NEWSDonald Trump's Granddaughter Kai Sparks Controversy by Lip-Synching 'Promiscuous' in Her Last TikTok Before She Turned 18: Watch
In her last TikTok as a 17-year-old, Kai Trump and her friends mouthed along the words to Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous.'
Did Kai Trump cross the line?
On Sunday, May 11, the golfer posted a video of herself and three friends all dressed in black as they mouthed along the words to Nelly Furtado's song "Promiscuous" — and due to the girls' outfits and the tune's risqué lyrics, the clip sparked controversy.
Kai Trump Causes Controversy
Trump — who turned 18, on Monday, May 12 — captioned her post, "last day being 17 😢."
In the footage, the girls all stood in a line and struck a few poses as they lip-synched to the lyrics, "Promiscuous girl, you're teasing me/ You know what I want, and I got what you need."
As the video concluded, Donald Trump's granddaughter walked in front of her friends and crouched down to stop the recording.
How People Reacted
Kai Trump divided social media with this TikTok video.
As the video went viral, some people questioned why others found the clip inappropriate.
"Perhaps the line 'you know what I want, and I got what you need' might cause it?" one person said of the backlash. "These are children, and we have a crisis of pedophiles and perverts. I don't care if she is a Trump, if anything, that is cause for being held to a higher standard."
"She's cute but I think grandpa will have a talk with her. Decent, classy young ladies do not post things such as this," another person said, while a third penned, "That song choice tho 😬."
Others thought the criticism was unnecessary, with one individual asking, "Backlash for what? Being a kid? Most teens and young adults post much worse on the internet."
"She’s a young girl having innocent fun with her friends. My eyebrows are not raised! 🙄🙄🙄," a second supporter tweeted, with a third commenting, "That is so tame, what is the problem?"

Inside Kai Trump's Life
The teenager became a popular figure in the Trump family when she gave a speech at the RNC last year.
Kai, who's the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa, saw her stardom rise after she supported her famous grandfather at the Republican National Convention last year.
"To me, he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents are not looking," the high school student shared of their relationship. "He always wants to know how we’re doing in school. When I made the high honor roll, he printed it out to show his friends how proud he was of me."
"He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his — but then I have to remind him that I’m in school and I’ll have to call him back late," Kai continued. "When we play golf together, if I’m not on his team, he’ll try to get inside of my head and he’s always surprised I don’t let him get to me. But I have to remind him, I’m a Trump, too."
