Florida A&M briefly suspended its football program after a professional rap video was allegedly filmed in the team's locker room without authorization by the university.

FAMU coach Willie Simmons announced that they were suspending all football activities and shutting down access to its facilities.

"Although I am a proud proponent of free speech and support all forms of musical expressions, this football team has a responsibility to protect the University's image," Simmons wrote."As a result of this unfortunate situation, as head football coach I am effectively suspending all football related activities until further notice. It is a privilege to wear the Orange and Green and as a football program our young men have failed to live up to the standard set before us.
