Kanye West called President Biden “f–cking retarded” on Wednesday while blasting the commander-in-chief for not taking advice from Elon Musk.

The rapper made the remark in an interview with Piers Morgan while claiming he can use the crude term because he has “mental health issues.”

“The President of the United States does not have meetings with Elon Musk. That is f–king — Hey, here, come, come get me — That’s f–king retarded. I know I’m not supposed to say that Biden, but that’s fucking retarded, Biden,” West said.

He also spoke about the need for the “1 percent” to come together to achieve world peace. To prove his point, West used the “obvious” example of the President not “listening” to the Tesla founder.

The infamous rapper has been explicit about his struggles with bipolar disorder.

Morgan warned West that his inflammatory comments will “offend a lot of people,” particularly those who work in the mental health field, but West did not appear fazed.

In the same interview, West refused to apologize for tweeting he plans on “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” though admitted he was sorry for hurting people who were confused with his statements. Musk reportedly spoke with buddy West about the vile, since-deleted Tweet.

Morgan applauded West for having the “self-awareness” to admit that he “crossed a line” with the Tweet.
