President Barack Obama has offered Kanye West some tongue-in-cheek advice for saying he is planning to run for the White House in 2020. "In case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing - or as he calls it, 'peezy' - I do have some advice for him," Mr Obama joked during a fundraising event in San Francisco at which the rapper was scheduled to perform. The President offered three tips for the would-be candidate. "First of all, you've got to spend a lot of time dealing with some strange characters who behave like they're on a reality TV show. So you've just to be cool with that." The second piece of advice made reference to a popular West album: "Saying that you have a 'Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' - that's what's known as 'off-message' in politics. You can't say something like that."
And the final number three poked fun at Chicago's south side, where both men have lived: "Do you really think that this country is going to elect a black guy from the south side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the United States? "That is crazy. That's cray!" West, 38, announced his ambitions for the White House when he gave a rambling speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in August. Most people had written off his remarks as a joke, yet in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine last month, West said he would "definitely" go ahead with his plans.
