Kanye says, really nicely, that Obama DOES call his home
Kanye West and President Obama have a mutual respect for one another, but the two seem to disagree over one silly thing: The fact the Obama has called West at home.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel told Obama that West said, "Obama calls the home phone, by the way." Obama didn't exactly corroborate that:
"I met Kanye twice. The first time was when I was a senator and he was with his mom and he had just gotten big... And then about six months ago he came to an event. I love his music," Obama responded. "I don't think I've got his home number."
So, TMZ asked Kanye if it is, in fact, true that Obama has called him up. A very friendly Mr. West, who also happily dealt with a fan rapping to him and questions about Rush Limbaugh, responded:
"I love Obama. He called our house before. He knows that. Don't try to pit us against each other."
To be fair, the president never said he didn't call Kanye, just that he didn't have the rapper's home number. Maybe Obama's staff has Kanye's digits.
