Outgoing American President Barack Obama is known for what some have termed ‘hood’ antics.

In a seemingly emotional speech, Obama addressed his last White House Correspondent’s Dinner today, thanking his audience for “working side by side to strengthen our (American) democracy.”

However, the highlight of the night was on how Obama ended his speech.

“So I wanna close my final White House correspondents’ dinner by just saying thank you. With that, I just have two more words to say, Obama out…”

He then proceeded to kiss his left hand’s index and middle fingers while holding the mic in the left hand. After about two seconds, an emotional Obama dropped the mic(hip-hop style) and walked off the stage.

What a grand exit.
