship with Kim Kardashian in an interview with Minneapolis radio station 96.3 NOW. When pressed for about two minutes about being in a relationship, Yeezy finally relented a vague answer.

"I mean, that's a good friend of mine, you know," he said with a trademark smile. Those running the event seemed to realize that was all they were going to get on the matter and quickly moved on to questions about his 'Runaway' film -- something West is more apt to amicably discuss in public.

Check Kanye out Sunday, Jan. 23 at 10PM ET on E!. Here's a preview:
