Twitter had a grand ole time this weekend when videos of Sasha Obama and her friend found their way onto the site after being discovered on TikTok.
Most of the videos involve the two performing complicated dance numbers but a few were just of them singing along to City Girls like the rest of us.

Unfortunately, the attention that the posts got led to Obama's friend deleting most of them, but as always, the internet is forever.

Despite the excitement, some were worried about what conservative media outlets would do with the videos considering the ridiculous reaction some have had to past to both Sasha and her sister Malia.
Anything the two sisters do is heavily scrutinized by conservative media outlets, politicians and downright critical people despite decades of presidents' children doing outlandish things. This time was no different but there were certainly more championing the youngest Obama than critiquing her.
If y’all don’t let Sasha Obama live her college student life, and stop bothering her. She’s literally dancing and doing tiktok features. She isn’t on drugs, alcohol or having a melt down. Go Sasha, we love to see it!

Please let Sasha Obama be awesome.
Don’t ruin her fun. If you see her on TikTok just laugh, appreciate, and keep on going.
Don’t make her disappear.
Respect Sasha Obama, let her rap, and wait for more #Obama— Mychal (@mychal3ts) October 25, 2020
Others criticized people for blowing up Obama's spot and messing up her good time.
there’s literally so many videos/audio of Donald Trump saying nasty & vulgar things & his white supporters are in a frenzy about Sasha Obama on tiktok lip syncing to the city girls… make it make sense pls.

Why can’t Sasha Obama have fun? What’s the problem? She’s in college making TikTok like regular college kids.

Congratulations to everybody who posted those tiktok videos of Sasha Obama, now her friend just deleted all the videos of her in them.

The conservatives who think that 19 year old Sasha Obama lip syncing and dancing on TikTok is a problem, are the same ones who think it’s perfectly ok that Melania Trump once posed for pornographic photos.

The videos were trending on Sunday but most focused in on Obama singing along to JT's verse Moneybagg Yo’s “Said Sum” remix featuring the City Girls.
Even JT caught wind of the video and shared it.

Obama is currently in her sophomore year at Michigan State University. She has had to take classes online because of the coronavirus pandemic, so she has been at home with her mom, Michelle.
“My girls are studying from home. We’re itching to get back to campus, but things are just confusing … not quite safe. I’m just glad that they’re staying put, even if they’re sick of me,” Michelle Obama said during an Instagram Live interview with Jennifer Lopez in September.
