The star has written an open letter to US First Lady Michelle Obama on her website, in which she praises her for being a fantastic role model.
“Michelle, thank you so much for every single think that u do for us – I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to (sic),” she wrote.

The singer has been impressed with the way Michelle has juggled raising two daughters with living in the public eye.
“Michelle is the ULTIMATE example of a truly strong African American woman. She is a caring mother, she’s a loving wife, while at the same time, she is the FIRST LADY!!!!,” she wrote.
“No matter the pressure, and the stress of being under the microscope – she’s humble, loving and sincere (sic).”
