Do you ever sit back and wonder what your favorite celebrities from back in the good old days are doing? Who wouldn’t want to check in on some of those one-hit wonders who made our childhood true peak adolescence? We can’t give you the exact whereabouts of everyone, but social media has certainly helped to make the “Where are they now?” game a bit easier to play. If you’re worried about Robert Matthew Van Winkle, we’ve got you covered. Robert, Mr. Vanilla Ice himself, spent New Year’s Eve at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, partying with the Trumps. And it was just as wild as you can imagine.

Vanilla Ice Can Still Rock the Mic Like a Vandal
However, whether he’s waxing chumps like a candle is still up for debate. Donald Trump Jr. shared a video of Vanilla Ice’s New Year’s Eve performance on Instagram, where it’s been viewed 1.6 million times. The president’s son is 48 years old, so he definitely fits into the demographic that loved Ice Ice Baby in the early 1990s. The rest of the crowd in the room looked just as excited, including President Trump, who danced right along. Fans loved watching Vanilla Ice play his dope melody.
“Ringing in the new year right. ICE ICE Baby!!!” Donald Trump Jr. captioned his Instagram post.
“Absolutely EPIC way to end 2025 trolling the left with ICE ICE BABY,” a fan wrote.
So many agreed.
“Loved the music as a kid and still love it to this day!!!!” Someone posted.
“Love it! As a Gen X who grew up in Miami, I’m here for this! I love that he’s at Mar-a-Lago with our amazing present!!!!” Another fan agreed.
Of course, plenty of people left negative comments, but that didn’t seem to matter to Donald Trump Jr., who we imagine would simply quote Vanilla Ice’s own prophetic words, “Love it or leave it, you better gangway.”
