Barack Obama’s relationship with his half-brother Malik Obama has been strained for years, and recent social media posts from Malik show just how deep the rift has become. Malik recently referred to Barack as “fake as a snake” and claimed his brother had “sold his soul to the devil” in a series of heated tweets. This public spat is just the latest in a long line of grievances Malik has aired about the former president.
The two brothers were once close, with Malik even serving as the best man at Barack’s wedding. But things started to sour as Barack’s political career took off.
Malik, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, has expressed frustration over being “rejected” by his brother and feels that Barack’s success has made him distant and arrogant. He even claimed that Barack stopped financially supporting their Kenyan relatives, fueling further resentment.
Their falling out seems to be driven by both personal and political differences. While Barack has stayed mostly silent on Malik’s public attacks,
Malik has repeatedly criticized Barack in interviews and even endorsed conspiracy theories questioning his brother’s legitimacy as president. The tension between them has become a spectacle, with Malik using social media to vent his anger and keep the feud in the public eye.
It’s clear that the once-close bond between the brothers has deteriorated, leaving them at odds both personally and politically.
