Unless the government shutdown is resolved before then, millions of people will lose their SNAP benefits on Nov. 1, and social media has been on fire with outrage. There’s a related conversation causing rage and controversy within the Black community: AI-generated videos…and you won’t believe what they’re showing.

Using exaggerated African American Vernacular English (AAVE), these fake videos show Black women scolding what appears to be a state employee for not being able to use their SNAP benefits. In this viral video, a Black woman yells as she demands benefits to take her “six kids” to McDonald’s.
“What the hell you mean you can’t reload my EBT card?” the fake Black woman yells at the employee. “I got six kids. How am I finna pay for their happy meal? Dead ass.”
“They’re using AI to make videos of Black women yelling about their EBT cards on Tik Tok,” one X user wrote. “They were always going to come after us first with AI, that’s why it’s f*ck AI and I need you all to stop using it for real.”
In another video, a Black woman yells into the camera about her EBT card being cut off, with a view of her apartment in complete disarray.
As many Black users have pointed out, it’s not them in the videos, so the real question is: Who’s behind this false narrative? Content creator Jeremy Carrasco shares exactly who is responsible.
“This is AI. And here’s why it matters,” Carrasco begins. “It’s made by @impossible_asmr1, who after eight failed slot posts and a three-month break they decided that ‘Sora’ could finally make their dream content: Videos of Black women trying to use their EBT in places that are not accepted.”
These videos are show Black women attempting to use their cards in coffee shops, presenting the EBT cards as ID during police stops, and even arguing with a server on an Air Force military base. Yeah, it’s getting creepy out here, y’all.
“I swear racist people are thinking about us 24/7. from sun up to sundown,” a TikTok user wrote.
Another added, “Black women aren’t even on welfare. It’s 100% white women.”
Indeed, as Jay-Z once said: “Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t.” According to Politifact, white people make up approximately 35% of all recipients, the largest racial group receiving benefits.
One white TikTok creator, @court.ney._xo, shared her experience with what the Department of Human Services is demanding of her, and it’ll shock you.
“Someone reported me to the state of Michigan because I am making money from TikTok and I am driving a 2024 BMW,” she explains. “They have cut my food stamps from almost $4000 a month to $88 a month.” She goes on to explain that if she wants to be reconsidered for financial assistance, she must sell her vehicle, and Section 8 will no longer pay 95% of her rent.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the maximum SNAP benefit for a family of 7 was $ 1,571 as of October 23, 2025. Federal housing assistance funds are typically sent directly to landlords to settle housing balances, not to recipients.
After a series of creator videos went viral, the comment section lit her up.
“The audacity this woman has,” a TikTok user wrote under the video.
Another chimed in, “Is this a joke?!?! Who has a ‘24 BMW and is on social assistance?!!! I work full time at a decent job and don’t have $4K/mos for groceries!”
But according to Yahoo News, the TikTok creator later admitted her content is satire.
“95% of my content is satire,” she said. “There is no way… if you go through my TikToks, there is no way I have all that shit going on in my life.”
