He went from rags to rapping with Yeezy.
A homeless man’s dreams came true Saturday morning, when Kanye West spotted him rapping on the street in Greenwich Village, according to a video posted online.
West — who hit the Big Apple to host “SNL” Saturday — halted in his tracks on the way to Electric Lady Studios on West 8th Street to watch the man named Nino Blu rap.
“Yo tell them your name,” West, 41, can be heard telling the ecstatic musician in an iPhone video posted on Instagram.
”My name is Nino Blu…and I’m here with Kanye West,” Blu says, as West turns the camera to himself, sporting a MAGA hat and orange parka. “Actually, my birthday was the other day, and I just became homeless because the guy at the place I was living with was a little crazy.”
Blu — who was wearing a cobalt blue sweatshirt — continues to shower praises on the “Gold Digger” rapper outside a Mt. Sinai Doctors office. Blu hails from Orlando, Florida, but his car broke down in New York several days ago, according to his social media.
The aspiring rapper also seems to have a knack for “running” into famous hip hop stars, as his Instagram is littered with photos of him with Drake, Cardi B, Shaggy and others.
An Instagram video shows him rapping on “The Breakfast Club” radio show in March with Charlamagne tha God, after conveniently running into him outside the station.
“I’m out here on the street and Kanye is bringing me into the studio right now,” Blu continues. “He heard me rap, he let me rap to him. He says I have good energy and he’s gonna show me some beats and stuff.”
“I feel extremely blessed. I feel very happy,” he says. “I feel like God is just looking out for me right now. I don’t really have any words to describe what’s going on, it just feels like a crazy ass miracle.”
He adds, “I just want everyone back there to know if you have a dream, if you have anything that you feel like you’re pursuing, keep going for that sh-t until the very end. Cuz you don’t know what potentially could happen, the universe works in very mysterious ways and I feel extremely blessed for Kanye West to help me out with this.”
West and his wife Kim Kardashian were spotted leaving the studio Friday night along with their children, TMZ reported.
