United States (US) musicians and actors decided to celebrate former President Barack Obama on June 14.
On the very same day, the country’s current President Donald Trump celebrated his 74th birthday.
Instead of wishing President Trump a happy birthday, thousands of social media users declared the day #ObamaAppreciationDay in honour of Mr Obama.
Mariah Carey tweeted a photo of herself beaming with smiles alongside the former president and the First Lady, Michelle.
She captioned her post: “Happy #ObamaAppreciationDay!!”
