The White House official TikTok account has gone completely rogue again, and Champagne Papi continues to be at the centerpiece of the internet chaos.
As previously reported, just hours after Drake blindsided the music world by dropping a three-pack of surprise albums—Habibti, Maid of Honour, and Iceman—the Trump administration’s social media team intercepted the hype. The official White House pages posted a heavily edited version of Drake’s Iceman album cover to flex their aggressive immigration and deportation agenda. The original artwork features a striking, crystal-encrusted, Michael Jackson-style glove. In the White House’s MAGA remix? That same hand is recontextualized to heavily promote U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In a not-so-shocking move, the White House returned to the ‘net and dropped a video edit, showing Trump along with mass deportations. Still, Drake has not yet reacted to his music use by the Trump administration.
A History of “Unhinged” White House TikTok’s
If you’ve been paying attention to government feeds lately, this isn’t an isolated incident. The White House communications team has essentially transitioned into a full-time, state-sanctioned troll account, using internet subculture and Gen-Z aesthetics to normalize massive immigration crackdowns.
Before this Drake stunt, the administration faced massive backlash for running the exact same playbook with other pop culture juggernauts:
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Juno,” The White House recently used the pop star’s hit song over a compilation video showcasing ICE arrests. After Carpenter and her fans publicly blasted the post as “evil and disgusting,” the administration quietly deleted it.
Wicked’s “Defying Gravity,” In a deeply surreal moment, the official account posted real footage of undocumented families being separated and handcuffed, set to the triumphant Broadway anthem, captioned: “Ahhh that deportation feeling…”
The “Jet2 Holiday” trend, They even hopped on the viral British travel meme, using Jess Glynne’s “Hold My Hand” to track deportation flights. When pushed on the insensitivity, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson doubled down, stating: “The memes will continue until every criminal illegal alien is removed!”

The Copyright Conundrum: Celebs vs. Trump
The big question on everyone’s lips right now is: Is Drake going to sue?
The hip-hop mogul is currently trying to rebuild public favor after a grueling couple of years in the rap feud trenches. For the White House to hijack his release day to promote a highly controversial federal agency is a massive headache.
Trump has a notoriously rocky history with the music industry. Over the years, dozens of legendary artists and estates have issued cease-and-desist letters or filed lawsuits against him for using their intellectual property without permission, including: Beyoncé, Celine Dion and more.
Despite that happening, it doesn’t look like Trump will stop anytime soon.
