A TikTok posted Thursday shows ICE agents handcuffing and hauling off detainees to Bad Bunny’s “LA MuDANZA,” according to TMZ.
In the video, the White House took the original lyrics “un aplauso pa mami y papi porque en verdad rompieron,” meaning “a round of applause for mom and dad, because they really crushed it” — and changed them.
The video instead had: “A round of applause for Donald J. Trump because he really crushed it.” The post was captioned “We’re making America great again.”

Bad Bunny hasn’t commented on the White House move yet, according to TMZ.
The Puerto Rican rapper Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio has been a critic of the Trump administration and its policies. The international star performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in February, sending a message of pride to the Latino and immigrant community.
Tik Tok commenters were outraged. Nearly 3,000 people responded to the video, the top comments were mostly condemnations.
“Do not disrespect Bad Bunny like that,” wrote one. Said another, “This is just disgusting.”
