Louisiana attorney general criticizes Baton Rouge school visit by rapper with alleged gang links
Mar 22, 2025
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is speaking out against the East Baton Rouge Parish School System after a rapper with alleged gang ties visited a local school and filmed a video with students.
Murrill criticized the incident, questioned how officials
allowed it to happen and raised concerns about school safety and privacy violations.
"This is absolutely unacceptable. Who allowed this to happen? THIS is the kind of example they want to set for their students? The principal says he didn’t know the person had a known gang affiliation, but then let school children make a video mimicking holding guns and displaying acts of violence. Since when can you just show up on campus and make a video with school kids? That violates a number of school privacy laws. This is appalling on so many levels. Crime is already out of control in Baton Rouge - let’s not glorify violence at our schools or any place of learning. I’m looking into this," Murrill said.

The attorney general further criticized the school system’s handling of the situation, accusing it of allowing the rapper’s visit in exchange for small incentives.
"For some water and Doritos, the East Baton Rouge Parish School System promotes a person with known gang affiliation, allows him to make a video with kids using offensive, racist language, and glorifying violence, and basically turns a day at elementary school into a day of recruiting for a gang," Murrill said.
Louisiana First News has reached out to the EBR school board for a statement.
