American Idol Offering Kanye West $18 Million To Be A Judge (News)


TMZ is reporting that Fox has expressed interest in having Kanye West as a judge on American Idol.
That would be crazy to see Yeezy  as a judge, we all know he wouldn’t be afraid to keep it real.

Kanye West is negotiating with producers to become an “American Idol” judge … TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ, “Idol” honchos reached out to Kanye recently about filling one of the open judging spots … and Kanye expressed interest.

But that doesn’t mean he’s on board — we’re told Yeezy is still unsure about accepting the gig. The way it was put to us … “He’s on the fence,” because he’s not sure if “A.I.” is in his wheelhouse.

And there’s another big hang up — cash. Informed sources tell TMZ … “Idol” would “at least match Mariah’s salary” — a cool $18 mil a year.
