Malik Obama, the estranged half-brother of former US president Barack Obama, stirred a mix of reactions on social media by posting an older picture of the two of them.
Taking to his X account, Malik went on a rant about how the former president was a bad brother and family member. He wrote; What kind of brother is that? I buried my children Kweku and Rashidah alone, I buried both my aunts Zeituni and Hawa Auma alone, I buried my mother Mama Kezia Obama alone, and I buried my grandmother Mama Sara Obama alone. What kind of brother is that? Fake Ass A Snake (President Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize, My Brother’s Keeper).

Malik has always been a tough critic of Barrack Obama, even earlier making statements alluding that the former US president had ‘sold his soul to the devil’. The 65-year-old half-brother has frequently used X to express his annoyance with his more prosperous half-brother, a behavior that a lot of internet users have linked to jealousy.
You sound jealous

What a clout-chasing loser. Your half-brother was president and all your going to be remembered for is being a hater on Twitter going out sad old man.
@forevermanc05
You are jealous of him, he has the grace to be great, tap from his grace instead of being jealous about him.

Although most netizens are accusing Malik of being jealous and brushing off his sentiments as clout chasing, another section of internet users believes that there is some truth to what he says.
I’m sorry you had to go through all that Malik. That story does NOT sit right with me. So many of us thank you for your courage and strength We love you.

How gross, I remember reading he was your best man at your wedding and visa versa. How does someone not show up for family funerals while they have given eulogies for so many important people, I guess family is not important.

A lot of people live fake lives and help people that don’t need help, but their close ones and family that they should be present for won’t even be recognized by them.
