Barack Obama has described Kanye West as a “jackass” after the rapper’s outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The US president made the uncharacteristically blunt remark during an interview with CNBC, the US business news network, on Monday.

In an contrite appearance on the Jay Leno show last night, he said that he planned to apologise to the Swift in person and said he was going to take some time off from the music industry.
