Kim Kardashian Reveals She Once Did Karaoke With Barack Obama
In spite of the circle of notable musicians in her orbit, including husband and rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian has all but moved on from her one-time budding music career in favor of sticking with her wildly successful reality television series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” But it seems the 36-year-old owner of KKW Beauty still dabbles in activities of the singing variety — most notably, she revealed this week, with former President Barack Obama.
In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter for Kardashian family cover story, the daughters of momager and matriarch Kris Jenner shared their most recent karaoke outing moments. While she's only done it one time, Kardashian revealed it was “so cool.”
“I've done karaoke one time,” she said. “I could never sing, but it was so cool. It was with Obama, Kanye, and like, maybe 15 people.”
As Harper’s Bazaar pointed out, Kardashian failed to mention any further details, such as who the unnamed “15 people” were and what song the former president chose to sing.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kardashian seemingly slighted President Donald Trump for his handling of international affairs. Asked by the magazine of her first order of business if she were president, Kardashian kept her answer brief.
“I would definitely not piss off all countries, like what’s going on now,” she said.
Kardashian has been an outspoken critic of several of the positions and policies of the president, with her most severe condemnation having been of Trump’s decision to repeal an Obama-era rule that aimed to block the sale of guns to certain mentally ill people earlier this year.
Kardashian, herself a victim of gun violence after being robbed at her Paris apartment on Oct. 3, 2016, penned a heartfelt plea on her app in June for stricter gun control laws in the United States.
“It’s been 18 years since Columbine, 10 years since Virginia Tech, four years since Newtown and we’re coming up on the one-year anniversary of the Orlando nightclub shooting,” she said. “In almost 20 years, our country has made very little progress in enacting laws that would help protect innocent Americans from people who should not have access to firearms.”
She added, “Right now, there are more guns owned by civilians in this country than in any other country in the world. In February of this year, President Trump actually signed a bill revoking a regulation recommended by President Obama that would have added 75,000 names of people with registered mental illnesses to a national background check database. This is crazy!”
Sharing an Instagram of her family meeting Obama in January — shortly before Trump began his tenure in the White House — Kardashian captioned the image, “Thank you Mr. President. You will be missed!”
