Kanye West performed at a Democratic National Committee event in San Francisco. Before he came out, President Barack Obama had some select words for ‘Ye regarding his upcoming presidential campaign, roasting Kanye about his political ambitions, album titles and Kardashian connections. Watch the POTUS’ speech above while footage from Kanye’s set can be found here and here.

That’s cray.”
