President Obama appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last Thursday and along with taking part in the late night host's traditional "Mean Tweets" segment, he told a short story about him meeting Kanye West years ago.

When asked about Kanye's statement on how the two frequently talk on the phone, the president responded:

"I've met Kanye twice. The first time was when I was a senator and he was with his mom. He'd just gotten big. He's from Chicago, so they wanted to meet, and he was very soft-spoken and very gracious. He was a young guy, and hadn't quite come into his own. And about six months ago, he came to an event and, look, I love his music and he's incredibly creative. I don't think I've got his home number. I do love his music, though. He's terrific."

Kanye refuted the statement Obama made when he was later approached by TMZ about it. He stood by his statement and amicably responded that Obama does indeed have his home number and that he knows that.

Fans are all aware of West's immense ego, so it pulls into question if he was possibly fabricating the relationship he holds with president.

However, some feel that Obama could have possibly been covering his relationship with the artist to avoid scrutiny.
