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.

After scoring three viral hits with “Star Wars” productions, the agency is now taking an approach more akin to a used car dealership

The Arlington Police Department chimed in, commenting with a GIF of Michael Jackson eating popcorn.

Another comment from the Oklahoma City Police Department reads, “We heard this all the way up I-35.”

“A police department diss track was not on my 2025 bingo card,” another commenter wrote.

The Dallas Police Department has not yet responded to the video.
