Kanye Insists Obama Is a Fan (Despite What He Told Jimmy Kimmel)

Can't tell him nothing.

Late last week, President Barack Obama went on Jimmy Kimmel to read some classic “mean tweets” and such (see below for some comic relief).

ICYMI: the interview touched on many aspects of pop culture, sports, pseudo-politics, and other talk show fare. Kimmel even offered to clear up the rumors about home phone calls with Kanye “Mr. Kardashian” West.

Obama does dig Kanye’s tunes (although he’s much more a Jay-Z guy), but the President refuted those rumors by saying, “I don’t think I have his home number.”

Kanye is a firm devotee of the Kardashian PR plan: don’t say or do ANYTHING unless you’re within earshot of a paparazzi or a TV crew.
