Overview
- The White House’s official account shared an edited version of Drake’s Iceman cover that swapped in a diamond MAGA pendant and captioned it “ICED OUT.”
- The post landed the same day Drake surprise-released three projects and drew heavy criticism on X from users who questioned the move.
- The image quickly spawned counter-memes, including a widely shared edit that replaced the pendant text with “Epstein.”
- Drake had not commented on the White House post at the time of publication.
- The move continues a pattern of the Trump administration using popular music in messaging, which drew rebukes last year from Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo over DHS and ICE videos.
