A mysterious new photo appearing to show U.S. President Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia Obama, wearing a hip-hop group's T-shirt is going viral.
Posted on social media Sunday, the picture features the 16-year-old in a
white shirt emblazoned with the logo of Brooklyn-based collective Pro
Era:
Malia Obama is seen with both arms behind her head, double ear
piercings, a ponytail and a wide-mouthed expression that is neither a
frown nor a smile.
While the image's exact origins and authenticity remain unknown, a
member of the hip hop group confirmed that it had been sent by an Obama
friend.
Pro Era founder Joey Bada$$ said through a rep that Pro Era had
received the snapshot from "a mutual friend of Malia and the Pro Era
member."
Public interest in the First Daughter has risen in the past year as she
and her 13-year-old younger sister Sasha continue to display more
personality.
Back in August, a rare selfie of Malia Obama showed the First Daughter
at a Chance the Rapper show at the Lollapalooza music festival in
Chicago.
More recently, the two siblings joined their parents for a family
vacation in Hawaii, where they disembarked Air Force One looking really
grown up.
"One child is going to be driving this summer," First Lady Michelle
Obama recently said of how quickly time passes when you're a parent.
"Look out!"
"My youngest loves dancing. She dances in an organized program several
times a week, but they’re into what kids are into," FLOTUS went on.
Apparently that includes Pro Era in Malia's case. What do you think of
the pic?
Would anyone care if it weren't the First Daughter? Should
they? Discuss.
