Kendrick Lamar will soon be shooting a video in his hometown of Compton, and it could be for his Drake diss "Not Like Us." 

To do so, he hired a bunch of deputies from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department for extra security and is paying them $120 an hour.

The extra security could be to protect him from Drake stans or just local knuckleheads looking to cause trouble.

The video shoot follows Kendrick's huge Pop Out show in Inglewood on Wednesday, during which he performed "Not Like Us" six times.

If the video is for the Drake diss, it'll be another shot sent at the OVO rapper after it seemed the battle was over.
