The tracks included “Drive and Disconnect” by Nao, “Lowkey” by Teyana Taylor featuring Erykah Badu, and “Pink Youth” by our girl Yuna featuring Little Simz, among many others!
According to Complex, after debuting the podcast last month (which features her husband and also the former President of The United States, Barack Obama), her podcast quickly became the biggest podcast launch in Spotify history.
Well, we expect nothing less from one of America’s favourite First Lady!
