The mogul of the rap world, Ye, aka Kanye West, is the record holder as well as the smasher of controversies. His decades-long career has served an endless platter of many delicious dramas, proving the media and comedy shows a massive course of humor to feast upon. Many a time a subject of parodies, Ye has once again been of immense use to NBC’s longest-running comedy show, Saturday Night Live, in their latest episode. Being the subject as well as the initiator of mockery, this on-screen portrayal of Ye was full of subtle comedy.

Famous for its bold take blended with well-placed humour, SNL chose to stir the pot of all the major controversies Ye has been a part of in the past.

With a spectacular episode on Saturday, May 17, SNL wrapped up its 50th season, hosted by Scarlett Johansson. And one particular sketch was entirely devoted to Ye in which the singer played by show regular, Kenan Thompson, enters an elevator occupied by Johannson and Mike Myers. Though the actress runs away on seeing him, Myers finds himself stuck in the elevator with Ye against his best wishes. And when the elevator stops functioning, Myers goes into panic mode, saying, “I’m claustrophobic!”. To this, the on-screen Ye replies, “I’m a few phobics myself.”

The entire sketch, named Mike Myers Elevator Rides, was a hilarious amalgamation of Ye’s controversial moments while Myers brilliantly expressed his discomfort and the desire to get out of the elevator fast enough. While Kenan Thompson inquired about the well-being of Myers and his family, the Canadian actor dodged the bullets as best as he could. The humour increased even more when some people ran away from stepping into the elevator once they saw Ye and Myers. The act ends in Myers' frenzy as he jams the elevator, pushing buttons, trying to step out, and ends up being stuck with Ye. But this is not the first time that the singer found space on SNL.

SNL seems to have a deep love for Ye with many of its episodes making a parody of Ye's statements and action.

This is not the first time that Ye, who has recently made news about the ‘Heil Hitler’ track, has been mocked on SNL. The rapper has always been a constant subject, used in many of his hilarious acts, be it Weekend Update with Pete Davidson on Kanye West or the Donald Trump Kanye West Cold Open. His controversial moves and political statements have always helped SNL give many of its brilliant episodes. However, this final episode, along with the Ye sketch, was a brilliant closure of the 50th season saw some unexpected cameos.

While Gina Gershon and Emily Ratajkowski appeared in the pre-recorded Bowen's Still Straight sketch, Bad Bunny was the musical guest, appearing in the Player of the Week sketch and the Couples at the Bar sketch.  But beyond it all, the Ye sketch was a good watch, which stood out for its funny take on the singer. Yet, above everything else, it was the Ye sketch that stood out the most to hip-hop fans.
