On Saturday evening (July 15), the “Pound Town” rapper took to her Twitter and shared footage of her walking into a high school gymnasium, full of students eager to meet her. As one of her songs played in the background on some speakers, Sexxy Red skips onto the gym floor and into a huge mosh pit full of high schoolers cheering her on.

Soon, things become so hectic, the emcee/DJ cuts the music and tells everyone to calm down and spread out a bit. Captioning the post, the rapper wrote, “What school should I go to next? It’s been a minute!”

After uploading her post, social media users immediately went on the offensive and slammed the rapper for going to perform at a school, knowing her lyrics are extremely explicit.

Some social media users over on Twitter not only slammed the rapper, but also called out the school’s principal, and whichever other administrators had a role in green-lighting the event.

One Twitter user said, Principal needs to be fired.” Another replied to the tweet and said, “I was thinking the same. Why would they allow ‘my c**hie pink and b**tyhole brown’ in middle school. Really?”

Another person replied to the rapper’s video tweet and said, “We love you, niece, but no schools unless it’s college. Your songs are not for school kids.” Another agreed and said, “Yeah, it’s a no. Leave schools out.”

One user on Twitter claimed that they were actually a student at the school and claimed their principal “did not like this at all.” They then added, “Surprisingly, I thought she did, but she didn’t now what kind of music she made.”
