Drake released three albums including 'Iceman,' which features a hand wearing a black glove adorned with silver rhinestones while making the 'OK' sign. The White House X account, from the administration of President Donald Trump, posted an AI-generated image mocking the album cover.
What happened
The White House post kept some elements of the original cover but replaced the silver rhinestones with a golden necklace bearing the letters 'MAGA'. The White House building appeared as a logo in the top corner of the image. The caption stated, 'ICED OUT,' referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The post drew criticism online, with users questioning the relevance of the MAGA reference to a Canadian rap album.
