One of the first leaked Instagram photos rumoured to be of Malia Obama is here. According to recent reports, an alleged photo of Malia has leaked online and is published on Instagram, she is wearing a T-shirt by American hip-hop group Pro Era.

Multiple sources, including The Verge and Sydney Morning Herald, have declared that elder daughter of U.S. President Barack Obama's rumoredly leaked photo is circulating online . The photograph mysteriously appeared online on Monday and is now used by "Pro Era" rap crew to promote their merchandise.

It is confirmed by Gawker that the recently appeared photo of the prominent teenager is now being used by Pro Era group for online advertising. The co-founder of the group and hip hop artist Joey Bada$$ is claiming via an email to Gawker that they have received the controversial photo from "a mutual friend of Malia and the pro era member."

It is yet not clear whether the photograph actually belongs to U.S.'s first daughter or not. Obama's girls' use of social media is reportedly highly restricted. Their social media presence is famously maintained and controlled by social strategy professionals of the White House.

U.S. first lady Michelle Obama had once admitted in an interview with Barbara Walters,published by People.com in November 2013 that Malia has got very restricted access to social media sites like Facebook and her younger daughter Sasha has no access at all due to her young age. "I still am not a big believer in Facebook for young people..." gushed the mother of two teenage girls of White House "particularly for them, because they're in the public eye."

It is reported that the Obamas also will not approve of their daughter's attachment with the rapper Joey Bada$$.The rapper was recently in Sydney and has been charged with assault for allegedly punching a security guard in the face at the Falls Music Festival near Byron Bay, reported by New York Daily. The security guard was left with a broken nose and other severe facial injuries. The fact that "Pro Era" is allegedly using the rumoured photograph of Malia for advertising without any notice or prior approval will reportedly spark further controversies.

The identity of the girl in the controversial photograph is still not confirmed, but Sydney Morning Herald has pointed out many reasons to believe that it is indeed Malia's picture. The remarkable facial similarity and the teenager's reportedly known liking for 'Pro Era group' are indicating that the leaked photo can be of the young teenager. Meanwhile, White House has not commented anything on the controversial Instagram photograph.
