Who Had 'ICE Using a DaBaby Song About Jewelry' on Their 2025 Bingo Card?

So, are we just going to pretend it's normal that the Department of Homeland Security is using a DaBaby track to promote ICE? In what has to be one of the most bizarre and head-scratching PR moves imaginable, a social media account for Homeland Security dropped a video featuring ICE's fleet of menacing, freshly-wrapped trucks patrolling Washington D.C., all set to the beat of DaBaby's 2019 song "Toes."

You have to wonder if anyone in the government office that approved this actually listened to the lyrics. The song, a heavily censored version of it anyway, was clearly chosen for one word: "ice." The problem is, when DaBaby raps, "My heart so cold I think I'm done with ice," he's talking about his jewelry—his diamonds, his bling. Not, you know, the federal agency at the center of national immigration debates. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

This isn't some low-budget PSA, either. The video showcases Ford Raptors and GMC Yukons that, according to reports, cost the Trump administration over half a million dollars, including the custom "graphic wrap design." These trucks are rolling billboards, proudly displaying the same color scheme as Trump's private jet and emblazoned with phrases like "Defend the Homeland" and "President Donald J. Trump." The whole thing is apparently a "recruitment" effort, and I guess it worked on former Superman actor Dean Cain, who recently announced he's joining up.

But the million-dollar question is: Did DaBaby sign off on this?

It’s hard to tell. He's been completely silent on social media about it, which is telling. You’d think an artist would either brag about a government paycheck or furiously condemn the unauthorized use of their music, especially by a polarizing agency like ICE.

Then again, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised. Back in 2022, shortly after facing immense backlash for a homophobic rant that he claims cost him $200 million, DaBaby declared his support for Donald Trump on a podcast. His reasoning? "Trump is a gangster. He let Kodak [Black] out."

So, which is it? Is this a case of a government agency cluelessly grabbing a song because it had a keyword, completely oblivious to the context? Or did DaBaby, a vocal Trump supporter, quietly license his track about diamond chains to help ICE recruit more agents? The whole situation is a surreal collision of hip-hop culture, federal law enforcement, and political branding, and frankly, it raises way more questions than it answers.
