Why Sasha Obama Was Blasted For Having Fun With Friends In A TikTok Video As A Teen

When Sasha Obama and her buddies danced to the viral record “Adderall (Corvette Corvette)” by Popp Hunna, they joined thousands of others who have used part of the track in their short-form visuals. The popular song had over 19 million views on YouTube as of January 2024. However, many viewers pointed out the racy language in the song, which does not align with the Obama brand.

In the opening line, Hunna raps, “B***h! Corvette, Corvette. Hop in a motherf****n’ jet like that.” This part, in particular, is heard in the TikTok. Obama and company danced along to this line in the 15-second clip, with some of them mouthing the words to the single. Conservatives made it a point to take notice of its vulgar lyrics. However, several celebrities rushed to defend Obama against the backlash. Among those was Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Relating to Obama as a former White House daughter herself, Clinton slammed critics in a December 14, 2020 tweet, writing, “Sasha Obama is a private citizen who deserves her privacy full stop. Please leave her all the way alone.”
