Years after Barack Obama once joked that Drake is “able to do anything he wants,” the Canadian rapper was spotted at a celebrity after-party alongside the former first daughters.
Malia and Sasha, now all grown up, have spent their lives in the public eye since their years in the White House (2009–2017), where they had to balance fame, scrutiny, and a desire for normal teenage lives. Michelle Obama has previously spoken about how important it was for them to grow into independent, confident young women despite living under constant attention.
Malia, born in 1998, went on to attend Harvard University after taking a gap year. She later explored work in the entertainment industry, including production and writing roles, and in 2024 debuted her own short film under the name Malia Ann.
Sasha, born in 2001, studied at the University of Michigan before transferring and graduating from the University of Southern California in sociology in 2023.
The two sisters are now based in Los Angeles and are often seen together enjoying life outside the spotlight. According to reports, they were spotted at The Bird Streets Club, where they spent the night at Drake’s after-party, dressed in stylish night-out outfits.
Drake himself has long shown admiration for Barack Obama, even saying he would be interested in portraying him in a film. Barack Obama once praised Drake’s talent, noting that he had his family’s “stamp of approval.”
The sighting quickly went viral online, with fans sharing mixed reactions and plenty of comments about the unexpected crossover between political royalty and rap stardom.
