School reacts to Yung Lean video: Not what we wanted to see

Swedish rapper Yung Lean's new video has taken the world by storm. But the school where the video was filmed is now reacting.

The short film for Yung Lean and Gener8ion's song "Storm" has become a global talking point within a week and has been hailed as "music video of the year" in several international media outlets.

French star director Romain Gavras has placed the Swedish rapper in a dystopian boarding school environment filled with smoking and violence, with notable choreography by Damien Jalet.

But Cardinal Mercier College in Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium, where the video was filmed, is not happy. According to the school's management, the project was sold as a depiction of "youth in the eye of the storm," but the violent scenes came as a surprise:

"These are not images we want to see associated with a school," principal Gregory De Smet tells The Bulletin.
