Kanye West confirmed for Cleveland Show part

Fox have confirmed that Kanye West will be lending his voice to The Cleveland Show alongside Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button):-

“West will appear as Kenny West, an all-around cool kid and the archenemy of Cleveland Jr. (Kevin Michael Richardson), and the two will engage in a rap battle for the affection of high school hottie Chanel (Henson).”

The same press release also appears to indicate a few changes to the cast line-up with Reagan Gomez-Preston replacing Nia Long as Roberta, the step-daughter, and Jason Sudeikis joining as “hipster wanna-be” Holt. Kevin Michael Richardson will be voicing Cleveland Jr. (formerly voiced by Mike Henry) and “loudmouth redneck” Lester.
