Keeping Up with the Kardashianswill now be keeping up withKanye West.
On Sunday evening, audiences watched as the 16th season of the E!reality series premiered, with West giving his first on-camera interview for the show. (He’s made cameos before but never gave a confessional.) And the milestone moment was just a glimpse of the 41-year-old rapper’s appearances to come.
According to aNew York Timespiece — featuring interviews with the Kardashian sisters and matriarchKris Jenner—publishedSaturday, West will “prominently” appear throughout the current season.

“The new season ofKUWTK, asKeeping Up With the Kardashiansis so often abbreviated, will prominently feature Kanye, who will be regularly (and novelly) interviewed for into-the-camera confessionals. He and Kim married in 2014 and ever since he has exerted his vision on the show and the family’s related businesses. He’s not just another character coming and going like many of the other men, but a major force behind all of it,” theTimesreported.
“He frequently texts with the producers, offering input on the opening images which initially had a 1970s sitcom feel and now feature the women in nude tones and sleek, silvery poses. And he shared his thoughts on the backdrop of the confessionals, which now bathe the women in amber light.”
As E! president Adam Stotsky told the newspaper, “He’s a real creative force, clearly, and had thoughts on marketing, thoughts on presentation of the show, on the opening title sequence.”
During Sunday’s season 16 premiere, West said, “This is my first time doing this.”

“I’m not actually attempting to do good, I just like, part of the reason why I even thought about or considering doing this recording like— what do you call it? this interview — is because of the movieThe Incredibles. It starts off with the interviews. The superheroes are giving interviews,” he continued. “The wife got a big butt and I just see our life becoming more and more and more like The Incredibles before we can finally fly.”
Then, he and wifeKim Kardashian Westrevealed some big news over a meal with momKris Jenner, her boyfriendCorey Gamble, sistersKhloé KardashianandKourtney Kardashian, Kourtney’s exScott Disickand their kids Penelope, 6, and Mason, 9.
