Chris Redd wants ‘SNL’ to bring back the Kanye West jokes. But this one is off limits

“Saturday Night Live” star Chris Redd thinks the Kanye West jokes are “gonna start flying soon” on the NBC sketch comedy.

The show, which also stars the rapper’s latest rival, Pete Davidson, has stayed away from roasting the Grammy winner over the past few months despite his very public feuds and parody-ready behavior. And that’s reportedly because Davidson, who’s dating Ye’s ex-wife and beauty mogul, Kim Kardashian, has asked the show’s writers and performers to leave it alone.

But Redd, who impersonates the “Yeezus” artist on “SNL,” doesn’t think that truce will last much longer given the events of the past few weeks and Ye’s outbursts that have resulted in Instagram suspending him this week.
