A video showing US President Barack Obama first-born daughter twerking at a music festival over the weekend has gone viral on social media.
In the footage, Malia Obama is seen twerking and grinding together with her friends during the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.
Malia is almost unrecognizable in her party attire of a midriff-baring tube top and pair of short jeans.
The 18 year old just graduated from high school and will be joining Harvard University next year.

Malia and her younger sister Sasha have in the past being termed as one of the well-disciplined First children to ever occupy the white house with no scandals or arrests.
Netizens took to Facebook to express their views on the 18 year old letting loose and her dance moves.
One Niecy Williams encouraged Malia to enjoy herself after living a life under the microscope while at the White House.
โOh to live a life under a microscope be free girl! Enjoy yourself, sheโs doing nothing wrong & donโt let these judgmental people tell you different!โ

Other Facebook users shared the same opinion of allowing a teenager to have some fun before joining Harvard.
โSheโs 18 at a concert with her girls. Let her live! She doesnโt even have a cup in her hand. Oh how people forget how the past presidents daughters were out here getting arrested and being sloppy drunk women,โ wrote Yasmin Tiara Mattis.
While Saraji Captca said, โThis child speaks multiple languages, and is going to Harvard.
Let her dance!โฆ. Or whatever weโre calling this.โ
Chanda McPherson said, โThe only thing that upsets me about this video is her dance moves. Lol. Get it together girl!โ
