Does Barack Obama Support His Daughter Malia’s Budding Hollywood Career?

Malia Obama’s contribution to “Swarm” is subtly listed under the name “Malia Ann,” notably leaving out her unique and popular last name. This only added to the intrigue and speculations concerning her contributions. Did she leave out her last name upon her father’s request? This seems very unlikely as Barack clearly told Hasan Minhaj that he is a fan of “Atlanta,” a comedic Afro-surrealism series by Donald Glover, who also directed the first episode of “Swarm.”

The politician also clarified that he tuned in because he valued his daughter’s hard work on the series, explaining, “I watched it because my daughter worked on it. So, of course, I’ve got to watch it.” While it’s unclear exactly which elements of the story she’s contributed to, no doubt her unique perspective has made her a valuable asset in the writers’ room. 

When Hasan Minhaj pressed further, inquiring about if the former President was okay with the graphic sex scene, he had a clear response: “Look, if what you are suggesting is that there are aspects of that show that I found a little disturbing… That’s the nature of art these days, you know.”
