Cordae is listed as a contributor on ‘We the People' - an American animated television series, with Barack and Michelle Obama as its executive producers. The rapper performed a song about taxes in the series’ third episode “Taxes.”

Released in 2021, the series bagged the inaugural Children’s and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Form Program in December 2022.

Naomi Osaka’s boyfriend Cordae recently shared a heartening letter he received from Barack and Michelle Obama in January, following the Emmy win. The former President and First Lady acknowledged the rapper’s hard work and contribution.

“Congratulations on your Emmy! We are so proud to have worked with you on We The People. The Emmy is wonderful recognition of your hard work, but more important are the young people who are a little smarter and a little more civically minded as a result,” the letter read.
“Thank you for your hard work, it means a lot to us. We hope we can continue to find ways to work together, whether it’s at Higher Ground, the Obama Foundation or in your endeavors,” it concluded.

“I thank God I won my first Emmy ! EGOT is on the way… S/O to the Obamas for the oop,” he wrote.
