President Obama called Kanye West a jackass again. Back in September 2009 Obama called the rapper a “jackass” for his onstage ambush of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards.
In a brand-new interview in the May issue of The Atlantic, the President explains that he prefers the music of Jay-Z over Jay’s collaborator and friend Kanye West. When the writer reminds Obama of his 2009 “jackass” comment, he replied, ”He is a jackass…but he’s talented.”
