(Radio.com) The principal at Fetty Wap's high school made headlines in June after being suspended for allowing the entertainer to shoot his "Wake Up" video at the school. School administrators there deemed the content of the song inappropriate.
The video was shot at East Side High School in Paterson, New Jersey, the school that Fetty Wap attended, and dropped out of. The clip is framed as a dropout-made-good story, and title cards encourage students to "find their own path."
Nevertheless, parents and school board members are unhappy with the video, which depicts a stripper pole shot in a classroom and numerous drug references.
"I went back to my old high school because I love my city," Wap said in a statement.

If I can do it they can do it too." Read more
