The older half-brother of Barack Obama has reignited his disdain for the former U.S. president.
Malik Obama shared a throwback photo of him and Barack Obama on social media Sunday, calling him “fake ass (sic) a snake … when he was a nobody.”
Malik, who lives in Kenya but spends time in the U.S., re-posted the same photo Tuesday night that has since gone viral, explaining he had to bury family members without his half-brother at his side.
“I buried my children Kweku and Rashidah alone, I buried both my aunts Zeituni and Hawa Auma alone, I buried my mother Mama Kezia Obama alone, and I buried my grandmother Mama Sara Obama alone,” he wrote. “What kind of brother is that?”
He also used a homophobic slur to describe the former Democratic president.
Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
“I just wanted to be (his) big brother but he rejected me,” Malik added.
The older brother also shared a photo of himself wearing a “F BIDEN” baseball cap.
In 2020, Malik said his half-brother was “cold and ruthless” and accused him of abandoning his Kenyan family.
“He got rich and became a snob,” Malik told the New York Post. “What I saw was he was the kind of person that wants people to worship him. He needs to be worshipped and I don’t do that. I am his older brother so I don’t do that.”
The long and gradual falling out culminated in Malik supporting Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Malik founded a development and humanitarian foundation in the U.S. and named it after his father, Barack H. Obama Sr. The former U.S. president is not involved in the charity.
In a self-published book titled “Big Bad Brother From Kenya,” Malik described the tension between the half-siblings about the foundation after his younger brother was elected president in 2008.
“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,” Malik wrote about a call shortly before the 2009 inauguration.
“He had his reasons but I was not having any of it. We talked late into the night that night. He threatened to ‘cut me off’ if I continued with the idea.”
