The White House Crowns Donald Trump ‘Iceman’ in TikTok Soundtracked by Drake

The White House Crowns Donald Trump ‘Iceman’ in TikTok Soundtracked by Drake

Donald Trump’s White House is getting in on Iceman season. While Drake operates north of the border, the Trump administration posted a TikTok on Saturday (May 16) crowning President Trump as the Iceman.

The clip is soundtracked by the outro to Drizzy’s “Make Them Know,” which also finds various reporters shouting out “Iceman” and features Trump walking down a snowy red carpet, fresh out of a chopper. “Iceman baby, freeze the world,” the vocals repeat.

It all ties back to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is also known as ICE. Portions of the clip showcase ICE agents in action, tracking down various individuals. It’s seemingly trying to add the president to the list of those nicknamed Iceman, which includes NBA great George Gervin, Drake and Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.

OVO fans flocked to the comment section. “Drake literally dissed yall in the album omg,” one person wrote. Another added: “Whole government is a joke!” Others implored Drake to launch another lawsuit.

Billboard has reached out to Drake’s team for comment.

This wasn’t the only social media post made by the White House inspired by Drake’s Iceman album, which arrived Friday (May 15). The Trump Administration posted a MAGA version of Drizzy’s Iceman artwork, except that edition finds the sparkling Michael Jackson glove holding a diamond-encrusted MAGA chain pendant. The post drew heavy backlash from Drake fans in the White House’s comment section.

It wasn’t a surprising move by the White House, which has made a habit of capitalizing on popular music and incorporating hits into its social media posts. In the past, artists such as Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo have slammed the administration for using their music to support clips of ICE’s practices.

The 6 God returned on Friday with a trio of new albums, as Iceman was joined by shorter efforts Habibti and Maid of Honour. Iceman serves as Drake’s first solo LP since 2023’s For All the Dogs, and features Future, 21 Savage and Molly Santana.
