Barack Obama is a proud dad, and he helps his daughters Malia and Sasha Obama and their inventive endeavors — even those he finds “a little disturbing.”
The former president of the United States revealed in a dialog with Hasan Minhaj on the comic’s YouTube channel that he watched Prime Video’s Swarm, for which Malia Obama served as a author for the venture alongside Donald Glover, who created the sequence.
“I watched it because, A) I was a big fan of Atlanta,” he stated, mentioning Glover’s FX present. “And I watched it because my daughter worked on it. So, of course, I’ve got to watch it.”
Minhaj then requested if Obama watched the pilot episode for the present, the primary 5 minutes of which comprises an NSFW scene with Chloe Bailey and co-star Damson Idris having intercourse as lead Dominique Fishback watches by means of the crack of an open door.
“Look, if what you are suggesting is that there are aspects of that show that I found a little disturbing…” Obama stated, including that it’s par for the course. “That’s the nature of art these days and at [this] moment, and that’s OK.”
While Obama didn’t elaborate additional on his ideas in regards to the scene, Bailey did reply to backlash the scene obtained on social media. “Anything negative, I did not see. So in turn, I was just proud as the work I did as an actress,” Bailey stated throughout an April look on The Tamron Hall Show, noting that she felt much more pleased with the work she did when fellow actress Taraji P. Henson praised her work on the sequence.
