Trump White House Uses Drake's 'Iceman' Release to Push MAGA Agenda
Rolling Stone • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The White House posted a controversial social media image spoofing Drake’s "Iceman" cover, featuring a diamond-encrusted glove holding a chain with "MAGA" on it, captioned "ICED OUT."
- This post continues the Trump administration’s pattern of co-opting popular music and artists to promote MAGA-related messages, often provoking backlash from the musicians involved.
- Previous examples include the use of Sabrina Carpenter’s and Olivia Rodrigo’s songs in ICE-related videos, both of whom publicly condemned the White House for associating their music with controversial immigration policies.
- Drake, a Canadian artist from a region Trump has referred to as a potential “51st state,” has not responded to the White House’s post, while Trump himself seems unaware of Drake’s recent public disputes, including his feud with Kendrick Lamar.
