Yes, you heard me right. The First Lady of the United States has released a rap song, complete with an accompanying music video, which has both baffled and delighted the online world. In a recent statement, Obama explained her motivation for making the video:

“I want to honor and empower young people who are working hard in school and pursuing their dreams – and I want to do it in a fresh and fun way,”

As you can probably imagine, it didn't take long for the Twittersphere to react, and #FlotusBars was born. The hashtag features floods of people creating their own lyrics for the First Lady, ranging from the bizarre to pure comedy genius. We've included a few of our favourites below.




Sam Reich, Head of Video over at CollegeHumor, has already called for Obama to "cut an album". All we need now is a collaboration with Francis' #PopeBars. Or better yet, a rap battle.
