Joe Rogan reiterates Barack Obama’s insult to Kanye West

The 55-year-old commentator-podcaster claims that Kanye West is not a bad person. Rogan is of the opinion that the 45-year-old rapper is very talented. He also mentions that ‘Ye’ has an illness that makes him controversial, but productive at making music. However, Kanye West once got insulted by the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. Rogan believes that this insult made him a Donald Trump supporter.

“I think part of the reason why he became a big Trump fan is because Obama called him a jacka**,” said Rogan. He added, “I really believe that. Because you gotta imagine having the President of the United States calling you a jacka**, and the first black president of the United States.”
