According to an interview with Corden in [British _GQ_](http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/james-corden-gq-september-issue), West has agreed to appear on the popular segment of the _Late Late Show_ twice, but has cancelled each time. “Kanye has been booked twice now and both times something came up,” Corden said. West was apparently quite apologetic for the cancellations, sending Corden three dozen roses “arranged in the shape of a cube” as a floral apology. “What could be more [Kanye](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/04/kanye-west-taylor-swift-flowers) than that?” Corden said in the interview. He’s optimistic that Yeezy will eventually take the passenger seat soon, though. “He’ll do it eventually. He wants to do it,” he said. \[H/T [The Independent](http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/kanye-west-carpool-karaoke-james-corden-beyonce-roses-to-apologise-late-late-show-a7168031.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4435018/kanye-west-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4435018/kanye-west-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/"},"headline":"Kanye West Sent James Corden Roses for Canceling on Carpool Karaoke Again","datePublished":"2016-08-02T14:44:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:59.650Z","description":"Roses, so Kanye","url":"https://time.com/4435018/kanye-west-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Music","Kanye West","james corden","carpool karaoke"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3a789fb34f6e6369/69889c8a3c1639197045e17d/james-corden-kanye-west.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3a789fb34f6e6369/69889c8a3c1639197045e17d/james-corden-kanye-west.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Show and Tea","caption":"CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Show and Tea","creditText":"Jeff Vespa—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4435018/kanye-west-carpool-karaoke-james-corden/","name":"Kanye West Sent James Corden Roses for Canceling on Carpool Karaoke Again"}}]}] ```
