Questlove told a hilarious story about playing a French Montana song at a DJ gig he once played at the White House on Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell and Bruce Headlam’s Broken Record podcast.

On the March 26 episode, the Roots drummer recalls deejaying a party for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House in 2016. During the shindig, then-President Obama walked up to Questo to tell him that he was doing a great job.

And then, according to Questlove, Obama made a strange song request.
"So two hours into it, he taps me on the shoulder, 'You’re doing a good job! I love the Donna Summer and the old school hip-hop and the jazz. But look at them, they wanna have fun too!’ And he’s pointing to his kids. They’re having a sit-in," he explained while doing his best impression of Obama.
