Kanye West Says Kim Kardashian is More Influential than Michelle Obama, Slams First Lady

The famous rapper campaigned for Kim Kardashian's image once again, and this time, West says that the reality star is more influential than the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.

In a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, West exclaimed how much influence his girl, Kim Kardashian has on people around the globe. The "Yeezus" singer even suggested that Kim should shamelessly grace the cover of Vogue magazine, the most famous fashion magazine in the world.

"There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now. She's got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday," said Kanye to Seacrest, as reported by NY Daily News.

West further supported his claim by saying that his and Kim's collective fashion sense is always at the top of fashion critics' list. West is known to sport many designer brands, with his favorite Louis Vuitton, as well as Kim, whose closet is full of top notch designer items. Kanye even reiterated that even the President of the United States, Barack Obama, doesn't dress as well as him. Moreover, West says that no one can pull off or post the daring photo Kim released in her Instagram account, where the reality star is seen  wearing a white bathing suit that  heavily revealed her behind.

"And collectively, we're the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [President Barack Obama] is wearing," aggressively stated the rapper. "Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day."

This is not the first time that Kanye "campaigned" and "lifted" the image of his new fiancé. In a separate interview, the Grammy award-winning musician said that Kim should have her own star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, only to be blasted by the Walk of Fame spokesperson, Ana Martinez.

"We don't have a category for reality stars on the Walk of Fame. They're not giving a performance, it's just them going through their daily lives and rituals on TV," said the spokesperson in a statement.
