They may have traded Twitter insults about the title of Kanye West's new album.

But Waves is remaining  the name, despite Wiz Khalifa's objections.

And Kanye will be playing tracks from it as the musical guest on Saturday Nigh Live on February 13, just two days after its release.

The NBC show announced the news on Twitter on Friday with a snap of the running list for the next two editions.

Melissa McCarthy will be the celebrity guest host on the same day.

The choice will likely guarantee the iconic sketch show a giant audience following the huge spat between the rappers about the title of the album's name, which fired up their millions of fans.

Wiz, real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz, objected to Waves as he felt it disrespected the legacy of rapper Max B, who was the founder of the Wave sound. He is currently serving 75 years in prison for a deadly armed robbery.

And there was added confusion when the 28-year-old told Yeezus to 'Hit the KK and become yourself' in a tweet.

Kanye thought KK referred to the initials of his wife, Kim Kardashian, when in fact Wiz was telling him to chill out with his Khalifa Kush weed.

The 38-year-old replied, saying: 'I'm happy that I now know that KK means weed… please excuse the confusion … now back to #WAVES' and he deleted a lot of his tweets.

But Wiz obviously isn't over it yet as he dissed the rapper during a concert in Santiago, Chile on Thursday. 

The rapper repeatedly referred to Kanye during his set and at one point, according to TMZ, yelled: 'We coming for you Kanye, you better run n**a!'
