Kendrick Lamar and his team are shelling out a pretty penny to have LASD Deputies as security at his upcoming video shoot in Compton.
TMZ reported on Friday (June 21) that the superstar rapper is paying Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies $120 an hour to keep him, his team and the community safe.
According to the site, the added security has nothing to do with K.Dot’s recent drama with Drake.
The post stated: “While law enforcement sources tell us the police are aware of Kendrick’s recent beef with nemesis Drake, we’re told no known threats have surfaced at this time.”
The upcoming video shoot culminates a thrilling week for Kendrick Lamar, who turned his “Pop Out” concert into a family affair by inviting ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock and Ab-Soul onstage for a Black Hippy reunion.
During his show, Kendrick and his former Top Dawg Entertainment crew stood on stage for a rendition of ScHoolboy Q’s 2014 cut “Collard Greens.”
After running through the Oxymoron track, the Compton rapper ceded the stage to the “Man of the Year” MC, who performed 2016’s “THat Part.”
Prior to that, Kendrick Lamar welcomed Jay Rock for “Money Trees,” “Win” and “King’s Dead,” with Ab-Soul also there for “6:16 in LA.”
Elsewhere during the performance, Dr. Dre came through and delivered the instantly iconic “dead people” intro to K.Dot’s Drake diss “Not Like Us.”
Kendrick brought Dre onstage, and then asked: “You ain’t gonna say nothing else before we continue to party?”
The N.W.A legend responded with: “Yeah, okay. I’m just gonna need a moment of silence for this one.”
He then introduced Kendrick Lamar’s diss song with its intro: “Pssst. I see dead people.”
Before helping the “Money Trees” rapper launch into his latest hit, Dr. Dre ran through other hits “Still D.R.E.” and 2Pac‘s “California Love.”
