Barack Obama always likes to keep himself updated with the latest trends. Be it Instagram, Twitter, or even Snapchat, he tends to keep track of everything about what is trending out there. Now, the former president of the United States has come forward in raising awareness about voting in the upcoming elections and revealed that he has a “finsta” account to his name.

For the uninitiated, a “finsta” account is a secret Instagram account that people make to keep track of what is happening on social media.

The 44th president of the U.S. recently shared a funny video on his official Twitter account encouraging youngsters to vote in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. In the video, he disclosed that he learned a lot from young people while living in quarantine including the Renegade challenge. Obama then said that he has been enjoying the Renegade challenge through his “finsta” account.

As soon as the video surfaced online, many social media users went berserk and began to look for Obama’s finsta account. One of them said that now that she knows Obama has a finsta account, she won’t be able to live peacefully until she finds it.

Another user joked that the video made him realize that the former POTUS has a finsta account and he must find out what’s on it.

“What I got from this is that President Obama has a finsta and I /MUST/ know what’s on it,” a user commented.

“I wanna know what Obama posts on his finsta,” another user wrote.

“Just watched an IGTV video where Barack Obama said he made a finsta during quarantine so I will no longer be able to think about anything else thank you ,” @snowphh wrote on Twitter.

Obama also used a lot of dad jokes in the video and urged youngsters to register to vote.

Apart from Obama, celebrities like Sophie Turner, Bella Hadid, Justin Bieber, Lorde, Prince Harry, Margot Robbie, and Ariana Grande also have secret Instagram profiles, according to People.

The revelation comes almost a month after the former president revealed his 2020 summer playlist. The list he shared on social media features songs from artists like Billie Eilish, Beyonce, Megan Thee Stallion, and many more.

The songs he liked included Billie Eilish’s “My Future,” Beyonce’s “Already,” and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage Remix.” The list also included tracks from legendary performers like Bob Marley, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Dylan.
