WATCH: Barack Obama Gives Advice To Kanye On His Presidential Run

Kanye West‘s 2020 presidential run is still very much a thing all these weeks on from the MTV VMAs, and everyone from Taylor Swift to Hillary Clinton has given their blessing to #Kanye2020.

Over the weekend, though, the campaign may have peaked, as none other than Barack Obama weighed in, giving some advice “in case Kanye’s serious about this whole POTUS thing … or as he calls it Peezy.” 

Obama was speaking at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, where Yeezy was later slated to perform, and he offered some tips that were pretty well spot-on. His first two were fairly practical:
“First of all, you gotta spend some time dealing with some strange characters who behave like they’re on a reality TV show. So you’ve gotta be cool with that.”

“Second, this is the second important tip: 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. A lot of people have lost their congressional seats saying things like that. You don’t do that.”
His third got the crowd cheering:
“Do you really think that this country’s gonna 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!”
