Arundel High officials gave Rogue Boys permission to shoot salacious video at school, group says

The group behind a salacious rap music video shot at Arundel High says the outgoing school’s principal gave them permission to record it on school grounds.

The principal, Gina Davenport, declined to comment but said in a brief interview with The Capital, “I don’t want anything to do with them right now.”

The video, “Wanna Be Remix,” was posted by the Rogue Boys, a three-man social media team consisting of Jordan Daboo, 19, Siah Bando, 19, both from Odenton, and Makaih Santii, 20, from Millersville. In it, they rap about sex, drugs and violence while scantily clad women dance in a classroom.

“It was just content for us,” said Daboo, who graduated in 2022 from Arundel High School in Gambrills. “The school was just scenery or a backdrop, nothing more.”

Daboo said he has had a strong relationship with Davenport and others in the administration dating back to his time as a student, which is how the group was able to get into the school.

“We told them exactly what we’re going to be shooting, we told them what areas we needed, that we would have models dressed in school girl outfits. Everything,” he said.

Daboo says his team emailed Davenport ahead of the video shoot and received authorization.

“We were let in by administration, given a key to the classroom, and the rest is history,” Daboo said.

He says there may have been students from Arundel on the grounds for sports but none were in the room when the video was shot.

Daboo said shortly after the video was posted online he was asked by Davenport to take it down.

“I love them over there [Arundel High School] so when Ms. Davenport asked me to take the video down I told her, ‘Sure’, but I had to talk to my team first,” he said.  “But before I could speak to them a [news] report was posted about the video.”

Daboo said the report, which he declined to name, contained falsehoods so the group decided not to take the video down.

While Daboo expresses regret about people potentially getting in trouble because of the video, he wants to make clear they were given permission to film the video.

Bob Mosier, chief information officer for Anne Arundel County Public Schools, previously told The Capital the circumstances surrounding the video were the subject of an ongoing investigation.

“I can tell you, we are aware of it and we are investigating it,” he said.

Earlier this year, Davenport, said she would be leaving her post at the end of the school year. County officials say Davenport’s departure is unrelated to the video.

Kimberly Winterbottom, principal of Marley Middle School in Glen Burnie, will take Davenport’s place starting June 26. It is unclear what Davenport’s next assignment will be.

Although they have been posting for about a year, this is the Rogue Boys’ first music video. Their YouTube page is filled with videos of people going on blind dates in cars.

The song uses a beat popular on TikTok by Meg the Stallion and Glorilla, and is their most viewed video. As of Saturday morning, it had about 38,000 views.

“It was just for content purposes but I don’t know what’s going on now,” said Daboo laughing. “Looks like we might have to get on the XXL freshmen list for 2025, that’s what it’s looking like.”

The hip-hop magazine XXL publishes a list every year of up-and-coming rappers known as the XXL freshmen.
