President Obama Still Thinks Kanye West Is A “Jackass”

G.O.O.D. Music rapper Kanye West is still not one of President Barack Obama favourite persons.

The president recently shared his opinion on Hip-Hop music and had some not so kind words for Yeezy.

A journalist from The Atlantic asked President Obama the question while he was attending a fundraiser at Daniel, an upscale gourmet restaurant on Park Ave. in Manhattan earlier this week.

President Obama says he prefers Jay-Z over Kanye West, “although I like Kanye,” Obama said. “He’s a Chicago guy. Smart. He’s very talented.”

In 2009, President Obama branded Kanye West a jackass after he infamously interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

The U.S. Commander-In-Chief still feels the same way. “He is a jackass,” Obama said in a new interview. “But he’s talented.”
