The White House shared its own rendering of the Iceman artwork on X on Friday (May 15) — the same day Drake dropped the LP alongside two other surprise albums, Maid of Honour and Habibti. The original cover features a man’s hand in a crystal Michael Jackson-esque glove, but in the White House’s edited version, that same hand holds a chain necklace with a “MAGA” pendant.
“ICED OUT,” the caption reads.
Billboard has reached out to Drake’s rep for comment.
The Trump administation has earned a reputation for using popular music as opportunities to grab attention. Previously, the administration faced heavy criticism from both the artists and fans after using songs by Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter to glorify the DHS’ widely protested immigration enforcement practices at different times.
The Drizzy cover edit is no different, with the post’s comment section filling up with pushback from fans. “Gas is 12 trillion dollars a gallon and y’all on here playing around!” one person wrote, while another replied, “I’m in the worst timeline, man.”
Numerous other people have taken aim at Trump by further editing the White House’s version of the Iceman cover to call out the politician’s controversies. For instance, one rendering changes the fake necklace pendant to say “Epstein” instead of “MAGA,” nodding to the mentions of the twice-impeached POTUS’ name in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The president has denied any wrongdoing in connection to the disgraced billionaire, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide before his trial for federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Billboard has also reached out to the White House for comment on the backlash.
