Former First Lady Michelle Obama wished her husband, former President Barack Obama, a happy Father’s Day on social media, Sunday. Michelle said their kids “couldn’t have asked for a better role model.”

“Happy #FathersDay to all the dads out there — especially the one and only @BarackObama!” she wrote. “Our daughters couldn’t have asked for a better role model. We’re so lucky to have you in our lives.”

With the caption, she included a photo of Barack with their daughters Malia and Sasha inside the Oval Office at the White House.

Michelle also wrote about her late father, Fraser Robinson III, in a separate post.

“It’s almost #FathersDay, so I’m thinking a lot about my dad: his baritone voice, his laugh that filled up the room, the way he always knew how to set the right mood by spinning up the perfect record. My father gave great advice, taught me the value of hard work, encouraged me to ask questions, and always gave me the space to do so. I always thought he was so cool—just look at this photo!”

Ari Fletcher went all out for her Father’s Day celebration in honor of Moneybagg Yo, Sunday. She posted a video to her Instagram story that showed off a massive “#1 Dad” sign, matching massage tabes, and a “World’s Greatest Dad” poster featuring pics of himself and the family.

Moneybagg Yo and Fletcher have been romantically linked since January 2020. During their time together there have been many ups and downs, but they’ve remained together throughout.

Fans worried whether the couple was calling it quits, earlier this year, when both Moneybagg Yo and Fletcher unfollowed each other on social media. 

Back in April, Moneybagg Yo explained why there’s been turmoil, but they’re still going strong.

“It’s going on almost two years in October,” he explained. “She understands, she get it. […] With this situation I can talk how I want, I can say what I want, she accepts it. She gets it. She knows what’s going on. That’s how the money coming in. So why would she interfere in that? She understands everything, she’s like my homie at the same time. She’s like my friend at the same time. It’s love.”

He added: “We just wanted to get away from the social media sh*t but we live with each other. We see each other every– she with me right now. All the social media, like, we try to get away from all that but it is what it is. They see us.”

Saints star running back Alvin Kamara has landed an offseason job as NASCAR’s first Growth and Engagement Advisor, he announced on his social media, Sunday.

On its website, NASCAR explains that Kamara will “work directly with NASCAR leadership on strategic planning and creative opportunities that support its fan development efforts.”

“I’m excited they carved out a role for me,” Kamara said Sunday, according to ESPN. “I got an office. I got a key card. I feel like I never had a job besides the NFL, so I got two jobs now. [Saints coach] Sean Payton going to have to give me some downtime.”

Kamara only recently became a fan of NASCAR. Last June, he publically supported the sport’s decision to ban Confederate flags from its racetracks. In response, NASCAR invited Kamara to attend his first race at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. There, he supported Bubba Wallace.

“It’s an honor to be able to team up with NASCAR and be their first-ever Growth and Engagement Advisor,” Kamara said, according to the website. “I’m excited to use my passion as a fan to help shape their long-term efforts to grow the sport.”

Check out Kamara’s announcement, which calls out Saints coach Sean Payton, below.

Foolio recently criticized her for being “extra” in the wake of Von’s death.

“Real sh*t. If somethin’ ever happen to me, bro, don’t be an Asian Doll,” Foolio said in a video. “If you know what we was on and we didn’t talk like that, don’t be extra. For real. Don’t be on that Asian [Doll].”

In response to overall criticism from fans, she tweeted about her relationship with Von, earlier this week: “As long as von in the situation ima always be respectful cause I’m not finna be out here looking slow gang. He can’t speak for himself & I ain’t finna speak for him. Be safe out here y’all. I’m not arguing with nobody tho fasho my whole like will do the talking.”

“Celebrating everyone who put their kids first before anything and anyone else,” she wrote in the post. “No matter the circumstances or situation. Those who are committed to be the best version for their children, no matter how hard parenting is at times. I CELEBRATE YOU.”

She added: “For those who wake up exhausted, but will do it all over again! Thank you!”

Harris and Brown were first linked together in 2015, shortly after Brown’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. The couple is believed to have split in September 2020, when both unfollowed each other on social media.

After declaring on social media that he doesn’t “just write love songs… I am love songs,” Brown recently said that he won’t be dropping a new album anytime soon because “I need to give y’all a chance to miss me.”

A number of other celebs celebrated Father’s Day with posts of their own, including Kim Kardashian who shared a photo of her ex-husband Kanye West, Cardi B, who posted a video with Offset, and more.

Earlier this week, Shmurda revealed that he was meeting with Roc Nation by posting a video from their office. “If it’s up then it’s up, n***a,” he said in the video on his IG Story.

Tekashi 6ix9ine hated on the move in the comments, calling Shmurda a hypocrite.

“They hate ratting and cooperating with police but SIGN to roc nation (Who’s CEO is a cooperating federal informant for the DEA) but pick and choose,” he wrote.

He added: “People hate it because it comes from me. But it’s cool I’m still untouched it’s been a year since I been home I’ve done shows I been in night clubs I done everything people told me I couldn’t do.
