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.

The news comes after West spoke Oxford University students about his relationship with Obama where he had said that he understood that he was a servant and with his voice, with his ability to build relationships with amazing people, he spoke to amazing people like calling Elon Musk out of the blue or call Obama out of the blue adding that the President calls the home phone.
