Newly rehabilitated, to say the least, rapper/producer extraordinaire Kanye West takes over the October 2010 cover and cover story of XXL magazine, where he discussed the remark made by President Obama after the 2009 MTV VMA incident involving Taylor Swift. In an off camera interview that was somehow still recorded, President Obama was caught calling Kanye a “jackass”, for interrupting Swift's acceptance speech.
“When Obama called me “jackass”, after the Taylor incident, I thought that the [wrong] person [had] to be speaking off the record,” Ye said in the interview. “Obama has way more important stuff to worry about than my public perception. He was trying to pass the healthcare bill. And if he said that to relate to the room or lighten the room up and the whole mood, then I'd be more than happy to be the butt of all of his jokes if it in the some way helps his overall mission. I'm a soldier of culture. I'm resilient. I'm sure I'll still beat him in basketball.”
