Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations.

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.
