Kai Trump has raised some eyebrows after posting a video to TikTok celebrating her final night as a 17-year-old.
The president’s granddaughter posted a clip of her and three of her friends posing to the song ‘Promiscuous’ by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland while they donned black dresses and high heels.
Kai, who turned 18 on Monday, lip-synced the cheeky lyrics to the 2006 hit with her friends as they posed in front of the camera.
The keen golfer, who is set to start at the University of Miami in the fall, uploaded the sweet clip with the caption: ‘Last day being 17,’ followed by a crying emoji.
Wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress with a white trim, black tights, and black heeled ankle boots, birthday girl Kai embellished the look with dainty hoop earrings, a watch, and a cross necklace.
The young ladies showed off their outfits, as the song played in the background: ‘I’m all yours, what you waiting for? Promiscuous girl, you’re teasing me. You know what I want, and I got what you need.’
Shortly after posting the video, Kai – the eldest child of Donald Trump Jr and Vanessa Haydon – received a wave of positive comments wishing her a happy birthday as others noted the flirty choice of song.
‘She’s such a sweet girl,’ one wrote. Another said: ‘Happy birthday eve. You are so beautiful. Could be a supermodel!! Future is bright. Wish you all the best.’

‘Let the girl be a girl! She’s killing it,’ another said. ‘Well I love the video,’ someone else added.
Others online were not so kind, pointing out that Kai singing to Promiscuous was inappropriate.
One wrote: ‘Cringe. Kai don’t sink to the levels of your peers. This is not giving the impression you think it is. Highly suggestive posting this song with an announcement of your turn of age.
‘You have so much ahead of you! Don’t let the world turn you in to average. Happy Birthday though.’
Another added to the criticism: ‘They are kids trying to act cool. They all look very weird and stiff. It’s like they would like to move and dance to this song, but they don’t know how to. It is embarrassing. Kai shouldn’t be doing this. She belongs to a different class of women. This is not suitable for her.’
But many supporters snapped back and said that the young woman did nothing wrong.
Responding to some of the backlash over the song choice, one person came to Kai’s defense: ‘Their clothing does not expose anything, the words to the song are suggestive, not graphic – no ‘h*e’ or ‘f**k.’
‘They’re just cute teenage girls goofing around.’
And another said: ‘There is nothing wrong with this video. These are young Ladies doing what young Ladies do. They were not portraying anything negative, and the song is not an indication of who they are.’
While a third added: ‘Now people care about music? Not after all the n-words and other slurs in the music industry, but only after Kai Trump post a snippet of the Promiscuous Girl song do people actually start to care about the inappropriateness of the music industry. Bunch of freaking hypocrites.’
Alongside the flood of happy birthday messages, other fans hinted that Kai may want to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps – but she’ll have a few more years to wait.
‘So in 17 more years you can be president? I’m in!’ the keen follower wrote.
Another added: ‘Thanks for being a great role model for girls of the US and around the world.’
Just days ago, Kai Trump made headlines as she named who she believes are the three ‘hottest’ golfers in her latest vlog.
She listed Ludvig Aberg at the top, Viktor Hovland second, and rounded out her list with Australian Adam Scott.
Kai made her selections while attending the Formula One’s Miami Grand Prix last weekend alongside best friend Emma Markin.
Markin also stated her top two, with Hovland and Trump ally Bryson DeChambeau as her top pair. She finished her list with Scott before looking up Aberg, as she was not familiar with the Swede.

After Kai pulled up a photo of Aberg on social media, Markin said, ‘Estoy de acuerdo’, which means, ‘I agree’ in English.
Markin makes frequent appearances on Kai Trump’s social media and in vlogs, with the duo spending last weekend with VIP access in Miami.
Kai donned an all-white outfit as she toured the track and got near the garages, while also posing with an unidentified friend in two of the images.
The 47th President, however, was not at the Miami Grand Prix this year, instead spending the weekend in Washington DC.
Kai has had an active social media presence ever since her appearance at the Republican National Convention last year.
She lives in Florida as her grandfather is based in Mar-A-Lago when not in the White House.
