Malia and Sasha Obama, now young adults, are no strangers to living in the public eye. Having grown up in the White House, the daughters of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were often under the media microscope. However, as they have grown older, both Malia and Sasha have embraced their independence, and it’s clear they’re living life on their own terms. Recently, the two were spotted enjoying a night out at a Hollywood hotspot with Canadian rapper Drake, showing that they know how to have fun while keeping things low-key.
A Glimpse into the Obamas’ Growing Daughters
Since their early years in the White House, Malia and Sasha have had to learn how to handle the pressures of living in the spotlight. Michelle Obama once shared in an interview that raising them to be confident, smart, and independent was a priority, as she knew they wouldn’t live under her roof forever. Despite the luxury of living in the White House, Michelle was determined to make sure they were prepared for the world beyond it.

Malia’s Journey to Independence
Malia Obama, born in 1998, was always in the public eye from a young age. After graduating high school in 2016, Malia took a gap year before heading to Harvard University. During her time off, she worked in the entertainment industry, gaining valuable experience as a production assistant on the CBS sci-fi series Extant, and later working as a writer on the Amazon series Swarm. In 2024, Malia made her debut as a writer and director at the Sundance Film Festival with Heart, a short film that highlighted her creative talent.
Sasha’s Path to University and Beyond
Sasha, born in 2001, has followed her own path as well. Known for her vibrant energy and sense of humor, Sasha attended the University of Michigan before transferring to the University of Southern California, where she graduated with a degree in sociology in May 2023. Despite being in the public eye, Sasha has managed to carve out her own space, enjoying her life while staying relatively private.
Now living together in Los Angeles, Malia and Sasha have formed a close bond. Michelle Obama has expressed how happy she is to see her daughters finding comfort and support in one another, especially after all the challenges they faced growing up in the spotlight.

Partying with Drake in Hollywood
Recently, Malia and Sasha were seen partying at The Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles, where they shared the night with rapper Drake. The two sisters were dressed in stylish, revealing outfits perfect for a night out in Hollywood. Sasha wore a black cropped corset paired with low-slung cargo pants and slouchy shoes, while Malia opted for a sheer lace-up top with high-waisted printed trousers. Both looked radiant, enjoying the freedom of being out together.
Reports suggest the sisters partied until 4 a.m., showing they know how to let loose while staying connected to their roots and each other.
Drake’s Connection with the Obamas
Drake and the Obamas have a longstanding mutual admiration. The rapper has previously expressed his interest in portraying Barack Obama in a potential biopic, a suggestion that was warmly received by the former president. Barack once said, “Drake seems to be able to do anything he wants… he’s a talented, talented brother.” He even mentioned that Malia and Sasha would likely approve of Drake playing their father in a movie, further cementing the rapper’s connection to the family.
Drake was in Los Angeles for his “It’s All A Blur Big As The What?” tour at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center), which is where he and the Obamas’ daughters were seen together. It’s clear that the bond between the Obamas and Drake goes beyond music, with the rapper holding a special place in their lives.
