We have some heartbreaking news today, ILOSM family. Marian Robinson, the beloved mother of Michelle Obama, has passed away at the age of 86. The former First Lady herself shared the news on social media, expressing the deep loss and pain that her family is feeling at this time. In Michelle’s words, Marian was her rock, always there for her whenever she needed support.

Mrs. Obama started with this profound statement about her mother:

“My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today.”

Marian was not just a mother to Michelle; she was a pillar of strength for the entire Obama family. Her spirit and wisdom were cherished by all who knew her. Barack Obama, Michelle’s iconic husband and the 44th President of the United States, recognized the vital role Marian played in their lives, especially during their time in the White House.

Marian lived with the Obamas at the White House, helping to raise their daughters, Malia and Sasha, during their formative years. Barack has often credited his mother-in-law with keeping their young girls grounded during their time in the spotlight.

The Obama family spoke of Marian with deep admiration and affection. They described her as a woman who possessed profound wisdom, able to capture the essence of life’s truths in just a few words. Her insights were born out of a lifetime of experiences, shaped by her understanding that even the harshest edges of life could be softened with grace:

“Marian Lois Shields Robinson — our mother-in-law, and grandmother — had a way of summing up the truths about life in a word or two, maybe a quick phrase that made everyone around her stop and think.

Her wisdom came off as almost innate, as something she was born with, but in reality it was hard-earned, fashioned by her deep understanding that the world’s roughest edges could always be sanded down with a little grace.”

Michelle Obama paid tribute to her mother’s remarkable achievements, highlighting her legacy as an inspiring woman. Although specific details about Marian’s passing have not been disclosed, it is clear that she left an indelible mark on the lives of her children and grandchildren.

Marian is survived by Michelle, her son Craig, and her six grandchildren. The loss of this remarkable woman will be deeply felt by all who knew her and by those who were touched by her strength and grace. Marian Robinson has left a legacy of love and wisdom that will continue to resonate for generations to come.

As we reflect on the life of Marian Robinson, let us hold her family in our thoughts and prayers. May they find solace in the memories they shared and in the knowledge that Marian’s love will forever guide and protect them.

Marian Robinson, rest in eternal peace, queen. Your spirit will live on, inspiring us all to embrace life with grace and courage.

Black men love a great butt. It’s no secret. Even if that butt belongs to former First Lady Michelle Obama, it still seemingly applies. Jamie Foxx recalls getting caught taking “the peek.”

For reals, former First Lady Michelle Obama is historically the curviest woman to ever hold the title. And as you’ll find out, even Jamie Foxx couldn’t resist the temptation to look at Michelle’s rear as she walked pass.

However, the press was watching…and waiting. It’s almost as if they knew “the peek” was coming, and according to Foxx, their cameras were ready.

In an interview with Hot 97‘s Ebro, Jamie gives a detailed explanation of what happened that night. The conversation starts with the two discussing Oprah and Gayle King. That’s when Foxx segues the conversation to Michelle Obama.

“See, that’s the problem with a**,” Jamie explains to co-host Laura Stylez. “As a guy who loves a**, like us, it will get you in trouble. I don’t know if I can tell this story…but I’ll tell you.”

Here’s What Jamie Says Happened>>>

Michelle Gives Her Opinion

On Sunday while in London to promote her best-selling memoir “Becoming” Michelle and late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert discussed the current state of America. During this conversation Colbert claimed that right now America is like a teenager whose body is changing. The Washington Post reports that Michelle added;

“We are a teenager,” she said, “And we come from a broken family, we’re a teenager, we’re a little unsettled, and having good parents, it’s tough, sometimes you spend the weekend with divorced dad and that seems fun until you get sick. That’s what America is going through, living with divorced dad.”

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged earlier this month and announced the news with a post on Instagram showing off the massive rock.

“She said yes,” Rodriguez said in a post showing JLo’s hand, now bearing a huge engagement ring. Whereas JLo simply posted several hearts to accompany the announcement.

The “Jenny From The Block” singer recently opened up about her engagement to the former Yankees player to People magazine, telling the publication the couple has “an appreciation for where we are in our lives today.”

“And that’s what we’re enjoying the most,” she added.

Barack and Michelle Obama sent Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez a congratulations note on their engagement

Even Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s excited about Jennifer Lopez’s engagement to Alex Rodriguez.

On Friday morning, the retired New York Yankees player, 43, shared a photo of the thoughtful, handwritten notethis link opens in a new tab Obama, 57, sent the couple, congratulating them on their big news.

Our favorite chief-in-command went on to share a piece of advice with the couple, writing:

“Jennifer and Alex,” the note read. “Michelle and I just wanted to congratulate you on your engagement. After 26 years together, we can say that whatever challenges life may bring, sharing them with someone you love makes it all better. All the best, Barack Obama.”

Alongside the photo of the sweet gesture, Rodriguez wrote, “This means the world to us.”

WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — The Obamas have this elderly woman thinking differently about her life. As she turns 110, she sets a new plan in motion. Talk about “higher perspective.”

Her name is Virginia McLaurin. You might remember her from a particular 2016 meet and greet with President Barack and First Lady Michelle at the White House. Profoundly, their meeting impacts McLaurin’s life to this day.

According to WJLA-7, Virginia clearly recalls her moment with the former First Family. The source quotes her as follows.

“I met a black president and a black wife. That’s me. I was so scared because I was raised in the South. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t think I would ever, ever be able to get in the White House.”

Reportedly, McLaurin was 106 at the time of her White House visit. But, she will forever remember it.

WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — Every relationship has its share of ups and downs, even for the Obamas. What matters is how you come through them, together. And most importantly, your business is your business. Don’t put it in the street.

In Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming, the former First Lady discusses the happenings of her life during the moments leading up to her husband’s presidency — as well as occurrences during his terms.

MICHELLE OBAMA, MISCARRIAGE, AND ‘BEING ALONE’

According to BBC, former First Lady Obama told ABC, “I felt like I failed because I didn’t know how common miscarriages were, because we don’t talk about them.”

“We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we’re broken… It’s important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen.”

Reportedly, something dawned on Michelle Obama. IVF — in vitro fertilization — was going to have to be the ultimate choice. The source says, at age 34, Mrs. Obama understood — first hand — that “the biological clock is real.” Furthermore, she realized her egg production was surely limited.

BBC reports Michelle telling ABC‘s Robin Roberts the following statement regarding the situation.

“I think it’s the worst thing that we do to each other as women, not share the truth about our bodies and how they work.”

Mrs. Obama’s book also mentions she had to administer IVF shots herself, due to her husband’s ultra-busy schedule. The Obamas actually experienced real trouble in their relationship once Barack joined the state legislature.

Unfortunately, as aforementioned, Michelle’s miscarriage happened nearly 20 years ago — leaving a lasting affect and effect on her for years to come.

Likewise, according to the source, Sasha and Malia were both IVF conceptions.

MRS. OBAMA’S MARRIAGE COUNSELING WORKED FOR THE BEST

As stated in the beginning of this article, it’s important that — when going through trials in your relationship — you keep it all to yourself. That’s why the public had no idea at all that Michelle Obama and her family were going through it at times.

There were times when communications weren’t the best within the household.

“Marriage counseling for us was one of those ways where we learned how to talk out our differences,” Mrs. Obama mentions.

“I know too many young couples who struggle and think that somehow there’s something wrong with them. And I want them to know that Michelle and Barack Obama, who have a phenomenal marriage and who love each other, we work on our marriage. And we get help with our marriage when we need it.”

However, she also talks about when she fell in love with her husband… experiencing a “blast of lust, gratitude, fulfillment, wonder.”

The post Michele Obama Reveals Intimate Details On Marriage And Her Heartbreaking Miscarriage appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

ILOSM family, we’ve just about seen it all now, after seeing what our forever president, Barack Obama, just did with his queen, Michelle. Matter of fact, this put a big smile on our faces today. The iconic Mr. and Mrs. were spotted at…wait for it…Beyonce’s and Jay Z’s concert gettin’ their dance on. Now, we already know Michelle loves her some Bey’ and Jay Z’s music, she made that quite clear on several occasions. The most recent, being when she popped up at their show a few weeks ago and danced the night away with Bey’s moms, Tina Lawson. But y’all have GOT to see Barack… scroll down for video…

WATCH Barack & Michelle Dance & Surprise Fans At Concert

Welp folks, lo and behold, Michelle done dragged her hubby to the show, for one of Beyonce’s and Jay Z’s ‘On The Run II’ tour stops and it was epic. Unlike before, when Michelle sat alongside the stage in clear eyesight of the crowd, they didn’t take that risk with her husband, understandably so. Secret Service was probably like ‘Hell to the naw,’ when it came time for Barack to get his side stage view. Therefore, the Obamas were treated to a sky high view in the very secluded and enclosed VIP suite of the stadium instead.

For most of the show, fans had absolutely no clue that the Obamas were hoisted over their heads, enjoying the show. But at some point, the attention was brought to them and when fans turned around and looked up to see Barack smiling, dancing, and waiving back at them, the crowd went WILD! Watch the video clips below and be sure to swipe left…

It was a beautiful sight to see and y’all already know Michelle was right next to Barack, gettin’ her dance on with him. Gotta love Pres. Obama…MAN, I wish there were a 3-term rule, instead of 2, but ah well, it is what it is. Anywho, check out the Obama’s cuttin’ a rug to Jay and Bey’ in the video, shared by The Shade Room, up top.

By the way, Barack’s been cuttin’s a rug to Beyonce’s music ever since he was Senator Barack. Watch him do his thing to “Crazy Right Now” with talk show host, Ellen Degeneres:

Watch Michelle & Mama Tina Cut Up Too

In case y’all missed our previous report, the you missed a treat, because Michelle Obama and Bey’s Mama Tina were gettin’ their two-step on something SERIOUS at the OTRII Tour on July 15, 2018.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BlRKyzPApGd/

At that time, Barack couldn’t make the show, because he was in Kenya, East Africa, where half of his kinfolks hail from. However, that didn’t stop Michelle from gettin’ her life at the concert! It all went down at Paris’ Stade de France, while Beyonce’ and Jay Z were performing “Let Me Upgrade You,” among other hits at their concert. Fans were shocked as hell to notice Mrs. Obama, her two daughters -Malia and Sasha- and Malia’s boyfriend, casually stroll up to their VIP seats incognito. Well, if you call being escorted by plain clothed Secret Service agents ‘incognito,’ then yeah, that’s about as ‘incognito’ as it’ll ever get for them. Anyways, the former first fam’ linked up with Tina Lawson right next to the stage and apparently, one of their favorite songs is “Upgrade,” because as soon as it came on, Michelle and Tina started gettin’ hype.

Just for the hell of it, we’ll also throwback to that time Pres. Obama shocked the world with his Al Green singing skills in the video clip below…

It’s official, Michelle and Barack Obama are THE coolest (and most effective, might I add) President and First Lady EVER!

Every now and then, there comes a time in life, when you’ve just gotta let loose, you know…cut a rug a lil’ bit. That time has now come for our forever First Lady, Michelle Obama, and Beyonce’s and Solange’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson.

Watch Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Lawson Party Hard At Bey & Jay Z’s Show

It’s one thing to be the mother of the biggest R&B star of today’s generation, but it’s a whole OTHER thing to be homegirls with one of the most powerful women on the world, Mrs. Obama! That’s exactly what it seems for Tina, especially after the way the two of them ‘partied like it’s 1999′ on Sunday (July 15, 2018).

It all went down at Paris’ Stade de France, while Beyonce’ and Jay Z were performing “Let Me Upgrade You,” among other hits at their concert. Fans were shocked as hell to notice Mrs. Obama, her two daughters -Malia and Sasha- and Malia’s boyfriend, casually stroll up to their VIP seats. Well, if you call being escorted by plain clothed Secret Service agents ‘incognito,’ then, yeah that’s about as incognito as it’ll even get for them. Anyways, the former first fam’ linked up with Tina Lawson right next to the stage in and apparently, one of their favorite songs is “Upgrade,” because as soon as it came on Michelle and Tina started gettin’ their two-step on.

By the way, in case y’all are wondering where our forever president, Barack Obama, is…he’s currently in Kenya, East Africa, where one half of his kinfolk are from.

And another thing, as seen in the above videos, Malia and Sasha were standing nearby their mom, enjoying the the show. They didn’t seem surprised by her dancing, which is probably because they’re no strangers to it. Ever since they entered into the White House, it has always been understood that Mrs. Obama likes to get her dance on. Below are just a few times that she’s made us dig her even more, when she danced it up with celebs:

See Mrs. Obama Cut Up With Jussie Smollett

In May (2018), as “Empire” star, Jussie Smollett, was performing his song at a College Signing Day event in Philadelphia, Pa, Michelle Obama decided to join him. Like we said, y’all already know that former Pres. Obama’s wife is never one to shy away from a dance floor. Jussie a.k.a. “Jamal Lyon” was honored that Mrs. Obama hit the stage with him and tweeted about it. Check out the video below:

Watch Michelle Obama Get Her “Freak On” & Jam With Missy Elliot!

And of course we canNOT forget about that time that Michelle proved she was ‘the coolest’ First Lady to EVER step foot into the White House when she danced AND rapped with Missy Elliot! In 2016, she appeared on “The James Corden Show” and joined him for a quick car pool karaoke ride. The had a colorful jam session to Beyonce’ and Missy Elliot. Michelle Obama knew every word to the songs and even got a surprise car ride with Missy! Peep their car ride below…

And THIS ladies and gentlemen, is just another reason why we rock with Michelle Obama! She’s brains, class, eloquence, and can two step and spit rap bars with the best of ’em!

Watch Mrs. Obama Cut Up With Jussie Smollett

As Jussie was performing his song on stage at the event, Michelle Obama decided to join him. Y’all already know that former Pres. Obama’s wife is never one to shy away from a dance floor. In fact, she’ll turn any space into her own personal dance floor if the mood hits her, as she did during Jussie’s set. The “Empire” star was happy and honored that Mrs. Obama hit the stage with him and tweeted this:

Jussie Smollett- “A lil dance yesterday w/ my 👸🏾@MichelleObama.💃🏿🕺🏾It’s been a good week so far🙏🏿😬Thank you Mrs. Obama for always being so kind and just down. Proud of the 8,000 kids that came out for #CollegeSigningDay. It’s just the beginning for y’all. #BetterMakeRoom #SumOfMusicTour”

Michelle Obama Says She Will NOT Run For President

While we’re on the topic of our ‘forever First Lady,’ Mrs. Obama was recently interviewed by actress, Tracee Ellis Ross (Diana’s daughter), at the United States Of Women Summit. During that time, she put the stamp on why she will not ever run for president and she broke it down in the realest way possible:

“Well, that’s a whole other story because, that’s not the answer either. And when I hear people say, ‘You run,’ it’s part of the problem. We still didn’t get ‘Yes, we can’ right,” Michelle Obama said. “It’s not ‘Yes, you can,’ it’s ‘Yes, we can.’ And until we get that right, it doesn’t matter who runs.” […] Change starts close to home. So looking for the next person to run … I don’t mean to cut that off, but that’s been our distraction,” she said. “‘We’re going to wait for the next person to save us.’ We thought it was going to be Barack Obama, but he didn’t end racism.”

Ah well, if you were hoping the Harvard educated, high powered attorney would be giving us a reason to be happy about who’s in the White House again, Mrs. Obama just crushed that dream.

Sasha Obama Chillin’ With Cardi B & Offset

On a side note, Michelle Obama ain’t the only one in the Obama house who loves music. We already know her hubby is a self-proclaimed music lover and listed some of his favorite artists as Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and Kendrick Lamar. Their daughters love them some music and concerts too though. As When Rap Was Real recently reported:
Sasha is now 16 years old and the recent photos of her poppin’ up at Washington, D.C.’s Broccoli City Festival, to chill backstage with Cardi B and Offset (of the Migos) has everybody talking. Why are they talking? Well, for several reasons…

1. Where in the hell did the time go?!! Sasha’s facial features have matured and so has her overall look!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BiPzEdwB8Pf/

2. Many wondered what was Sasha doing hangin’ out with “Bodak Yellow” rapper and her rapper fiancee, Offset. Despite the many May-December comparisons we could make between Sasha’s pampered, secret service guarded lifestyle versus Offset’s and Cardi’s street roots, it was actually pretty cool to see that Sasha loves raw, uncut hip hop.

One of her friends, is former first lady (who will actually always be considered the first lady in my eyes), Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama, along  with several other superstars, recreated Beyonce’s look in her “Formation” video. She rocked an all black outfit, with a black dress and signature black wide brimmed hat to match. Michelle Obama has never made it a secret that she loves her some good R&B music and hip hop, so it was only natural for her to wanna show love to Beyonce.’

Beyonce also received a birthday shout out from her father, Matthew Knowles. He became overwhelmed with emotion as he stood in a hotel room balcony overlooking his ravaged city of Houston and reflecting on just how far his eldest child has come (see his tribute above).

How Beyonce’s Helping Her Houston Hometown

As Beyonce enjoys being a new mother all over again, with her twin newborns- son, Suri and daughter, Rumi, and of course her eldest child, Blue Ivy- she’s also not forgetting about her flood stricken hometown of Houston, TX. Beyonce’s donated what’s said to be a very large amount of money to Hurricane Harvey victims, by way of her church, headed by Pastor Rudy Rasmus. She’s also donated money through Greater Houston Community’s Foundation, as well as to her pastor’s non-profit organization, Bread of Life and to Texas Southern University, which was also flooded and in need of help for it’s students.

Happy birthday Beyonce’…36 is looking good on you mama.
