Donald Trump’s White House Puts ‘MAGA’ Spin on Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Album Cover, Faces Backlash

"Gas is 12 trillion dollars a gallon and y'all on here playing around!" one person commented.

The Donald Trump administration is jumping in on the Drake album hype, with the White House sharing an edited version of the rapper’s new Iceman album cover that immediately drew backlash.

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.
