US President Barack Obama has denied that he has Kanye West's home phone number and he calls the rapper.
Obama, who has previously referred to West as "a jackass", told Jimmy Kimmel that he had met the 37-year-old rapper twice, News.com.au reported.
The 53-year-old President continued that the first time was when West was a senator and he was with his mother and he had just gotten big.
Obama added that then he met the rapper about six months ago when he came to an event.
