"He Got Rich and Became a Snob": Malik Obama Unleashes Fresh Attack on His Half-Brother Barack Obama

"He Got Rich and Became a Snob": Malik Obama Unleashes Fresh Attack on His Half-Brother Barack Obama

Barack Obama's half-brother Malik Obama has unleashed a fresh attack on the 44th US President, describing him as a snob.

Malik in a recent interview with the New York Post, which was published on Saturday, claimed Obama turned into a snob after becoming rich.

“He got rich and became a snob. What I saw was he was the kind of person that wants people to worship him. He needs to be worshiped and I don't do that. I am his older brother so I don't do that,” said Malik, 62.

The interview done via Skype from his home in Nyang'oma Kogelo village, Siaya County, was meant to promote his new book dubbed ‘Big Bad Brother From Kenya.’

The 435-page memoir, which allegedly took him 22 years to write, details his fallout with Obama.

During the interview, Malik made it clear that he is supporting President Trump’s reelection bid. In 2016, he backed Trump against Hillary Clinton.

“[I'm] 110% still with Trump. He's not fake. He tells us the way he sees it. He's bold and fearless and he's tough,” added Malik.

He went on to mock Democratic nominee Joe Biden, terming him as too old and weak to win.

“I don't think he's going to make it. His teeth are falling off. He looks like he's going to drop dead.”

Malik and Barack are sons of Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Kenyan economist who died in a car accident in 1982.

The two first met in 1985 when Barack was 24 and enjoyed a close relationship for years before falling out after Barack was elected US President in 2009. Malik acted as Obama’s best man at his wedding to Michelle in 1992.

The fallout was allegedly sparked by disputes over which Kenyan relatives would be invited to Barack’s inauguration, among other things.

The two are also alleged to have disagreed over Malik’s decision to create 'Barack H. Obama Foundation,' named after their father, soon after Barack’s election in 2009.

“We had a big fight on the phone because he was not in support and insisted I shut down the website and not continue with the foundation. He had his reasons but I was not having any of it,” Malik writes in his book.

“We talked late into the night that night. He threatened to 'cut me off' if I continued with the idea.”

Malik further recounts how Barack declined to give the family $20,000 in 2014 to ferry the body of their aunt Zeituni Onyango to Kenya for burial. She died poor in the US. He claims Barack said the amount was too much and only gave them $5,000.

“We needed to pay for the bills and the cost of her transportation back to Kenya. [Barack] asked me how much and I told him roughly $20,000. This was too much he said,” he writes.

“She really had been good to him. I don’t understand how somebody who claimed to be a relative or a brother can behave the way that he’s behaving, be so cold and ruthless, and just turn his back on the people he said were his family.”

Malik, who stopped you from getting rich too. You are suffering from jealousy. If only you had a speck of respect for your brother, he would jump to help you when need arises. But the hate and poison you have venomously spit makes you a total loser.

Losers always look for ways to trash other successful relatives.
Sell your book and make your own money.
Pesa za Baraka ni zake, not for relatives.
Zako ni zako.
People help because they want to help,but not through force or intimidation.

Omg jealousy is the worst killer, why are you always going after your young brother, you aren’t a leader in any formal relationship you are a looser.malik.

I think Malik doesn’t understand Barack Obama very well. He wouldn’t let anyone take advantage of him just because you’re a brother or friend. He’s so dignified in a way that you can’t match him. Turnishing his name as a brother already tells us what kind of a person you are Malik, so jealous, demanding, and not likable. At 60s you should concentrate on the Bible or Holy Quran instead of fighting your successful kid bro.

Really @kahiga! What is so stingy about Obama guarding his hard earned money! You gold diggers want everything given to you on a silver platter without working for it! What a shame that some African still believe everything should be handed to them for free!!

Come on Milaki - you are a typical Kenyan who thinks those who have accomplished more than you need to support you! The under class naive mentality idiotic Kenyans have held on for generations past!

You lived in America, right?? How come you did not make enough money to help those you wish to support in your Luo community? What you are saying here is pure nonsense and you ought to be ashamed of your damn self!

Please Obama’s immediate family is made up of Michelle, Maria and Sasha!

The rest of you are just ticks looking for a cow from which to suck blood! It is not Mr. Obama’s responsibility to burry your uncles and aunts, you included when you die!

You are showing your faint ignorance and jealous of your junior brother! He has all the right to be a snob and that is not your business! Stop acting like a damn fool! Enough is enough of your nonsense!

Shut your diarrhea-ring mouth Malik! How damn can you be, and still breath!? You sound the most stupid man in the planet!

I wish the law could allow me to slap your freaking mouth! Obama is not your damn equal! Go consult with your lunatic friend at the White House! Gee fool - shut up or I piss in your ugly mouth!!

Margrer (not verified)     Sun, 08/02/2020 @ 05:40pm

All those Malik have mentioned here should have worked hard enough like Obama did! Why should Obama be asked to burry relatives of whom he does not know much about?

It is quite disheartening, shameful, and irresponsible when a black ass Malik to keep insulting President Obama for no apparent reason! This beggar needs to get a j.o.b and a stupid life!! Your book will fail like you have been a failure in life!

Rose (not verified)     Sun, 08/02/2020 @ 05:43pm

“He got rich and became a snob”! Malik - you could have worked equally hard just like Obama did to be rich and be a snob!! You are purely talking baloney here attacking Obama for nothing! Stop it damn you!

Rashid (not verified)     Sun, 08/02/2020 @ 05:49pm

Some societies, like the one Malik, hails from have such weird ways of life and beliefs!

Why should Malik think it is Obama’s responsibility to burry all the poor family members!? This is very strange indeed!!

Obama became rich through hard work, sweat and much ridicule! Malik, you have no sense of decency at all to attack Obama for his hard earned riches!!

Godhavemercy (not verified)     Sun, 08/02/2020 @ 09:08pm

Pure jealousy. You will never be anywhere nor achieve anything like President Obama. He is a great man. He is already in history books. Go to hell fool and stay there.

Anthony (not verified)     Sun, 08/02/2020 @ 09:34pm

I would disown this stupid man if I were Obama! He is very mannerless! Obama is not your father to feed you grown rear end!

Maitima (not verified)     Sun, 08/02/2020 @ 09:38pm

Are the claims by Malik something any normal human being expect President Obama to respond to? Obama needs to forget that relatives link back in Kenya! Most of them are just worthless trashy gold diggers.

Kuna msemo katika lugha tukufu ya Kiembu ambao unasema, "Mucera na mukundu akundukaga take." Tafsiri yake ni hii, "Ukishirikiana na mtu mwenye upele, nawe pia utapata upele."

Ajabu! Ndugu Malik kwa nini unaebdelea kumwuunga mkono Ndugu Donald ili aendelee kuwa kiongozi wa nchi ya Marekani? Je, umesahau ya kwamba rafiki yako aliwatenganisha watoto wadogo mbali na wazazi wao kwenye mpaka ulio kusini ya Marekani wakati walipojitahidi kuyarekebisha maisha yao kiuchumi kwa kusafiri Marekani kama vile wazazi wa Ndugu Donald walivyofanya wakati mamake mzazi alipohamia Marekani kutoka Scotland na babu yake kutoka nchi ya Ujerumani?

Ndugu Malik: Kwa nini unataka kusahau vile Ndugu yako Barack alivyofanya kazi kwa bidii sana ili afikie kiwango cha kuchaguliwa kiongozi wa nchi ya marekani.

Dada yako Auma alisema hivi: " ...You are your future. You are responsible for what becomes of your life. Nobody else..." Naomba umwache kakako Ndugu Barack aendelee na maisha yake pamoja na familia yake na wewe ujitahidi kuboresha maisha yako pamoja na yale ya familia yako bile kuendelea kuwa kupe (tick).

Well, Like him or not, the man is entitled to his own opinion and has a right to discuss his family matters as he sees. Many here seem to have that kenyan mentality of equating wealth and power with "respect" or "worship". Thats why Kenya is as backward with its adoration of govt goons with titles. The man is principled and doesnt ass kiss for anyone prez or no prez. Think how our society would be if we regarded wealthy people just as everyone. The rich wouldnt like it but for the rest, the theft and corruption of today would end abruptly. Bwana mkubwa or not, you have to be accountable for your actions. As for that 5k vs 20k burial fee, I havent read his book and we dont know the details, but if Trumps web designer Parscale is now a multimillionaire in 5 years, paying Trumps son's girlfriend 15k monthly then surely to send off your supportive aunt to rest should not have to make the fam sweat it out. I hear she lived in section 8 housing so I think he may have a point. I dont condone free handouts but when you see how his campaign donors like Solyndra were awarded hundreds of millions US tax $$ and STILL went bankrupt, you got to wonder. Remember charity begins at home. For those of you who dont know how $$$ flows in the U.S. its just a tidier version of how the Mpigs eat back home when in power, but with steroids. At any rate, Malik's issue doesnt seem to be that he resent his wealth, rather that this wealth/power caused a shift in his small bro's thinking. You recall how the best activists and people watchmen change once they get to parliament? Same thing here. I get his point.

How much is malik helping out to his less fortunate relatives?If Obama said 20,000 was too much who is he to despute.Does he know Obama's budget?Stop this entitlement mentality and ask for forgiveness and probably Obama might show you,or give you pointers on how to make money. By the way have you asked Trump just to give your 5million out of his billions.Try and let us know his response.

The fool wanting free money from his junior brother lived in the USA. He should understand how tough earning $20K is! He does not have it either but he wants Obama to produce it on demand! What a freaking fool!!
