Kanye: Obama "Trying to Be Cool" When He Called Me a Jacka** (@KanyeWest @BarackObama)

Kanye West has run afoul of a couple U.S. presidents in his day. First, he famously declared during a 2005 telethon in support of Hurricane Katrina victims that the sitting U.S. president George Bush “did not care about black people.” A few years later after an incident where he brusquely interrupted country-pop singer Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs, President Obama declared Yeezy a “jackass.”

In his recent interviews, Kanye West has been firing back at the President for his comments and that trend continued during an appearance on The Russ Parr Morning Show on 93.9 FM in Washington, D.C. West had some critical words for President Obama addressing the President’s anti-Kanye comments from several years ago.

“He was just trying to be cool in a room full of people that would be judging him also. It’s just like ‘Ye, I know you can take that one on the chest so let me just say that right now,'” Kanye said in regards to the President’s comments.

Despite the apparent shade thrown by Kanye in the President’s direction, Kanye clarified that he did not consider President Obama an enemy of his.

“Man, I ain’t got no problem with nobody.” Kanye said. “We aren’t each other’s enemies. Period.”
