President Obama disses Kanye!

We love a celeb spat, us. But when its between the president of the 'world' and say a musician who's no stranger to twitter feuds, then we want to know how it pans out.

Almost three years ago, President Barack Obama called Kanye West a “jackass” after West’s infamous 2009 VMAs incident when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s award acceptance speech. In the president's words (not realising his mic was turned on- quite typical): “I thought that was really inappropriate. You know it was like she’s getting an award — why are you butting in?” he said. “The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She’s getting her award. What’s he doing up there? He’s a jackass.”And it sounds like the president still holds the same opinion about the Chicago rapper.

In an interview with the May issue of The Atlantic, the president says he prefers Jay-Z over Kanye West, and he still thinks Kanye is a jackass. A talented jackass, he noted, but still a jackass no less.
Check out an excerpt from the interview below:

“Kanye or Jay-Z?” The president smiles. “Jay-Z.” he says, as if the answer should be obvious.

When it comes to the most meaningful pop-cultural divide of the moment, the question of whether you prefer Kanye West or Jay-Z—the top two hip-hop artists in the world, who recently joined forces for a national mega-tour called Watch the Throne—Barack Obama is clearly a Jay-Z guy.

Jay-Z is about control. Jay-Z is about success. He’s a natural-born leader. He is married to Beyonce Knowles, the gorgeous, sugar-spun R&B star who recently joined with Michelle Obama in a public campaign against the epidemic of childhood obesity.

Together, Jay and Beyonce are worth something close to $1 billion. Jay-Z fills arenas and enunciates clearly—unlike Kanye West, who jumps onstage and interrupts during award ceremonies, cries on talk shows, and jets off to Rome to apprentice with the House of Fendi.

It is safe to say Obama doesn't fancy Kanye that much. Waiting for your response Kanye...lol
