Hey … sometimes celebrities are busy people. Kanye West, however, is a special kind of busy.

According to James Corden, before he and Kanye were able to film their special “Airplane Karaoke” segment, the singer canceled on the host two times.

“Complex fellow,” James told Jimmy Kimmel in a recent interview. “This was actually the third time that we had tried to do a sort of ‘Carpool Karaoke’ with Kanye.”

He continued, “The first time he agreed and then he canceled a few days later, and you’re like, ‘Well, that’s a shame, but it’s fine.’ The second time that Kanye canceled ‘Carpool Karaoke’ was so late in the day that I was driving up his road in the car, with all the cameras, and got this phone call saying it’s been canceled.”

“I think I basically turned around outside his house and drove back to the studio,” he laughed.

Ay ay ay! Well, James wasn’t the only one Kanye might have canceled on.

Jimmy himself shared in the interview that he’s “been in the mix with Kanye” and knows that “things go according to Kanye’s plan” when scheduling something with him.

It never pays to be a flake, y’all. But, in Kanye’s case it clearly does.
