Erykah Badu is singing the blues after unintentionally sparking Obama drama on social media. The soulful Grammy Award winner took to Twitter seeking the former first family’s forgiveness for being a "terrible guest" by posting pictures and videos of Barack Obama’s massive 60th birthday party in Martha’s Vineyard on Aug. 7. "Mr. And Mrs. Obama, Please forgive me 4 being the ‘terrible guest’ at such a sacred event for your family," Badu, 50, real name Erica Wright, tweeted Thursday. The "Window Seat" singer’s unauthorized social media posts showed the birthday boy with wife Michelle, 57, dancing mask-free among the hundreds...

Rising coronavirus cases on Martha’s Vineyard have some businesses taking extra precautions ahead of a busy stretch of late-summer festivals. Covid-19 cases have shot back up on Martha’s Vineyard, with health agents reporting 48 new positive tests during the first week in August, including three case clusters Earlier this week, as word of Saturday’s shindig circulated on the island, many expressed surprise — not because director Steven Spielberg and singer Usher were rumored to be attending, but because COVID-19 cases are on the increase in Massachusetts. Even among fans of the former president, of which there are many on Martha’s...

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday scolded Americans gathering in Sturgis, South Dakota, for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally due to concerns about coronavirus, but has failed to offer any comment about former President Obama’s birthday bash and other large gatherings —a double standard social media users criticized him over. “I’m very concerned, Chuck, that we’re going to see another surge related to that rally,” Fauci told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd on Sunday. “It’s understandable that people want to do the kinds of things they want to do. They want their freedom to do that. But there comes a time...

Talk about the upper crust life, huh? Former President Barack Obama has his bougie birthday party over the weekend. There were tons of guests. It was a superspreader event if we’re going by the liberal media’s rules. COVID is back in the news, and the media is beyond aroused by it. They’re getting off on rising cases, deaths, and hospitalizations. They’re also using this as their PSA bullhorn to tell people to get vaccinated. Should we get the shot? Yes, I think they should. Should they be forced? No. There are a ton of people who don’t like vaccine mandates...

Former President Barack Obama reportedly continued to celebrate his 60th birthday Sunday with a brunch gathering of his friends at a restaurant in Martha’s Vineyard, marking the third straight day of pandemic partying for the Obamas. The Sunday brunch took place at a waterfront restaurant, with photographs showing Barack and Michelle Obama seated amid a crowd of friends, none of whom could be seen wearing masks as they socialized in close proximity, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

@ggreenwaldLeft-liberals spent a full year relentlessly COVID-shaming anyone who went outside (unless for liberal protests) or questioning Fauci. But now that their icons threw themselves an opulent indoor maskless party, they announce that only pettiness or jealousy would make you notice. According to @JoyAnnReid if you find anything distasteful or noteworthy about Obama throwing himself a gigantic maskless indoor party at his $12 million weekend estate -- as restrictions intensify -- it just means you're an unsophisticated, poor loser, angry you weren't invited. Can't remember an episode that has revealed quite as vividly how liberal elites really see the world...

As word got out that 700+ COVID super shedders were adjusting party hats in preparation for the "44-at-60" ass-kissing-fest on Martha's Vineyard, to quiet critics, Obama announced he was "scaling back" the Obamapalooza to include just "close family and friends." For regular folks like you and me, the words "close family and friends," usually means Grandma, the kids, and a boxed Duncan Hines birthday cake. But not for Shelley and Barry. As seaplanes full of victims of institutional and structural racism descended on Martha's Vineyard, "scaled back," became the most disingenuous parsing of words since "It depends on what the...

For the past 18 months, fewer people have been louder than America’s celebrities when it comes to insisting that “the little people” wear masks. Showing once again that celebrities believe themselves to be above those rules, it appears that for many, if not most, of the attendees at Obama’s 60th birthday bash, there wasn’t a mask to be seen. Tom Hanks has no respect for people wearing masks. His exact words are, “If you can’t wear a mask and wash your hands and social distance, I’ve got no respect for you, man.” George Clooney drops F-bombs at people who don’t...

Rapper Trap Beckham and manager TJ Chapman discreetly snapped pics of Obama’s high-end food, drink, and swag offerings and talked to their followers as the party unfolded, according to screenshots of the posts, which were later deleted under the event’s photography ban. The DJ posted stealth pics of Obama’s ‘epic’ birthday party — before being forced to delete them. He gave us the best inside look from the party full of “royalties” who imposed rules on the common folks’ but decided not to follow them. The recording artist and his handler posted themselves smoking cannabis. The New York Post reported...

Apparently I was one of the people dropped from the Obama 60th birthday invite list after they were forced to pretend to “scale back” to “only family and close friends” amid COVID-19 concerns – or more accurately, due to criticism regarding their lack of concern about COVID-19. As you may recall from my very first dispatch about my assignment as the Mirror Of The United States, artifice and illusion has always been the most the Obamas have to offer. I certainly understand the need to scale back previously planned and paid for social gatherings in these dangerous times, but so...

A few days ago it was reported that former President Barack Obama is creating a “nightmare” by trying to get nearly 700 people to his 60th birthday bash in Martha’s Vineyard — as news of the lavish party drew fire amid a national surge of the COVID Delta variant and new restrictions. George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, and Oprah Winfrey are among the 475 guests expected to attend alongside about 200 hired hands. Seen from the sky, these exclusive pictures and video show the sprawling set-up of Barrack Obama’s 60th birthday celebrations – and on the ground some of the crème...

President Barack Obama was just finishing up 18 holes at the Vineyard Golf Club around noon Saturday when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived by private jet to attend Obama’s big 60th birthday party set to kick off at 7 p.m., sources told The Post. The ex-president, who hit the links with pals Don Cheadle and NBA coach Steve Kerr, flew in Friday for the supposedly scaled-down party, while Pelosi got the VIP treatment at Martha’s Vineyard Airport when she arrived. Sources told The Post that the Secret Service made special arrangements for the private plane she came in to taxi...

On the island but off the list. Nancy Pelosi is in Martha's Vineyard but off Barack Obama's 'trimmed' down birthday party list. And it's awkward. On the island but off the list. Nancy Pelosi is in Martha's Vineyard but off Barack Obama's 'trimmed' down birthday party list. And it's awkward.

According to one well informed source Saturday afternoon brought a tense meeting as Pelosi dined with Oprah Winfrey at...

They’re partying like it’s 2019. Celebrities, politicians and a couple hundred other “close friends and family members” packed in to celebrate former President Barack Obama’s 60th birthday Saturday in what was billed as a “scaled-back” bash amid rising concerns about the fast-spreading Delta variant of COVID-19. Yet A-listers streamed into Martha’s Vineyard for the swanky soiree at Obama’s $12 million seaside mansion, and few were spotted wearing masks. All while President Biden, Obama’s ex-veep, warned the nation about a possible corona­virus resurgence. “It’s hypocrisy at its finest and shows they don’t believe what they are saying,” said Republican Party consultant...

Kerry, Jay-Z, Beyonce, George Clooney, Dwayne Wade, Kathleen Biden, Stephen Colbert, Don Cheadle, were spotted on Martha’s Vineyard on Friday in advance of Saturday’s gala.

“Had to delete everything due to the rules,” Beckham reportedly explained. “It was epic for sure. If any videos surface it’s going viral. He danced the whole time. Nobody ever seen Obama like this before.”

As we reported yesterday canopies and catering stations that dwarf Obama’s mansion revealed the true scale of the party that, according to the former president’s spokesman, was scaled back from a 700-person extravaganza to a small affair only for family and close friends. The mainstream media reported that Obama scaled back his 60th birthday bash, but it seems that is fake news and Obama lied! Yestereday morning photos were released of massive tents set up on the Obama compound in advance of the former president’s birthday bash.

Former President Barack Obama was seen dancing without a face covering at his weekend 60th birthday bash in his luxury home in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The 44th president was captured in now-deleted footage posted by singer-songwriter Erykah Badu grooving beside other maskless attendees on what appeared to be a stage while loud music blared on Saturday.
