LMAO! Barack Obama comes after Kanye West after claims that "The President personally calls His Home"

Barack Obama did not call Kanye West at home - despite the rapper's claims to the contrary- but a presidential staffer did ring to set up a future chat, sources have claimed.

The back-and-forth began a couple of weeks ago, when Kanye boasted about his close relationship with the most powerful man in the world during a speech at Oxford University.

Kanye, who is married to Kim Kardashian, claimed that Mr Obama would call him at home, and he would call Obama 'out of the blue'.

Obama calls the home phone by the way,' he added.

Last week, Mr Obama was forced to deny the claims during an appearance on chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying he didn't even have Kanye's home number.

When asked about Kanye's claims about their friendship, he replied: 'I met Kanye twice.

'The first time was when I was a senator and he was with his mom and he had just gotten big… And then about six months ago he came to an event. I love his music.'

I don't think I've got his home number.'

But Kanye refused to back down, and made the bizarre assertion again when questioned by a TMZ reporter at LAX Airport

Despite Mr Obama's flat-out denial, the outspoken rapper still insisted that he would contact him at home.

'I love Obama, he called our house before,' he claimed.

'He knows that, don't try and pit us against each other.'

Now the truth appears to have finally been revealed after sources close Kanye said a presidential staffer had contacted the West home to set up a potential future chat with Mr Obama.

A source told TMZ that the president had attended a celebrity- filled breakfast in Beverly Hills last October where he spoke about using star power to get people to vote. 

 The rate at which Kanye seeks attention these days ehn!...#loosingpopularitythings #insecurity
