FORT WORTH, Texas — The feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar has spilled over into North Texas policing.

The Fort Worth Police Department released a parody of Lamar’s Grammy-winning song “Not Like Us” via Facebook on Friday, taking aim at the Dallas Police Department.

The parody video opens with a shot of a Fort Worth billboard advertising hiring for the Dallas Police Department.

“You guys are going to advertise in our city?” the FWPD Facebook post reads. “Okay, D. Here’s our response.”

The video shows an officer ripping Dallas Police Department patches off officers’ uniforms to reveal Fort Worth patches, poking fun at the Fort Worth department’s hiring of 14 Dallas officers.
