WH Reportedly Investigating Source of Photo That May or May Not Be Malia Obama
When this photo, which appears to be First Daughter Malia Obama, appeared on the Instagram account of hip hop collective Pro Era earlier this week, many chalked it up to nothing more than the normal behavior of a teenage girl. But since that teenage girl is the daughter of President Barack Obama, the White House apparently wants to know how the photo got out.
A representative for Pro Era rapper Joey Bada$$ told Gawker that the organization received the photo from “a mutual friend of Malia and the Pro Era member.” But according to a new report from Fox News, White House security is currently investigating its source, which we can only imagine means knocking on Malia’s door and asking, “Is this you, or what?”
Mediaite reached out to the White House for comment when the photo first appeared and did not receive a response. Neither did the Associated Press.
