Former US President Barack Obama and his family have been a frequent target of misinformation on social media, particularly from right-wing accounts. The latest claim concerns Malia Obama, the elder daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama. A viral post on X claims that Malia admitted her parents are not her biological parents. However, this claim has been debunked as false with no evidence to support it. Malia is currently working as a filmmaker and commercial director in Los Angeles, building a low-profile creative career.
Additionally, the post also falsely attributed a quote to Nick Shirley, a far-right social media content creator, claiming that Malia confided in him about growing up living a lie. However, there is no evidence to support this claim, and Shirley has made no social media posts or comments about Malia Obama.
