It's one of the more tantalizing claims of the summer. ...

According to Rapper Kanye West, he and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) George Tenet are buds and spend time together.

On his new compilation album, "Kanye West Presents G.O.O.D. Music: Cruel Summer," in the track "Clique," Kanye spits rhymes in which he talks about spending time the second-longest-serving director in agency history.

"Yeah, I'm talking business, we talking CIA/ I'm talking George Tenet, I seen him the other day/ He asked me about my Maybach, think he had the same/ Except mine tinted and his might have been rented," Kanye raps.

The thing is: George's people confirmed that Kanye's lyrics are somewhat true — with a touch of poetic license, of course.

It seems that a while back, George and Kanye "bumped into each other" in New York and "chatted briefly." There was no discussion of the uber-expensive luxury Maybach cars and the one brief encounter was the full extent of the duo's relationship.

We totally wish these two really were bros.

But, we'll settle for this brief bit of awesome music trivia.
