Whoomp! (There He Isn't) -- Barack Look-Alike LA Sno Speaks Out

Last week, Barack Obama became embroiled in perhaps one of the strangest conspiracy theories in presidential history. Rumors circulated widely on the Internet asserted that our current commander in chief made a cameo appearance in hip-hop one-hit-wonder Tag Team's 1993 video for "Whoomp! (There it is)" video.

The rumor was quickly debunked, as it turned out that the Barack doppelganger was actually rapper LA Sno, one-half of the rap duo Dewce (formerly known as Duice). As Asylum's White House correspondent, I felt duty-bound to investigate further, so I reached out to LA Sno to get to the bottom of this controversy.

Sno first heard about the rumor from a Facebook friend. He thought it was a joke. When a Memphis TV station reached out to a buddy of his to get his contact info, he did a Web search and found out the story was the real deal.

"Any time I can be mentioned in the same conversation with Barack Obama is just off the chain," says Sno, a self-described "big fan" of the president who is basking in the glow of the public attention.

Sno says this is the first time he has been mistaken for the president. As you can see from the cover of Dewce's upcoming single "Rock Dem Dazzees," (a follow-up to their own 1993 hit, "Dazzey Duks"), Sno (rocking the shades on the left) doesn't actually look that much like Obama.

Still, there are bound to be "Whoompers" who will refuse to believe it's not the president, no matter what evidence you present to them. LA Sno has a fairly simple prescription for those folks: "They probably need to have President Obama and me meet each other. That way, we can clear it up."

Despite this link with President Obama, LA Sno has no plans to enter politics himself. He and Dewce partner Creo-D have a reality show in the works, in addition to the July release of "Rock Dem Dazzees."

"It's called 'America in Dazzee Dukes,' Sno says. "It's a nationwide search for girls wearing Daisy Duke shorts." Sounds like a premise we can all get behind.
