Here’s What Really Happened When Sexyy Red Visited Hazelwood Central

Rapper Sexyy Red took some heat a couple weeks ago when a video posted on social media showed her arriving at a St. Louis high school, middle fingers up, to perform for students. Video of the event gives more insight into the chaos, which ultimately led to the rapper being escorted out of the school.

It wasn’t clear at the time the RFT covered the social media backlash which high school had hosted the rising star rapper’s performance. A former staff member of Hazelwood Central High School in north St. Louis County has since confirmed to the RFT that Sexyy Red did show up at the school during the past school year — only the rapper never got the chance to do much more than walk in or out.

Other local performers and DJs made appearances at Hazelwood Central that day in addition to Sexyy Red, part of a pep rally for the district’s homecoming last fall, according to DJ RonGotti’s Instagram. His account also shows that close to the same group of performers hosted a pep rally at Normandy High School around the same time.

RonGotti recorded most of Hazelwood Central rally in a video posted to his YouTube. Before Sexyy Red’s arrival, the footage shows students dancing and rapping along to music as school officials yell at them to sit down.

Sexyy Red arrives at the school’s gym around the 22-minute mark of the video. Students scream and quickly swarm the rapper to take photos.  But for a reason that isn’t clear in the video, Sexyy Red is escorted out of the gym a few minutes later.

“Everybody! Y’all just messed it up,” a man yelled into a microphone. “Go sit back down. I told y’all not to come onto this court.”
