But after the tour, and after all the shows, I’m really looking forward to just being with my friends. I think we’re gonna go on a trip to Greece and have two weeks and just live my life.”

White House Uses Bad Bunny & Drake Songs in New ICE Deportation Videos: ‘You’re Going Home’

TikTok clips pair Benito's "La Mudanza" and the rapper's "Hoe Phase" with footage of ICE arrests.

The White House is using Bad Bunny and Drake songs to soundtrack videos promoting President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign, sparking backlash from fans and raising questions about the use of the artists’ music.

A video posted Thursday (July 30) to the White House’s TikTok account features Bad Bunny’s “La Mudanza” — which reached No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2025 — over quick-cut images of Trump, followed by footage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detaining undocumented men and women. The video displays the lyric “un aplauso para mami y papi porque en verdad rompieron” — “a round of applause for mom and dad, because they really crushed it” — alongside altered text in the clip that reads, “A round of applause for Donald J. Trump because he really crushed it.”
