Most specifically, the gay fish Mr. West has compared Kim Kardashian to FLOTUS Michelle Obama in a recent interview and it’s got everybody giving him the side-eye!

VIDEO: Kanye West Compares Kim K to Michelle Obama on Ryan Seacrest Show
West expressed his love for his baby mama during Seacrest’s radio show, arguing that she’s way more influential than Michelle Obama and deserves her chance to cover Vogue magazine.

“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,” he told Ryan Seacrest Tuesday morning.
“And collectively, we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [President Barack Obama] is wearing,” he said. “Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.” (source)
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour passed Kim over for a coveted cover earlier this year and Kanye’s still not happy about it. He’s also still insulted that the high-profile fashion magazine cut Kim out of a photo featuring him at the MET Costume Gala earlier this year.
Whatever the case, it seems that Kanye is on a mission to force the ‘real’ world to accept his baby mama/future ex-wife as celeb royalty (good luck with that).
