Kanye West's 'inspirational' act of kindness for a homeless man that he found

The 41-year-old star stopped Nino Blu early on Saturday morning (29.09.18) and was sufficiently impressed with his musical talents to invite him to the studio. 

Nino - who recently became homeless - was thrilled that Kanye took the time to talk to him, calling it a "miracle". 

Kanye has posted a video clip of Nino on his Twitter account, with the aspiring star saying he feels "blessed" to have been given a chance by the outspoken rapper.

Later on Saturday, Kanye is to appear on 'Saturday Night Live', having replaced Ariana Grande on the show. 

The news was recently announced by the show's executive producer Lorne Michaels, who said that Ariana - whose ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, died of a suspected drug overdose earlier this month - cancelled her appearance for "emotional reasons".
