All football-related activities at Florida A&M University have been suspended indefinitely in the wake of the released of an unauthorized music video, coach Willie Simmons announced.

The hip-hop music video contained explicit lyrics and was recorded in the team locker room, the school said. Rapper Real Boston Richey's song titled "Send A Blitz" was released on Friday night.

Simmons released a statement in which he reaffirmed his support of free speech and musical expression, but he also stated that the video's content "is not consistent with Florida A&M's core values, principles and beliefs."
