(AllHipHop News) When the world saw First Daughter Malia Obama rocking a Pro Era t-shirt, it was almost like an unofficial presidential endorsement for the Brooklyn based Hip Hop crew. But according to Gawker, the White House is now trying to find out how that picture of the 16-year-old made its way to the Internet.

A representative for P.E. front man Joey Bada$$ told the website the photo was provided by a “mutual friend” of Malia and someone in the group. The pic then ended up on the proera47 Instagram page.

First Lady Michelle Obama has been very protective of her daughters’ presence online. She reportedly only allows Malia to use Facebook, and her sister Sasha is prevented from using social media platforms.

Joey took to Twitter to respond to the reported investigation. The “Teach Me” rhymer sent more love to Malia before addressing the White House.
