(Batesville, Ind.) - Often associated with the Kardashians and Hollywood hills, rapper Kanye West randomly showed up in Batesville on Sunday.

West, who brags 29 million Twitter followers and sold 21 million albums, showed up at Walhill Farm where artist Victory Boyd and her sibling band Infinity's Song were performing a small concert. 

In a surprise for the small audience, West came on stage and introduced the performers.

Earlier Sunday, West had been performing in Atlanta, but flew into Batesville just to see the band.
