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.

Scholar Michael Eric Dyson called out Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' for drawing lines around Blackness that left out Drake's deep family roots in Memphis and beyond.
