The Trump White House on Wednesday shared a highlights reel montage promoting President Donald Trump’s recent trip to the NATO summit in the Netherlands, set to R&B star Usher’s 2010 song “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home).”
The track choice appeared to refer to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s line about “Daddy” discipline — while talking about the Iran and Israel ceasefire — during a press conference with Trump.
“Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” Rutte said, an apparent response to Trump’s “they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” comment after the ceasefire between the two countries briefly collapsed earlier this week.
On X, the White House captioned the Trump-Usher video: “Daddy’s home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy,” which are lyrics in the song.
Usher has not publicly commented on the use of his song. A representative did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
