Melania Trump isn't happy with rapper T.I.

A spokesperson for Melania called out the Atlanta rapper following the release of his music video "Dear 45, I ain't Kanye," which features a lookalike of the FLOTUS performing a striptease and dancing naked on a replica of the president's desk in the Oval Office.

The video also finds the lookalike wearing a green jacket that says "I really don't care, do u?" in reference to the "I really don't care" jacket Melania wore on her way to visit detained immigrant children in Texas in June.

"How is this acceptable?" Stephanie Grisham, Melania's communications director, wrote on Twitter along with the hashtags #disgusting and #boycottTI.

Melania's official Twitter also retweeted Grisham's tweet.

T.I. has yet to respond to Melania but he's been vocal about his dislike of her husband, Donald Trump. Recently, the rapper spoke out against Trump and Kanye West's meeting. He took to Instagram last week to share a video news clip of West saying, "I love this guy," while embracing Trump, and captioned the post, "This is the most repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of one's soul to gain power I've ever seen."

He also revealed West invited him to accompany him during the White House visit, but he declined.

T.I. wrote, "You ass kissing and bootlicking on a whole new level. I refuse to associate myself with something so vile, weak, and inconsiderate to the effect this has on the greater good of all our people," before adding that he wants to "slap the f**k" out of West.
