AceShowbiz - Fetty Wap's popular lyric from "Trap Queen" has led to the suspension of a Florida school principal after it was found in the 2025-26 yearbook.

Katie O'Connell, principal of Trout Creek Academy in St. Johns County, Florida, was placed on paid administrative leave following the discovery of a line from the song printed on the yearbook’s opening page. The lyric, "Everybody hatin', we just call them fans though," sparked immediate backlash from parents concerned about its appropriateness for a K-8 school setting.

According to reports from the Jacksonville Free Press, a parent formally complained that the lyric was both inappropriate and unprofessional. This prompted the school district to launch an investigation into what it deemed "inappropriate conduct" by the principal.

By May 22, O'Connell was informed via letter that her paid leave would continue until June 30 and that she would not be reappointed for the upcoming school year. However, O'Connell has maintained that she never authorized the lyric’s inclusion in the yearbook.

Statements from the yearbook teacher indicate that O'Connell did not approve the quote before publication. It appears students may have added it themselves after noticing the yearbook’s opening page initially lacked any quote.

Supporting O'Connell internally, an assistant principal noted in emails that the controversial quote was missing during the proofreading phase, and the signature accompanying the quote did not match O'Connell's usual school document signatures.

The situation suggests the principal might have been set up, but the district is proceeding with disciplinary action regardless.

Adding an ironic twist, while O'Connell faces suspension over the lyric, Fetty Wap himself has been actively involved in educational outreach. The rapper has toured North Jersey schools delivering empowerment messages and even served as "principal for a day" at institutions like College Achieve Paterson.

During these visits, Fetty Wap encourages students to stay in school and shares candid reflections on his life, including the challenges of fame and past mistakes. This includes his recent completion of a federal prison sentence related to a drug ring.

While Fetty Wap uses his platform to inspire young people, a real principal’s career is jeopardized by his lyrics appearing in a school yearbook without her consent.
