Kanye West isn't too pleased with the most recent episode of "Saturday Night Live."
The popular sketch show was hosted by actress Issa Rae and took aim at West's run for president during a sketch on Saturday night.
In the sketch, Rae, 35, plays an NAACP lawyer discussing political candidates, offering support for Black candidates, despite how little she knows about them, often flipping on her own viewpoints.
However, the clip ends with the suggestion that she'll soon discuss West's candidacy.
