Melania Trump’s Spokeswoman Calls For T.I. Boycott After Rapper Airs Racy Video With First Lady Look-Alike
Tip ‘T.I.’ Harris released a new music video this week featuring a Melania Trump look-alike and the first lady’s press team is not happy.
The rapper’s latest racy video is for an unnamed song off his new album Dime Trap and shows a Melania doppelgänger dancing suggestively in the Oval Office next to T.I. She is first shown wearing heels and the first lady’s infamous green “I really don’t care, do you?” jacket that she wore while visiting immigrants at the border, but then throws it off and appears to be completely naked.
In a tweet sharing the video, T.I. wrote to President Donald Trump, “Dear 45, I ain’t Kanye,” a clear dig at both Trump and Kanye West, who met together at the White House last week in a highly-publicized encounter.
“How is this acceptable,” Melania’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham tweeted, adding the hashtags ‘#disgusting” and “#boycott.”
The music video begins with an audio clip of a reporter saying, “Melania Trump did not go to Mar-a-Lago with the president this weekend, which has a lot of people wondering…”
T.I. is also shown smoking a cigar in the Oval Office, and a portrait of Trump is briefly seen being defaced.

In a recent interview with ABC News, Melania said the jacket shown in the video was a veiled criticism of the media, which — along with many people on social media — has often slammed her for her attire.
Although T.I. hasn’t explicitly called out Melania for anything, he did criticize West after the rapper met with Trump, saying he his “officially done” with his fellow hip-hop artist.
“This is the most repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of one’s soul to gain power I’ve ever seen,” T.I. wrote on Instagram about the meeting between the pair. “If you listen closely you can hear the tears of our ancestors hit the floor.”
