Ice, Ice, Baby: Rapper Vanilla Ice Takes Center Stage At Trump's Mar-A-Lago New Year's Eve Party

The New Year’s Eve celebration at Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago resort featured a performance by ’90s rapper Vanilla Ice, marking one of the first trending musical acts of 2024.

As reported by The Hill on Wednesday, the party also included appearances by a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and an Elvis impersonator. Vanilla Ice, also known as Rob Van Winkle, entertained the crowd at the former president’s property.

Videos show Trump enjoying the performances, while also delivering a speech to attendees. He mentioned that former first lady Melania Trump was absent, spending the holiday at a Miami hospital with her mother.

Trump also humorously noted that Mar-a-Lago members were “scalping tickets” for the event and briefly touched upon politics, specifically the upcoming Iowa GOP caucuses. “We’re going to have a fantastic year. Our country has gone to hell but we’re going to turn it around, we’re going to turn it around quickly,” Trump stated.

Roger Stone, a conservative political consultant pardoned by Trump in 2020, was among the party’s guests.
