‘Generation is really lost:’ Cardi B reprimands Texas students seen fighting teacher
Cardi B has a message for students at a Texas middle school.
“Kids this is not respected, not cool, not funny, not tough, not gangsta,” the rapper wrote definitively in a message on Twitter.
The “I Like It” rapper was referencing a video capturing a fight between students and a substitute teacher at a middle school outside Dallas.
In the video filmed on March 9, the students and teacher at DeSoto West Middle School can be seen hurling chairs at one another during the altercation, McClatchy News previously reported.
The teacher, whom school officials confirmed to WFAA was attacked first, can be seen wiping blood off his face after returning to his desk.
As of March 11, the Twitter video of the incident has over 2 million views.
“The actions of those featured in the video are not reflective of the larger body of students and staff of DeSoto ISD,” the school district wrote in a statement. “The district makes clear that it does not condone or tolerate the behavior that took place in the incident and that all parties will be held accountable to the full extent of the district’s ability to address the matter.”
Cardi B is stepping in to join the wave of people condemning the incident.
“Disgusting this generation is really lost,” wrote the “Bodak Yellow” rapper in a quote-tweet of the video. “I went to school wit a lot of gangstas and no matter what they never put their hands on a teacher.”
In an updated statement from March 10, the school district said it plans to begin spring break early to take time to evaluate the incident.
“DeSoto ISD is working to reset culture and behavior on campuses, and to refocus our system on effective instruction, learning and student academic and social development,” the statement said.
The school district then mentioned several rule changes that will be in place when students return from spring break, including no cell phones during the school day.
DeSoto police will be investigating the incident to ensure the “safety and security” of the students and staff, according to a news release.
