TMZ got their hands on the full audio of Obama’s exchange about Kanye West. During an interview on Monday, President Obama called Kanye West a “jackass” regarding his storming the stage and snatching the mic from Taylor Swift during her speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Q: No that worked out well for you. You were a ninja.
