WASHINGTON - Barack Obama’s kids Malia and Sasha got a loud shout out from their role model and R and B star Beyonce Knowles at her concert in Washington, D.C.

US first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters were the special guests of the show at the Verizon Centre.

According to the Washington Post, the Bootylicious singer even dedicated her “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It),” to the teen girls, reports Usmagazine.

“This is for Sasha and Malia — and all my single ladies!” she said.

Beyonce told Vogue magazine that Michelle considered her a role model for her girls.

“She told me she was very happy that her girls have someone like me to look up to,” Beyonce said.

“And I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’ You have to feel fortunate to be one of the people whom parents don’t mind their children looking up to,” she added. (ANI)
