T.I. has caused a little upset in the White House

Melania Trump has called for a boycott over T.I.s disrespectful music video.

Last week, T.I. released a promo clip for his new album, Dime Trap, which features a naked lookalike of the US First Lady in the Oval Office.

Needless to say, the real Melania was less than thrilled with the NSFW video and has slammed T.I., real name Clifford Harris, for the disgusting clip.

Stephanie Grisham, Melanias director of communications, said in a statement released to People: Like it or not, she is the first lady and this is the White House.

Its disrespectful and disgusting to portray her this way simply because of politics. These kinds of vulgar attacks only further the divisiveness and bias in our country — it needs to stop.

Initially reacting to the video, Stephanie also tweeted on Saturday: How is this acceptable? #disgusting #boycottT.I.

The short clip includes real footage of President Donald Trump boarding a helicopter at the White House, before cutting to T.I. hanging out in the Oval office and lighting a cigar.

Lookalike Melania then struts in wearing nothing but a version of the First Ladys controversial I Really Dont Care khaki jacket. Before long, the woman hops aboard Trumps desk and begins writhing around before they strut off together.

Now Ive been extremely patient and made it a point to not jump to any premature conclusions about Ye& his antics… Partially due to the lessons learned from the outcome of other similar situations dealing wit my brother Wayne (which I admittedly mishandled a bit in hindsight) But now this shit is next level,futuristic Sambo,Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django ass shit Ye!!!! From what I can gather… This is the most repulsive,disgraceful, Embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of ones soul to gain power Ive ever seen. Now I recall you asking me to come with you to have this meeting and I declined (naturally)… but bro… if aintime I wouldve been in there wit you and you behaved that spinelessly in my presence,I feel that Id be compelled to slap deFuq outta you bro For the People!!! You ass kissing and boot licking on a whole new level &I refuse to associate myself with something so vile,weak,& inconsiderate to the effect this has on the greater good of ALL OUR PEOPLE!!!! Im a true believer in “It aint what you do,its how you do it.” And this shit is regurgitating?! At one time it was a pleasure to work alongside you… now, Im ashamed to have ever been associated with you. To all the people who follow Ye musically,socially, or even personally….who are confused, heartbroken, infuriated…. Let me make this clear… THIS SHIT AINT COOL!!! THIS IS A MOVE YE MADE FOR YE!!! THIS IS A PLAY TO PUT HIM IN A POSITION HED LIKE TO SEE HIMSELF IN…WE ARE NOT ON HIS MIND AS HE MAKES THESE COMMENTS AND DECISIONS. Dont follow this puppet. Because as long as Ive lived Ive learned that it benefits a man nothing at all to gain the world,if to do so he must lose his soul. We just saw Mr.Wests Soul on auction. If you listen closely you can hear the tears of our ancestors hit the floor. All I can say is… Ive reached my limits. This is my stop,Im officially DONE!!!! ??Trump & His Lil Cookie Boy. #USorELSE✊?

Its no surprise that T.I. has taken a political direction with his new music after the rapper heavily criticised Kanye West for supporting Trump.
