When Yeezy stepped onto the audition stage, Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick, Jr. and Keith Urban appeared to be surprised to see him, TMZ reports.

Either way, the rapper’s wife Kim Kardashian caught the whole shenanigan on camera and shared it with her millions of followers on Instagram and Twitter. “SURPRISE,” she captioned a photo of West smiling in front of the judges. See the pic below.
