1. Obama Called Kanye West A Jackass (Twice)
When you are the POTUS, there are a few things that you need to be careful of. One of them is making sure you don’t call someone famous a jackass, which Obama did in 2009.
It was clearly an off the cuff moment when someone asked Obama his thoughts on Kanye interrupting Swift at the award show, and he responded that Kanye was a jackass. This was not the last time Obama would stand by that opinion though. When asked in 2012 his thoughts on Kanye, Obama stated that “He is a jackass, but he’s talented” and that he prefers the music of Jay-Z and Beyonce.
When Kanye was first notified of the president’s comments back in 2009, he stated
“When Obama called me ‘jackass’ after the Taylor Swift incident, I thought that must have been speaking off the record. Obama has way more important stuff to worry about than my public perception…if he said that to relate to the room or lighten the room up and the whole mood, then I’d be more than happy to be the butt of all of his jokes if it in some way helps his overall mission… I’m a soldier of culture. I’m resilient. I’m sure I’ll still beat him in basketball.”
This is not the first time Kanye has had issues with the president. Kanye famously stated “George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People” while on the air during an event to raise relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina. There is no telling who will be the next American president, but I bet you Kanye will have an opinion about it!
