Malia Obama to drop her last name 'Obama'

[theflyest]

Bytch needs to embrace that last name, and use it to get what she wants out of life. Thats what her father worked for all of his life for.

I get where she’s coming from. No one wants to live up to unreal expectations. What we need to talk about is nikkas naming their boys Jr, but work at an Amazon warehouse. That shyts kinda selfish to me. Give that young man his own identity, man you ain’t build no legacy to do all that.

 

[Supa]

It's just her stage name. Y'all act like she legally changed her name. It's probably easier for to not have such a politically charged last name on her work.

You don't have to rage over every little thing.

White parents would never allow this and white kids would never do this. They take every last advantage they can in this world.

You thought you had one

Angelina Jolie dropped John Voight's last name.

Nick Cage did it.

Liam Neeson's son uses the last name Richardson.

That's plenty more white actors and entertainers who don't use their famous last names.

She has no idea how hard it is out there for those without a leg up like her. All these wealthy kids should serve time in foreign countries to see what’s really going on. Send her, Trump’s kid, and the rest of them to the Third World for a summer or two - no luxuries, just live like the locals in the worst areas, with safety measures in place.

If I were in charge of admissions at an Ivy League school, I would make every student do that...

 

[theflyest]

I bet those white dudes are doing unspeakable things to her, high-fiving, giggling while running a train on this girl,

 

[jwinfield]

You named one person.

Most of corporate big wigs and world elite are not doing that.

But she's not trying to be a corporate big wig. She's doing Hollywood shyt. There's a lot of people in that world using stage names.

Michelle Obama makes first comments after daughter Malia drops last name: 'She's trying to make her way'

Malia used her middle name, Ann, as her last name for the credits of a short film, "The Heart," which she wrote and directed.

abcnews.go.com

Former first lady Michelle Obama said she and her husband, Barack, respect their daughter Malia dropping her last name "Obama" in professional projects -- and praised how both of their daughters more generally "want to be their own people."

"Malia, who started in film, I mean, her first project -- she took off her last name, and we were like, they're still going to know it's you, Malia," Michelle Obama added. "But we respected the fact that she's trying to make her way."

Barack Obama sounded a similar note in October, telling former football player and "The Pivot Podcast" host Ryan Clark , "[Malia's] first film went to Sundance and all these fancy film festivals, and she didn't use Obama as director on the credits."

"'You do know they'll know who you are,'" he said he told her. "And she's all like, 'You know what? I want them to watch it that first time and not in any way have that association [with the Obama last name].' So I think our daughters go out of their way to not try to leverage that."

 

[The Realist Perspective]

She trying not to use his name and make it on her own merits. All we gonna say is she got everything cuz of her last name.

Who else does this?

The Kennedys? The Bush’s? The TRUMPS??

This is weird. And the more Michelle speaks it seems she really engrained this disdain for Barack’s success.

These feminist rights ass nikkas dont get it you always honor your father and his last name wtf father worked hard so his daughter wouldn't have to only for her to say "I dont need/want that" take advantage of it you dumb cigarette smoking bytch.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

I'm damn sure. Look at every big corporation. Look at every white Harvard grad. No them white kids ain't changing their last name, they carrying that legacy for generations.

We’re the Hollywood and celebrity life. Not what you’re talking about.

 

[Po pimp]

difference is nobody knew who he was before he made the change. Everybody knows who obamas daughters are, Her mom pointed this out too. Seems more like his kids being disappointing yet again than anything.

How many people knew she directed that A’ja Wilson commercial before articles ran saying she did it? With Smaller projects, the average consumer may not know she’s the one behind the scenes doing the directing. As she becomes more successful, then he’s they will realize she’s Barack’s daughter. I’m sure the A’ja Wilson commercial isn't the first thing she’s done, but it’s the first thing of note most of us knew she directed.

I’m about to c

my son did the same thing couple of years ago

I’m about to change my name

[Stick Up Kid]

I’m about to c

I’m about to change my name

My pops been in the news wildin and I’m a jr

to be fair, I asked him to change it for tax purposes

 

[MajesticLion]

Sure, because "Malia" is a common enough mononym that everybody who hears it will just forget about the surname.

 

[Grifter]

She look just like her daddy.






























Does she have her mama's ass?

 

[Po pimp]

Her mom was actually critical of it too, but whats she going to do about it? disown her? she decided to support her anyway.
There have also been actors who have come out and expressed regret for doing this, like Martin Sheen

That’s apples and oranges. He regrets it because he got rid of his Spanish name in an attempt to assimilate. She doesn’t want the Obama name to overshadow her work.
