Twitter users werenât the only ones laughing over a video of First Lady Melania Trump, 50, seemingly doing everything possible to not hold Donaldâs hand as they disembarked Air Force One in Maryland on Aug. 16. Some of the biggest names in the music industry â Rihanna, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg â all took turns at poking fun over the viral video! First up we have Rihanna, who created an excellent edit of the awkward moment using her very own song.
In Rihannaâs remastered version, which she posted to Instagram on Aug. 17, her single person anthem âNeeded Meâ played over the footage of Melania seemingly pulling her hand away from Donaldâs. âI was good on my own, thatâs the way it was / Thatâs the way it was,â Rihanna can be heard singing, which hilariously fit the moment playing out before fansâ eyes. Rihanna cheekily captioned the clip âMelania likes artâ with a shrugging emoji, along with the hashtag #78days. This was a reminder that the U.S.âs 2020 presidential election, which falls on Nov. 3, is just 78 days!
Next up we have 50 Cent, the master of trolling. The rapper and producer chose to be more straight forward for his Instagram post, in which he reshared the video of Melania and Donald and simply wrote, âshe donât want to hold his hand. LOL.â Not much else had to be said!

Finally, we have Snoop Dogg, who jumped into 50 Centâs comment section to add his own take on the marital moment. âTuff times,â the âYoung, Wild & Freeâ rapper wrote, and added a heartbreak emoji for emphasis.

Indeed, the video was âtuffâ for fans to watch from second hand embarrassment, since it appeared that Melania preferred to hold her Hermès Birkin purse over her husbandâs hand. Some Twitter users argued online, however, that Melania was just preoccupied with keeping her trench coat dress from flying up in the wind (although this isnât the first time sheâs been caught on camera seemingly refusing to accept Donaldâs hand, after accepting his hand in marriage in 2005).
Meanwhile, their 14-year-old son Barron Trump towered over his parentsâ heads as he followed closely behind. The family of three was touching down in Joint Base Andrews, a military facility.
