Kanye West will make his appearance on Thursday.

The past few months have been nothing short of eventful for Kanye West. He released his own album, a collaborative project with Kid Cudi and produced projects for Nas, Pusha T and Teyana Taylor. Each album was released a week a part from each other over the span of five weeks. However, the release of the projects came on the heels of his controversial appearance on TMZ Live and his comments on Donald Trump. At this point, it's incredibly unclear what to expect from Kanye West's media appearances. That being said, Kanye West will be making his triumphant return to the Jimmy Kimmel show this week.

Jimmy Kimmel hit Twitter to reveal that he has a very special guest making his way back onto the show this week.

"On Thursday night, HURRICANE KANYE strikes @JimmyKimmelLive! @KanyeWest," he announced on Twitter.

The two of them have had an interesting relationship with each other. Kimmel previously spoofed Kanye's interview with Zane Lowe on BBC around the time Yeezus came out. Kanye didn't appreciate it and completely lashed out at the late-night host on Twitter. However, they later made up and Kimmel had Kanye as a guest on his show shortly after.

Jimmy Kimmel actually admitted that the feud with Kanye West made him "so happy" because he feels "very confident in a situation like that.”
