In February 2025, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, slashed USAID contracts worth tens of billions, paused operations, and cut 1,600 staff, folding much into the State Department. Critics cite modeled estimates of millions of deaths by 2030 from halted aid like vaccines and food, with one post by Mohamad Safa drawing 22,000 likes by comparing the toll to Gaza's 45,000 and Ukraine's 600 child deaths.

On the Mohr Stories podcast on Feb. 24, Dyson accused Lamar of reducing Black identity to Compton origins, comparing the track's 'not like us' hook to divisive rhetoric and noting Drake's Black heritage tied to figures like Aretha Franklin's babysitter. Fans split sharply, with some seeing attacks on Lamar—a dark-skinned Compton native who dominated 2024 with the track, swept 2026 Grammys including for 'Luther,' and headlined Super Bowl LIX—as rooted in colorism and media bias against his success. Others back Dyson, arguing Lamar first weaponized identity by labeling Drake a culture outsider, keeping debates alive on authenticity, skin tone, and hip-hop's cultural lines.
