Back in June, the principal of Fetty Wap’s former high school in Paterson, New Jersey was suspended with pay, pending an investigation into how he handled the on-site filming of Fetty’s controversial music video, “Wake Up.” The video contains imagery like stripper poles, bongs, 40oz beer bottles and more, which while it’s suitable for a typical video in a club or a party, it doesn’t mesh well inside the halls of a high school – and angry parents and the township were quite vocal about that.

An investigation was conducted in the months following, and the conclusion has now been announced. NJ.com reports that Fetty has been completely cleared in the matter, and that officials place the blame solely on principal Zatiti Moody.

“I conclude that Mr. Moody was solely responsible for permitting the video shoot to occur at Eastside High,” a rep said. “In authorizing the video shoot, Mr. Moody did not follow all of the requirements of Board policy and regulations…Based upon the evidence I collected, I recommend that the State District Superintendent impose appropriate discipline upon Mr. Moody.”

The investigation also revealed that Fetty’s production company gave $500 to the Eastside High School Booster Club instead of paying the school to use the facility. That’s dope!

For his part, principal Moody said that he was unaware of the content of the video and hoped it would have educational value since the school has a video production class.

What kind of action do you think would be appropriate here, if any at all?
