Chainsmokers Cough-Cough Accused Of Jacking Fetty Wap’s Flow [Video]

Music newcomers The Chainsmokers are battling the Internet and might end up losing. The crooners are accused of jacking rapper Fetty Wap‘s “679” flows.

Over the past few weeks, speculation has intensified of Chainsmokers quietly taking Fetty’s influence for their “Closer” hit.

Earlier this year, Fetty publicly apologized for filming his dicey “Wake Up” music video at a local New Jersey high school.

“I want to apologize to the school and to Paterson. What I did was, well, I didn’t really think it was going to be what it came to be because all I did was what I know and where I’m from. I’m not saying it’s an excuse but growing up [here] – it was a lot different. .. If I disrespected anybody, I came today to apologize but I also wanted to let people know that I’m a product of my environment.”

The school principal caught major heat for allowing Wap to shoot the music video on-premise.

Zatiti Moody, the high school principal of operations, was placed on paid administrative leave, Superintendent Donnie Evans announced during a meeting of the Board of Education. While Moody is suspended, district officials are to investigate whether policies were observed when permission was granted for the video to be shot after school hours inside the high school.

Principal Zatiti Moody‘s fate ultimately rested in the school district’s investigation to see if school policies were upheld for the music video shooting.

Terry Corallo, a Paterson school district spokeswoman, told NJ.com the district is investigating whether procedures were followed in allowing parts of the video at East Side High School. Corallo said the district doesn’t endorse the content of the video and it was shot during off hours and didn’t include students. (Fox News)
