Kanye West Canceled On 'Carpool Karaoke' Twice

By Amanda Wicks

(RADIO.COM) – James Corden has hosted some rather big names on his drive to work. The Late Late Show's popular "Carpool Karaoke" segment has seen Justin Bieber, Michelle Obama, Stevie Wonder and many more grace the passenger seat of Corden's SUV. But not everyone is available to come play.

Corden has tapped Kanye West to participate not once but twice in "Carpool Karaoke," and unfortunately the rapper has had to cancel both times. Corden didn't specify why, simply explaining something had come up. "He'll do it eventually," he told British GQ. "He wants to do it."

But just because West had to back out that doesn't mean he was rude about it. According to Corden, West made sure to send along a memorable apology. Three dozen white roses to be exact. "Arranged in the shape of a cube," Corden added. "What could be more Kanye than that?"

The other big get Corden wants for "Carpool Karaoke" is none other than Queen Bey herself. "It would break the internet," he said, and rightfully so. "She's on tour right now. We're working on it." Beyoncé appeared on Lip Sync Battle in the fall when Channing Tatum dressed up like her, so anything is possible.

But Corden is right about Bey appearing on "Carpool Karaoke." The internet likely wouldn't recover from that moment.
