The Hypocritical Event of the Year Award Goes to…Obama’s 60th Birthday Bash

Former President Barack Obama’s ‘scaled down’ 60th birthday bash was apparently anything but. While the former president’s colleagues, friends and celebrities publicly bash anyone attempting to enjoy an ounce of freedom during the global coronavirus pandemic, they were guilty as charged.

Guests transporting to and from the Martha’s vineyard birthday location reportedly caused a traffic’s—t show’; that’s how ‘scaled down’ it was. But one performer, Rapper Trap Beckham and manager TJ Chapman were able to get photographic evidence of the ‘not small at all’, small party. The two discreetly shared photos on Instagram until they were forced to delete them.

The New York Post reports the two “snapped pics of the event’s high-end food, drink and swag offerings and talked to their followers as the party unfolded, according to screenshots of the posts, which were later deleted under the event’s photography ban.”

Amongst the photos were pictures of the artist and his handler smoking weed, which is legal in the state of Massachusetts. Other photos showed the open bar full of top-shelf liquor, cigars, and s’mores cocktails complete with melted marshmallows. As for the food, “despite Questlove being enlisted to coordinate a meat-free menu, photos showed that steak, chicken and shrimp were also available, with rice, greens and potatoes on the side.”

The New York Post reports of the bash:

Gold napkins, masks and backstage passes were emblazoned with 44X60, a reference to the 44th president’s 60th birthday, and bathroom amenities included antiperspirant wipes, a lint roller and Advil, according to the pictures.

Beckham, who reportedly performed a version of his hit “Birthday B—h” for the prez — who was also sung to by Alicia Keys and John Legend, later posted about the party.

“Had to delete everything due to the rules,” Beckham reportedly explained. “It was epic for sure. If any videos surface it’s going viral. He danced the whole time. Nobody ever seen Obama like this before.”

By 1 a.m., the “scaled-down” shindig had officially petered out, as throngs of famous guests and workers clogged the roads of small-town Oak Bluffs, creating a “s–t show” of traffic congestion on the resort island, police said.

Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Jennifer Hudson, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Bruce Springsteen, Erykah Badu, Steven Colbert and John Kerry were just some of the rumored celebrity guests at the seaside affair.
