It was intended to be a humorous post commemorating a significant occasion. However, the internet was inundated with criticism, adulation, and everything in between when Kai Trump posted a video to TikTok before her eighteenth birthday.
After sharing a video of her last night as a 17-year-old on TikTok, Kai Trump is receiving a lot of attention. Hours before turning eighteen, Kai shared a brief video of herself and three of her friends lip-syncing and dancing to Nelly Furtado and Timbaland’s 2006 hit song “Promiscuous.”

Kai dressed to impress for the special occasion. She wore black tights and a black off-the-shoulder dress with white trim. She added heeled ankle boots to complete the ensemble. Kai accessorized the ensemble with a cross necklace, a watch, and tiny hoop earrings.

The theme also applied to her friends. The three women, all wearing black dresses, made playful poses for the camera while lip-syncing to the obscene lyrics. Kai captioned the video, “Last day being 17,” and then included a teary-eyed emoji.

The group swayed to the song’s lyrics as the camera rolled. The video was not overlooked. It quickly became a hot topic of discussion on social media.
A lot of viewers criticized the song selection. People were taken aback by its obscene lyrics and the fact that Kai was turning eighteen. The tone and timing were deemed inappropriate by critics.
“Cringe,” said one social media user on X. Don’t let your peers drag you down, Kai. The impression you believe this to be is not being given. Posting this song along with an announcement of your turning age is highly suggestive. You still have a lot of work to do! Don’t allow the world to make you mediocre. However, happy birthday.
“They are kids trying to act cool,” said another commenter. They all appear stiff and strange. They seem to want to dance and move to this song, but they are unsure of how to do it. It’s embarrassing. Kai ought not to be acting in this way. She is a woman of a different class. This isn’t appropriate for her.
Others were blunter: One person wrote, “Not a good look.” “I watched this several dozen times, and yes, it is entirely inappropriate,” another person wrote. Some viewers made predictions about her family’s reaction. “She’s cute, but I think grandpa will have a talk with her,” someone wrote on social media. Classy, decent young women don’t post things like this.

However, not all of the criticism was negative. Kai’s freedom of expression was defended by some. “For what purpose? Being a girl in her teens? Kai seems to be a very good parent. One advocate argued, “Leave her alone.” “She’s young and having fun,” said another.
