Kanye West Disses Barack Obama: ‘You Can’t Effect Change’

From photographer AnnieLeibovitz to fellow rapper Jay-Z to President Obama — Kanye West is on a dissing streak right now! The rapper said he thinks the President "can't effect change from inside the White House" in a June 19 interview.
It's getting tough to keep up with everyone Kanye West, 37, is angry with these days. The rapper's latest diss was pointed directly at President Barack Obamaand his time in the White House. Kanye and the Prez have a shade-throwing history. One of their earliest beefs happened when President Obama called Kanye a "jackass" (twice!) in 2009 for crashing the stage while Taylor Swiftaccepted an MTV VMA — and they've both dissed each other multiple times since!

Kanye gave his most cutting — and confusing — diss to the POTUS on June 19. "You can't effect change from inside the White House like that …You gotta have the money," Kanye spilled when asked about President Obama in an interview with Power106 FM, according to Daily Mail. "Good ideas usually aren't connected to money as much …Creativity and extreme genius are extremely cheap." Huh?

"Don't worry about how I'm saying what I'm saying. Look at what I'm saying and how I feel my intent is," Kanye ranted. After dissing President Obama's lack of change during his two terms, Kanye (in true Kanye fashion) complimented himself. "You do not want to go against the power. I'm working on one mission, and that's a mission from God," Kanye explained. Right.
