From City Hall to the White House, Reaction Floods Social Media After Drake’s ‘ICEMAN’ Drop
The altered image added a MAGA chain and an ICE reference, and critics said the White House was using pop culture to promote its immigration message.
- On Friday, The White House shared an altered version of Drake's 'ICEMAN' album artwork on X, featuring a bedazzled 'MAGA' chain to promote President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration agenda.
- Employing AI-generated imagery, the administration frequently promotes its agenda, previously featuring Sabrina Carpenter's 'Juno' in a montage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests last year.

- More than 11 million views have accumulated on the post, yet Drake has not publicly commented on the image or the political debate it generated. The White House issued no further clarification.
- In 2018, Drake denounced Trump for fostering a 'flagrantly racist cultural climate,' warning against divisive policies onstage in Brooklyn. This incident illustrates the growing intersection of celebrity culture and political messaging.
