Kanye West has slammed US President Barack Obama.
The 'Bound 2' rapper hit out at the Commander-in-Chief, insisting he can't do anything to "effect change" without "money" - though he then went on to proclaim "genius" to be "extremely cheap".
Asked about the president in an interview with Power106FM, he ranted: "You can't effect change from inside the White House like that ...You gotta have the money.
"Good ideas usually aren't connected to money as much ...Creativity and extreme genius are extremely cheap."
Kanye - who has 12-month-old daughter North with wife Kim Kardashian - then went on to warn his critics not to slam him as he is on a "mission from God".
He said: "Don't worry about how I'm saying what I'm saying. Look at what I'm saying and how I feel my intent is.
"You do not want to go against the power. I'm working on one mission, and that's a mission from God.
"I'm gonna make it very clear exactly what I'm here to do. I'm here to help. I'm going to apply all the blessings I've got.
"We're moving to the future. [And] I'm gonna be the anchor."
Just last November, Kanye vowed never to mention the president again as he felt the politician - who has criticised the rapper on a number of occasions - was using his name to be "down" with young people.
He said: ''I just think that we're pop icons, and the president likes to use that type of thing just to be down.
''People were fine with me being everyone's punching bag for about five years - 'This is the person we love to hate, so if you want to distract people from everything that's going on... just say you hate Kanye and there's going be 30 other people who say they hate Kanye.'
''I'm not going to mention him anymore, I'm past that, that's out my thoughts. That's lowering my priority of thinking at this point.''
Obama previously spoke out about the 'New Slaves' hitmaker to urge young people not to look to the wealth of the rapper and his now-wife as an example of success, and branded him a ''jackass'' after he interrupted Taylor Swift's 2009 MTV Music Awards acceptance speech.

Cindy Crawford's daughter has a crush on Harry Styles.
The 48-year-old supermodel's eldest child Kaia, 12, made her modelling debut for Versace two years ago and though the American beauty - who also has 14-year-old son Presley with husband Rande Gerber - will help her daughter "navigate" the fashion industry if she decides to follow in her mother's career path, she says the youngster is currently more interested in other things.
She said: "[Versace] was a one-off thing. She had fun. She's 12. We'll see what happens. I can at least help her navigate it. She's more interested in singing and dancing. Right now she's interested in Harry Styles."
While Cindy is comfortable with getting older, she admits she envies her daughter's legs.
She told USA Today newspaper: "I look at my 12-year-old daughter. She has my legs. I told her that I want my legs back."
Meanwhile, Cindy heaped praise on her close friend George Clooney's fiancee Amal Alamuddin, describing her as "lovely" but insisted that, despite reports they will wed in Italy in September, no details have been finalised yet.
Asked whether she could reveal the date and location of the wedding, she said: "I actually don't know yet."

Victoria Beckham carries crystals to bring her luck at her fashion shows.
The 40-year-old fashion designer has a number of superstitious rituals, including carrying Pink Quartz and Black Tourmaline precious stones while backstage at her catwalk shows.
Speaking to students at a Singapore art college, she said: "If I told you my backstage rituals, and was honest you would think I was a little weird. I carry my crystals with me which some people might think as odd but it works for us."
Victoria - who lives in London with her former soccer star husband David Beckham and their children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, and two-year-old Harper - runs her self-named fashion brand out of New York and admits that while she's enjoying her success, she still worries about bad omens.
She said: "New York works and my team are happy there. We have a great set up there. We go to the same hotel. But I am quite superstitious. I don't walk underneath ladders. And if I see magpies I do the salute thing."
According to an urban myth, magpies are said to bring bad luck and fate believers say that in order to reverse it you must salute the birds and wish them a "good morning".
Meanwhile, crystals - which are also carried by stars including Madonna, Katy Perry and Angelina Jolie - are believed to have a number of healing properties, although there's been no scientific evidence to support the claim.

Gerry Goffin has died aged 75.
The songwriter, who penned worldwide hits such as 'The Loco-Motion' and '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman' with ex-wife Carole King, passed away at his home in Los Angeles from natural causes on Wednesday (18.06.14).
Carole paid tribute to her former husband and lyrical partner in a statement, saying: "Gerry Goffin was my first love. He had a profound impact on my life and the rest of the world. Gerry was a good man and a dynamic force, whose words and creative influence will resonate for generations to come.
"His legacy to me is our two daughters, four grandchildren, and our songs that have touched millions and millions of people, as well as a lifelong friendship. He will be missed by his wonderful wife Michele, his devoted manager, Christine Russell, his five children, and six grandchildren.
"His words expressed what so many people were feeling but didn't know how to say. If you want to join his loved ones in honouring him, look at the names of the songwriters under the titles of songs. Among the titles associated with me, you'll often find Gerry's name next to mine."
Gerry and Carole wed in 1959, when he was 20 and she was 17, and began songwriting together, penning hits such as 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow?' for The Shirelles and 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' for The Monkees.
The couple divorced in 1968 and Gerry later married Michele Goffin, who survives him.
After splitting from Carole both professionally and personally, the songwriter continued to enjoy success by co-writing songs such as 'Saving All My Love for You', which performed by the late Whitney Houston.

Metallica will release a new song today (20.06.14) ahead of their headline set at Glastonbury festival.
The 'Enter Sandman' band, who will be the first heavy metal act to top the bill at Worthy Farm next week, have released 'Lords of Summer - First Pass Version' via Blackened Recordings, which the group first debuted in March at a concert at Parque Simon Bolivar in Bogotá, Colombia.
The new recording clocks in at eight minutes and 20 seconds and recalls the group's thrashier '80s offerings, with a fiery solo from lead guitarist Kirk Hammett.
The band's drummer Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone that the song is "fairly representative of where our creative head space is at right now."
It is not yet known if the track, which is their first new material in six years, will be included on Metallica's next album, the follow-up to 2008's 'Death Magnetic' album.
Footage shot by a member of the audience in Colombia saw the song posted online and it was shared between fans before Metallica put out a "garage demo version".
A post on the band's official Facebook page in March revealed the group's plan to unveil a new track.
A picture of all four members of the band - frontman James Hetfield, plus Rob Trujillo, Lars and Kirk - was accompanied by the caption: "Working out the kinks in the new song that we'll be debuting in South America in a couple days."
Earlier this year, Metallica guitarist Kirk said that the band "have to" start working on their next album.
When asked if the record would likely be released next year, Kirk replied: "I'm f***ing up for it, man."

Ben Affleck could star in his own standalone 'Batman' movie. The 'Argo' actor has reportedly landed his own solo outing set for 2019, which Warner Bros. is lining up to follow on from 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice' in 2016 and 'The Justice Leag...

Matt Damon will reportedly return for 'Bourne 5'.
The 43-year-old star is said to be in talks to reprise his role as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne following his departure from the series - which is based on Robert Ludlum's books of the same names - after the third Paul Greengrass directed film, 'The Bourne Ultimatum', in 2007.
Damon claimed earlier this year that he wouldn't return to the series unless Greengrass returned as director, saying at the time: "I've always been open to it if Paul Greengrass is the director."
However, with Bourne 5's release date being delayed until July 15, 2016 the Latino Review has reported that it's because Damon has agreed to return to his signature role under the direction of 'Fast and Furious' filmmaker Justin Lin.
Earlier this year, Universal hired 'Sherlock Holmes' scribe Anthony Peckham to write a script for the new 'Bourne' film.
In 2012 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' actor Jeremy Renner took over the franchise as agent Aaron Cross, alongside Rachel Weisz as a black ops agent.
Damon also starred as Jason Bourne in 2002's 'The Bourne Identity' and in 2004's 'The Bourne Supremacy'.

Britain's Duchess Catherine has urged people to support children's hospices.
The 32-year-old duchess - who has 10-month-old son Prince George with husband Prince William - made a low-key visit to East Anglia's Children's Hospices' Treehouse (EACH) in Ipswich in her role of patron of the organisation during Children's Hospice Week this week, and met with volunteers and patients.
And Catherine said being patron allowed her to see how important the "remarkable" facilities are.
She said: "Around the clock support is crucial for children receiving palliative care. They and their families often need help every hour of every day, both in hospices and at home.
"As patron of EACH I have seen first-hand this remarkable and varied work and just how vital the support of staff and volunteers can be to the families of children with life limiting conditions.
"It has been wonderful to see the fantastic public support for Children's Hospice Week over the last few days.
"Please continue supporting your local children's hospice in whatever way you can."
Meanwhile, executives at EACH praised Catherine for being a "very active" patron of the organisation.
Graham Butland, chief executive of EACH, said: "As our Royal Patron, Her Royal Highness has really helped put children's hospice services in the UK at the forefront of people's minds and allowed us to demonstrate the full and flexible range of services families can benefit from 24/7.
"The very active role the duchess plays, both publicly and in private, is considerable and much appreciated by our staff, volunteers and of course the children, young people and families using our services."

Selena Gomez feels "pressure" to behave in a certain way.
The 21-year-old singer-and-actress - who began her career when she was just 10 years old - admits she hasn't already been guided in the right way by her advisers.
She said: "[I'm] surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me -- and some of them have and others haven't. They pressure me, [saying] 'You gotta be sexy, you gotta be cute, you gotta be nice, you gotta be all these things."
The 'Spring Breakers' actress - who recently rekindled her romance with Justin Bieber - is "obsessed" with her work but admits there are some aspects of life in the public eye she dislikes, though she would never complain about her position.
In an interview with ABC News, she said: "I have people saying 'Have fun!' You know, like be able to just enjoy where I am.
"But I want to do a lot, though. I love what I do. I'm obsessed with what I do.
"I've always loved my life. I think there are certain parts of my life I wish I could have to myself and things I could do and grow and experience. But it would almost be just hypocritical of me if I complained about it. I think it's silly sometimes what happens, but I love what I do and I guess I gotta deal with it."

Kate Moss' husband gets "separation anxiety" when they're apart.
Jamie Hince, the supermodel's spouse of nearly three years, admits he hates being away from his wife when he has to go on tour with his rock band, The Kills, or when she's jetting around the globe on modelling assignments.
He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "My wife is very much my sidekick, so I tend to get separation anxiety when I'm away from her."
Jamie, 45, says "missing my family" is the hardest part of touring with his band as he can't bear to be away from Kate, 40, her daughter Lila, 11, and their pet dog Archie for too long.
Speaking about the beloved pooch, he gushed: "He came from the deepest, wildest countryside in Italy. He was almost feral. I should've gotten a shelter dog, I know. But Archie was born, he was there and he needed me, so I adopted him."
The musician also opened up about a brutal hand injury that has threatened to end his guitar-playing.
Jamie - who had to completely retrain himself to play his prized instrument - explained: "It's taken its toll on my other fingers and I'm in pain quite a lot after shows. That's my least favourite part of touring now - the physical pain, and missing my family."

Louis Tomlinson wants advice from Sir Elton John after buying his hometown soccer club Doncaster Rovers.
The One Direction hunk, who has gone into business with former chairman John Ryan, admits he needs to "mature a little bit" and is looking to speak to the 'Rocket Man' hitmaker, who became chairman of Watford FC in 1976, to get tips on his new role.
Louis told The Sun newspaper: "I had thought about seeking his advice - but how on earth do you get in touch with Elton John? I don't know. Hopefully this will send the message out!"
The 22-year-old star feels he'll need to start acting "dead serious" and stop being childish, after he was filmed apparently smoking a marijuana-laced cigarette in Peru with bandmate Zayn Malik recently.
He said: "I can't be a big kid any more or play pranks. I am absolutely going to be very involved in the club.
"I will be committing a lot of time to it. I've said that I want to be across absolutely everything.
"I'll definitely be going to board meetings, which is ridiculous, but I guess I am a businessman now."
The pop star asked fellow bandmates Zayn, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Payne for their blessing before buying the club and dreams of the League One side getting to the Premier League.
Louis recalled: "I said, 'Look boys, I'm going to do this. Do any of you have a problem with it?' All the boys were super-supportive - especially Niall, who is very, very excited.
"I know there will be a few eyebrows raised about me doing this. But hopefully the results go a certain way and we'll create a successful club."
The young star joked that his only experience is playing soccer video games but insists he's up for the challenge and thinks he has what it takes to help the club.
He said: "I still play Football Manager, actually - I absolutely love it! But it's like playing the game for real now."
Louis, who is worth around £14 million, and John, who is a plastic surgery tycoon, have launched a £2 million crowdfunder campaign to ask for help from fans and supporters and will also put their own money into supporting the side.
