10 Most Infamous SNL Musical Guests

10. Kanye West

A series as long-running as SNL has always gone through their fair share of divas in their time. From Steven Seagal back in the day to modern control freaks, there's always that one person who ruins the vibe of the week for the entire cast and crew. Then again, even the most highly strung of musical guests don't hold a candle to Kanye West.

You could honestly throw a dart at nearly every one of Kanye's performances since 2010 as a bit high-strung, starting with the tour for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Rewriting the entire concept of what the musical guest was supposed, West would frequently get into arguments with the stage designers and bring in his own elaborate productions into the mix, from ballerinas to sometimes just a bare-bones screen operating behind him. There's also the most recent time he was on with the Sunday Service Choir, which involved him wearing a MAGA hat and using his platform for preach more often than he played actual music.

Aside from the weird extracurriculars though, West has seemed to dazzle every time he walked into the studio, whether it be through outraging the congregation or holding them in the palm of his hand. Regardless about what you have to say about his music or otherwise, the guy sure knows how to work the room he's in.
