Quincy Jones, who died on October 3, once told New York magazine's David Marchese in 2018 that he went on a date with former President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, in 2006 when he was 73 and Ivanka was 25.

In the interview, Jones said,

"Twelve years ago, Tommy Hilfiger, who was working with my daughter Kidada, said, 'Ivanka wants to have a dinner with you.' I said, 'No problem. She's a fine mo**********.' She had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong father, though."

The music legend was surrounded by his family at his home in the Bel Air area in Los Angeles at the time of his death. However, the cause of death remains unknown. Jones' daughter Rashida Jones, in a statement said,

"Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones' passing. And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him."

Quincy Jones calls Trump a "megalomaniac" and "narcissistic"

While discussing his dating life and his date with Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, Quincy Jones talked about the racism in the United States and how Donald Trump's rhetoric encouraged people to be openly racist. In the interview, he added,

"Trump is just telling them what they want to hear. I used to hang out with him. He's a crazy motherf***er. Limited mentally - a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can't stand him. A symphony conductor knows more about how to lead than most businesspeople - more than Trump does. He doesn't know s***. Someone who knows about real leadership wouldn't have as many people against him as he does. He's a f***** idiot."

The music producer dated many women despite being married three times: first to his high-school sweetheart, Jeri Caldwell, until 1966, then with Ulla Anderson until 1974, and finally to Peggy Lipton, whom he married in 1989. In a 2018 interview with GQ, Quincy Jones revealed that he has 22 girlfriends from everywhere, including "Cape Town, Cairo, Stockholm, Brazil, Belo Horizonte, Sao Paulo, Rio, and Shanghai.

When asked if his girlfriends knew about one another, Quincy said, "Yeah, I don't lie." The singer also said that his daughters restricted his age-gap romances and told him he can't go out with girls younger than him."
