DJ D-Nice and Michelle Obama Got Thousands Registered to Vote During Instagram Live ‘Couch Party’

Chaka Khan, Oprah Winfrey, Timbaland, and more joined the party.

DJ D-Nice is on fire and he doesn’t seem to be cooling down any time soon. On Wednesday, the Bronx native hosted another Instagram Live session.

This time around, he and Michelle Obama arranged the party in collaboration with the former First Lady’s voter registration organization When We All Vote.

D-Nice’s set featured funk, R&B, and house jams from Stevie Wonder, Stephanie Mills, Prince, James Brown, and more. Mrs. Obama even chimed in “that’s my jam!” when D-Nice played the 1992 house track “Follow Me” by Aly-Us.

Before the party got started, the goal was to get 50,000 people registered to vote. According to a When We All Vote spokesperson, 407,824 eligible voters texted the group. Nearly 13,000 either started or completed the registration process.
