ormer frontman of rock band the White Stripes Jack White threw an insult at United States President Donald Trump during his New York Governors Ball performance.
In a video that has surfaced online of the performance, White stopped during his rendition of the White Stripes hit "Icky Thump" to let the crowd sing the song's final verse: "you can’t be a pimp and a prostitute too."
White then added: "Yeah, that’s for you Trump! You can’t be a pimp and a prostitute, too, Trump! Icky Trump! Icky Trump! Icky Trump! Icky Trump!

This is not the first time White has lodged an insult at Trump.
In an interview with British tabloid The Sun in March, White said Trump symbolized everything that was bad in America.
Also earlier this week, White was granted the key to the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. White is a native of Detroit, Michigan.
Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley presented White the key outside the building of King Records, home to artists like James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Otis Williams before the label folded in the 1970s. “Jack White has been an unfailing supporter of King Records,” Cranley said.
