ARE MICHELLE AND BARACK OBAMA GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS?

Social media users have been confused for over a week now at the outlandish claims. According to HITC, the root of the rumours is an Instagram account called Rapstreet TV. The account is said to be dedicated to humour, but of course, not everyone is aware of that.

Spreading the hoax on 6 September, the account wrote: “BREAKING: FUTURE and MALIA OBAMA are expecting their first child together.”

The account went on to claim that “sources” say Malia and Future have been together for a while.

“This news came as a shock to many as the relationship between Malia and Future was kept secret until now. Sources are not sure how long Malia has been pregnant but reportedly have been informed by sources close to Future that the rapper’s been ‘smashing dah b*tch’ for a while now. Y’all happy for Malia and Future or nah?”

However, the two media personalities have never been linked with each other until this bizarre rumour.

As expected, the claims spread like wildfire as some people completely disregarded them while others believed them.

WHO IS MALIA OBAMA DATING?

On Monday 12 September, Malia Obama, 24, was spotted hanging out with rumoured boyfriend Dawit Eklund, 33, in New York City — PageSix reports. This comes a month after the pair were spotted together in Los Angeles.

While the pair has not yet confirmed the relationship, and spent most of their stroll with their arms firmly crossed in front of them on Monday before grabbing lunch, they were a bit more touchy-feely last month.
