Kanye West seems strangely intend on actually running for the White House in 2020 – and now the current US President has weighed in on the rapper's political aspirations.

"It couldn’t get any stranger," Barack Obama playfully told a crowd of Democratic donors in San Francisco on Saturday.

It was a fundraiser that Mr West himself headlined, with his wife Kim also being spotted among the revellers.

And Ms Kardashian made sure to send the President a couple of gifts once the event had wrapped up.

"Special delivery," she captioned an Instagram snap depicting two pairs of Kanye's trainers – the original Yeezy Boost 350, along with the boot-style Yeezy Boost 750 – which had been ear-marked for the President.

Both styles retail for a few hundred euro each.

Mr Obama had earlier in the day leant some invaluable advice to the multi Grammy award-winner – so perhaps Kim felt she owed Barack a favour. 

"In case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing – or as he calls it, 'peezy' – I do have some advice for him," Mr Obama had told the gathering.

"First of all, you have to spend some time dealing with some strange characters who act like they're on a reality TV show. You gotta be cool with that.

"Second important tip: Saying you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy – that's what's known as off message in politics," he furthermore stated. 

"And number three: Do you really think this country's going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the US? That’s crazy. Cray."

Of course, both Mr Obama and Mr West both hail from Chicago's south side.

To people who have no interest in the latest Yeezy Boost 350 runners, queuing overnight for a pair of shoes probably sounds like absolute madness. But to Yeezy fans, it's just a normal day.

As the second edition of the highly covered runners go on sale tomorrow morning the 22nd of August at 9am, people are queuing up patiently outside BT2 on Grafton Street, Dublin.

With only 26 pairs of the shoes going on sale in store, people began queuing extremely early to make sure they had a good chance of getting their hands on a pair. 

At lunch time today, there were 14 people already in the queue. We spoke to some of them who were waiting and they told SHEmazing! that chances were slim of getting a pair in the right size, or at all. 

"There's fourteen of us in the queue now and most of us are looking for the same sizes. I want a size ten and so does he and a few of the other lads," one dedicated Yeezy fan said.

Kanye West's shoe design has gained a seriously huge amount of popularity the world over, with similar scenes occurring when the first edition runners went on sale earlier this year.

In London queues began as early as last Sunday for the shoes being released tomorrow. The "mocassin style" trainers are said to "transcend current trainer trends," and of course adding Kanye's name to the mix helps Adidas a bit too.

If however you can't give up 24 hours to queue for the footwear, don't worry, Mr. West insists everyone will get their hands on a pair eventually, they may just have to wait.

"I just wanna make sure we keep it safe. I've heard about people getting hurt over sneaker culture.. Just be patient, we'll make more Yeezys," he promised. "Eventually everyone who wants Yeezys will get them. I talked to the heads of Adidas."

Thanks Kanye!
