During her performance on the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center, Tems paused to acknowledge Sasha Obama in the gang. Nevertheless, as a substitute of calling her Sasha, the Grammy-winning singer by chance referred to her as “Sandra,” immediately sparking reactions online. The combination-up quickly made its rounds across social media, with fans mentioning the awkward but relatable moment.
