A few years after Barack Obama joked that Drake could play him in a biopic, the rapper ended up sharing a very different moment with the former president’s daughters. One night in Los Angeles, Drake was spotted partying with Malia and Sasha Obama—two women who have long since stepped out of the shadow of the White House and into their own adult lives.
The internet erupted when the photos surfaced. It was a striking reminder that the little girls who once entered 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in bright coats are now grown women with their own careers, apartments, and social lives.
Malia, born in 1998, has become a rising filmmaker. After time on film sets, she graduated from Harvard and premiered her short film Heart at Sundance under the name Malia Ann. Sasha, born in 2001, found her path in Los Angeles too, earning a sociology degree from USC and building her own life with her trademark humor and confidence. The sisters now share a home—something Michelle Obama says brings her peace.
Recently, they were seen at The Bird Streets Club, one of Hollywood’s top nightlife spots. Drake, performing nearby on tour, was also there. Witnesses saw them laughing and dancing with friends in a small VIP area—simply young adults enjoying themselves.
Sasha wore a cropped black corset with cargo pants, while Malia stepped out in a lace-up top and printed trousers. They reportedly stayed until around 4 a.m., leaving after Drake slipped out a side exit. Online reactions ranged from shock to admiration, but most people were simply glad to see the sisters living freely after a childhood spent under national scrutiny.
Drake’s connection to the Obamas isn’t new—he once expressed interest in playing Barack in a future biopic. Obama later joked that Drake “can do anything he wants” and that his daughters “would be fine with it.” That comment resurfaced quickly after the club photos went viral.
But the story isn’t really about celebrity gossip. It’s about two young women finally shaping their own identities, far from politics and public expectations. They are adults now—complex, independent, and unapologetically themselves.
Barack Obama once said raising his daughters was the greatest honor of his life. Nights like this show that he and Michelle raised not just daughters, but women who know how to stand confidently in their own lives—exactly as they choose.
