It isn’t every day that a rapper gets invited to attend the President of the United States’ birthday party. It definitely isn’t every day that one of the rappers invited is a former drug dealer signed to Kanye West‘s record label.
That’s exactly what happened this weekend, when Pusha T was invited to attend Barack Obama‘s birthday party, and his reaction tells us it was one for the books. Pusha, who generally is very composed on social media, was caught celebrating being one of the welcomed attendees at the weekend celebration, as well as reminding us of the exquisite nature of his outfit.

Obama, who turned 55 on Thursday, is quite familiar with Pusha. Earlier this year, POTUS invited several rap artists, including Busta Rhymes, J. Cole, Pusha and DJ Khaled, to the White House to discuss Hip Hop’s involvement with civil and social rights issues. Examining the wider political landscape, Pusha is still involved, and recently held a Facetime call with Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the thick of her race against Donald Trump.
When you watched the “Grindin’” video, did you think to yourself ‘the guy with all that hair will be barefoot in the White House celebrating the 55th birthday of the first Black president in 14 years?’
We didn’t either.
