A few years after Barack Obama famously said Drake \u201ccan do anything he wants,\u201d the Canadian rapper was recently spotted partying alongside the former first daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama. The sisters, now adults, were enjoying a night out at a Hollywood hotspot, embracing their independence and making headlines in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life in the White House came with constant scrutiny for Malia (born July 4, 1998) and Sasha (born June 10, 2001). From 2009 to 2017, the daughters of Barack and Michelle Obama were under the world\u2019s watchful eye, learning early how to balance privacy with public life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle Obama shared on the Moments That Make Us podcast, \u201cThey had to be smart, confident, and independent straight away, even with butlers, maids, and florists around. I raised them knowing one day they\u2019d have to manage their own lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barack also recalls the first time he saw Malia in heels: \u201cIt\u2019s a little jarring seeing your daughter all grown up. She\u2019s lovely. She\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malia\u2019s Journey
After graduating high school in 2016, Malia took a gap year to explore the entertainment industry, working as a production assistant on Halle Berry\u2019s CBS sci-fi series Extant and contributing as a writer to Amazon\u2019s Swarm. In 2021, she graduated from Harvard University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sasha Finds Her Path
Sasha, described by Barack as \u201cthe comedian of the family,\u201d graduated high school in 2019 and began her studies at the University of Michigan during the Covid pandemic. She earned her sociology degree from the University of Southern California in May 2023.Family games<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sisters now share a home in Los Angeles, supporting each other as they navigate adulthood. Michelle Obama said, \u201cIt feels good to know that the two girls you raised find solace at a kitchen table with one another. It\u2019s the one thing you want for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All Grown Up and Out on the Town
Malia and Sasha\u2019s recent night out with Drake at The Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles captured the attention of fans everywhere. Both sisters showed off their bold, stylish looks: Sasha in a black cropped corset and cargo pants, and Malia in a sheer lace-up top with high-waisted printed trousers. The pair partied with friends until 4 a.m., embracing their freedom and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drake, who was in town for his \u201cIt\u2019s All A Blur Big As The What?\u201d tour, shares mutual admiration with the Obamas. He even expressed interest in portraying Barack in a biopic\u2014a concept the former president playfully endorsed, noting, \u201cDrake seems to be able to do anything he wants\u2026 I suspect Malia and Sasha would be just fine with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
