Kanye West recently made one of his maybe-he-has-a-point-but-why-does-he-have-to-say-that statements on On Air With Ryan Seacrest comparing Kim Kardashian to Michelle Obama. His actual words were:

“No one is looking at what [the president] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [sexy swimsuit] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.”

And when Kim landed the cover of CR Fashion Book, the “New Slaves” rapper saw it as a breakthrough. “[Former French Vogue editor] Carine Roitfeld supports my girl. That’s a breakthrough. There’s a wall of classism that we are breaking through.”

Now here’s the thing–Kanye is right. FLOTUS would never Instagram a photo of herself in a swimsuit. This is a woman that has no need to be thirsty. Classism, yes. Michelle is classier than that!

Last we checked, the blinded by love Kanye (ever the loyal baby daddy) has begged for Kim to be on the cover of VOGUE as well as begged the powers that be to give her a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. President Obama would never have to do any of these things on Michelle Obama’s behalf because…well, the obvious–they are the First Couple! There is no comparison, Mr. West.

When is the last time you said to yourself, “Man, what is Kim Kardashian wearing?” Well…maybe it was when she decided that this was a good idea:

To Kanye’s point, no one is watching what the President is wearing because we’re more concerned with what he’s doing with the Affordable Care Act oh and other things like, I don’t know…running a country. Remember when President Obama called Yeezy a “jackass?” Yeah, that was a moment in time. Seems appropriate now.

Kim Kardashian and Michelle Obama are on two different playing fields altogether. There was a time when Kim wanted nothing more than to be Beyonce’s BFF, but King Bey made it clear that that was never going to be a thing. But the love affair that Michelle Obama and Beyonce share must make the fame-craver’s blood boil. Kanye loves to defend his girl, so maybe his statement on Ryan Seacrest’s show was to let the world know that Michelle Obama ain’t got nothin’ on his woman? Hey–it doesn’t make sense to us either! We’re just reporting the news.
