Former US President Barrack Obama's half brother, Malik Obama, has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. His latest controversy involves a scathing attack on his brother, accusing him of denying him money to build their aunt a house.
According to Malik, Barrack spent the money on a $15 million family house, only to later claim he was broke. The allegations were made on Malik's official Twitter account, which was welcomed by Republicans.
Malik's feud with his brother dates back to the early 1990s, but never gained much attention until Barrack became a public figure. The spat has been marked by several incidents, including Malik's infamous acts such as marrying underage girls, brewing land disputes with family members, and neglecting his children.
Malik's most recent attempt at gaining attention was his 2013 bid for the Siaya Gubernatorial position, which he lost after garnering only 2,792 votes.
Malik's Twitter attack on his brother has sparked a heated debate, with many questioning his motives and the validity of his claims.
