An investigation is underway at a high school in New Jersey over a music video.

Rapper Fetty Wap recorded a music video inside the school with a pole dancer and drug references, but it is not clear how he got inside.

The principal of East Side High School has been placed on leave, according to The Bergen Record.

“I went back to my old high school to shoot this video,” reads the opening caption. “A nobody high school dropout now known worldwide as Fetty Wap. Celebrate everyday, roll something up, and define your own path.” The video is titled "Wake up."

Wap dropped out of the high school.

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, DRUG USAGE AND SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE SCENES

A board member says that the video "glorifies dropping out of high school and getting high."

Wap also defended the video on Instagram.
 

No students at the school were involved in the video and the students who have been interviewed seem thrilled that Wap filmed his video in their school.
