She’s pals with Maisy Biden and Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s daughter Skylar, is an ‘excellent dancer’ (according to her dad), and likes to party in Miami

Drake posted a photo of her on Instagram and Prince dragged her on stage at a concert, but she’s also worked a normal job at a seafood restaurant in the past

It seems like being reposted by Drake and dancing with Prince are all in a day’s work for Sasha Obama. Here’s why the former president’s daughter might be the coolest 19-year-old on the planet.

Drake praised her fashion sense

Her elder sister is believed to have had a crush on the rapper, and her dad has even given the nod for the hip-hop star to play him in a movie, so it must have been the ultimate compliment to get praise for her fashion sense from Drake. The singer posted a picture of Sasha on his Instagram page in which he called her a “style popper”. Granted, Sasha was wearing a cap from his OvO range, but it puts her a few street cred points ahead of the rest of the Obamas.

She has famous best friends

Not only does Sasha count Real Housewives of Potomac star Charrisse Jackson Jordan’s daughter Skylar as one of her friends (the pair have lunch together and Skylar attended Sasha’s 16th birthday), but there’s another well-known name in her clan. Sasha and President Joe Biden’s granddaughter Maisy go way back to when Biden was Barack Obama’s vice-president.

After being thrust into the spotlight at the respective ages of five and six years old, the pair attended Sidwell Friends, the local school for presidential kids, together. The duo also love basketball, have played soccer together and even vacationed in Miami. The girls even stayed at the luxury Setai Hotel and dined at high end steakhouse STK, according to US Weekly.
