Donald Glover has confirmed that he’s hired Malia Obama as a writer on his forthcoming Amazon series, tentatively titled “Hive.”

Insisting that the former first daughter, 23, wasn’t a beneficiary of nepotism.

“She’s just, like, an amazingly talented person,” Glover cooed off Malia. “She’s focused, and she’s working hard.”
