US President Barack Obama pokes fun at rapper Kanye West, says he's ''a guy who I hear has been talking about launching a potential political career.''
At the end of a rambling speech at the MTV Video Music Awards show in Los Angeles last August, West, who is married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian, announced that he planned to run for US presidency in 2020. Grammy-winning West,38, also noted in an interview aired on September 24 that he has "a lot of growing up to do" before then.
