After calling Kanye West a “jackass” after the Grammy award winning rapper infamously stole the microphone from Taylor Swift, President Obama says that he is a big fan of the rapper.

Kanye West's New Dance Moves Take Over The Internet

On Thursday, President Barack Obama visited Jimmy Kimmel Live and the host said that apparently Kanye said that Obama has his home phone number.

In a statement, the rapper said that he’s had the ability to build relationships with amazing people and speak with amazing people. Apparently the rapper said he can “call Obama out of the blue, Obama calls the home phone by the way.”

Kimmel jokingly asked if the President has been talking to Kanye a lot lately and the Obama said they’ve only met twice.

"The first time when I was a senator, and he was with his mom, and he had just gotten big. He is from Chicago and so they wanted to meet. And he was very soft-spoken, very gracious," Obama said. "About six months ago, he came to an event."

While Kanye may think he and the President are BFF’s, it’s clear that Obama may not feel the same way.

"Look, I love his music, he's incredibly creative, but I don’t think I’’ve got his home number,” Obama said.

Kanye’s wife, reality star Kim Kardashian West, recently took to Instagram to share a photo of the duo posing alongside of President Obama.
