Donald Trump’s White House has taken to social media to share its excitement over Drake’s Iceman album, posting their own remixed cover that features a bedazzled gloved hand displaying the six sign (which is a nod to Toronto) and dangling a Make America Great Again chain.

“ICED OUT,” reads the post on X that has racked up more than 11 million views.

But the meme didn’t hit the right note with many Americans.

“Gas is 12 trillion dollars a gallon and y’all on here playing around,” one person wrote, while another asked, “Who actually runs this account? Is it just like a bunch of 17 year olds on coke and dmt?”

“I’m in the worst timeline, man,” a third person complained.

“We’ve lost the plot as a country,” read a fourth comment on Instagram.

Other people re-edited their own version of the image to point at some of the controversies that have dogged Trump, modifying the necklace to read “Epstein,” in a nod to the President’s name being mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump famously impersonated Drake during a 2015 episode of Saturday Night Live when he danced around dressed as your tax guy in a spoof of Drizzy’s Hotline Bling.

Drake usually stays out of politics, but back in 2018 he referred to Trump as a “f—ing idiot.”

“This f—ing idiot that’s in office (is) trying to tell us that we’re living in a divided country. That we don’t understand unity,” he said onstage in Brooklyn. “Meanwhile, right here in Brooklyn, we got 16,000 people, from all races and all places, and all we doing is just enjoying ourselves, listening to music.”

The year prior, Drake warned the crowd against Trump’s divisive policies.

“I just want you to understand, if you ever thought for one second that any one man is gonna tear this world apart, you’re out of your mothaf—ing mind. It’s on us to keep this s— together. F— that man!”

White House battling pop stars nothing new

Trump’s White House hasn’t been shy about using tunes from popular artists to push its agenda. The administration courted controversy when it shared videos of immigration enforcement officers arresting illegal aliens set to songs by Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo and others.

After Carpenter condemned the use of her song Juno in a video showing ICE agents in action, spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said the White House isn’t going to apologize for its social media posts.

“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country,” Jackson said in a statement to Fox News Digital and the Washington Post. “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”

Rodrigo also slammed the Trump administration after the DHS used her song All-American Bitch in a video urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport.

“Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda,” Rodrigo replied in the comments on the Instagram post, according to Deadline.

Drake pens note thanking ‘crodi’ Olivia Chow

As part of the album roll out for Iceman — and two accompanying LPs Habibti and Maid Of Honour — Drake put on a fireworks show at Toronto’s waterfront, lit up the CN Tower in hues of icy blue and shared a video shot inside City Hall.

In the montage, the 6 God was shown at Chow’s desk wearing her Chain of Office.

In a post on Instagram, Chow shared a handwritten note from the Toronto-born rapper in which he thanked her for letting him use her space.

“Thank you my crodi Crolivia Chow! Iceman 2026,” the note read.

“You’re welcome Iceman,” Chow responded, calling him a “big booster of our city” and adding she was “happy to host his team at City Hall.”
