"Mrs Obama is worth all that! Happy birthday to her, a QUEEN and an ICON, the best to ever do it!" commented a fan on the post.

Beyonce has paid tribute to Michelle Obama on another occasion as well. In 2012, she published an open letter to the then FLOTUS and told the world she looks up to Michelle Obama as a role model.

In the note, she called Obama a great example of strength. She also praised Obama's character and sincerity.
