Barack Obama’s oldest daughter, Malia, has ditched her Obama surname as she begins a career in Hollywood.
Malia Obama’s last name change was first revealed in her new film project, “The Heart,” in which she was credited as Malia Ann instead of Malia Obama.
The oldest daughter of Obama reportedly dropped her last name in film projects to distance herself from her famous parents.
Barrack Obama has now responded to his daughter ditching her last name.
In a recent appearance on the “Pivot” podcast, Obama shared, “Her first film went to Sundance and all these fancy film festivals, and she didn’t use ‘Obama’ as a director on the credits.”
The 44th President added, “I mean, they’re very sensitive about this stuff. They’re very stubborn about it.”

Per The New York Post:
Barack Obama got candid on his daughter Malia dropping her last name in a professional setting.
After the 26-year-old tried to distance herself from her famous moniker for her directorial debut, the former president, 63, said he warned her that doing so wouldn’t hide her connection to her parents.
“Her first film went to Sundance and all these fancy film festivals and she didn’t use ‘Obama’ as a director on the credits,” Barack said during Tuesday’s episode of the “Pivot” podcast.
“I was all like, ‘You do know they’ll know who you are.’ ”
Malia Obama got her start in Hollywood after working as an intern for a disgraced producer and convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
Casting couch
Do you blame her? She doesn’t have either of their DNA, so why drag that last name with them – – feel free to change it anytime you want just like BOTH of the guys that bought & raised you girls! Show them – You too can play THEIR game. They don’t deserve them as daughters and they don’t want to be BURDENED by What Has Been – – essentially a financial transaction in which two friends made, carried and sold their 2 daughters to Barry & Mike. Can you imagine growing up and being paraded around like AKC Champion Poodles to make it appear like the typical all-American Family whether both your parents have penis’ yet one wants you to call him “Mom” – – that’s enough to mess a kids’ head up – – I’m GLAD to see that they are drawing boundaries in their lives!
I can’t wait for them to make it on their own, make millions and be financially secure and THEN write a book and Spill the Tea so high & mighty that tells a great deal but also keeps enough close to the vest to hold them – in behave mode – but let them know that IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME I have instructed 10 un-named people to immediately release these taped recordings of ALL the rest, names, dates, locations, who all was involved and where to find the bodies – – – to ensure their safety for life. I’m sure another Country would offer them Safety, Security and Privacy in exchange for a few tidbits
Can’t blame her for wanting to distance herself from these fakes.
Of course she is not really the daughter of the Obuttbuddies Barak and Michael…..men can’t have babies so they are adopted. She is smart for dropping that last name….who wants to be the “daughter” of two males? I bet her birth parents both committed suicide (or were suicided) when they saw who or what adopted them.
