Malia Obama Instagram Photo Leak: ‘Pro Era’ Post Gets 2.5K Likes In One Day


A photo of Malia Obama on Instagram traveled around the web on January 5, creating quite a bit of buzz. Only a day earlier, the photo of Malia was posted to the proera47 Instagram account.

Normally, the world is so used to seeing the poised and pretty daughters of President and First Lady Obama in their official turkey pardoning background mode or walking to and fro from planes and helicopters within the close-knit Obama Family circuit. Seeing a photo of Malia looking casual in a “Pro Era” t-shirt, long hair tousled, is kind of jarring. To see Malia as the unofficial spokesperson for “Pro Era” gear on Instagram leads one to believe that Mommy and Daddy Obama might not have known about this photo prior to it being shared on Instagram.

“Malia Obama rocking that classic Pro Era tee! | Make sure you get your official Pro Era gear from theproera.com!”

Well, that’s one very effective way for Pro Era to get a lot of attention for their Malia Obama Instagram photo and post and for a funny Gawker writer to call on Olivia Pope because of the Malia photo leak on “The Gram” – or do you call Instagram IG?

Pro Era reportedly received the photo of Malia from a mutual friend who knows both Malia and the Pro Era member who shared the photo. At least, that is the story from a representative for Joey Bada$$ in an email to Gawker, which didn’t state whether or not Malia knew the photo was being shared.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the 19-year-old New York rapper Joey Bada$$ — whose real name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, co-founder of the hip-hop collective Pro Era – will still be able to tour Australia, despite being charged with assault causing bodily harm.

The main question this reporter had upon seeing the photo of Malia Obama is whether or not it was taken in the White House as I tried to spy out the windows in the background behind Malia for clues.

As reported by the Inquisitr, the White House is looking into this photo leak of Malia, which isn’t the first time the teenager has been the center of controversy due to the response of others to her photos. Malia Obama is growing up, looking beautiful, and probably can’t wait until 2016, when the laser hot glare of the the world’s media leaves her life and focuses on another.
