Henry County officials said they never gave rapper Yo Gotti permission to shoot a music video inside the courthouse and are taking steps to make sure it does not happen again.
Last month, Yo Gotti shot the video for “The Law” in the facility, according to Channel 2 Action News. It was not clear how the production crew got inside the courthouse.
McDonough City Councilwoman Sandra Vincent told Channel 2 she helped facilitate the production, but never saw a script.
“I don’t use that language,” she said. “That language is not used in my house.”
The video, which has been viewed on YouTube more than 2.5 million times, features a scantily-clad woman and profanity.
“Clearly, it does not represent the standards of what’s Henry County,” County Manager Lyndon Bonner said.
County officials are working on a policy to pre-approve productions.
Yo Gotti, whose real name is Mario Mims, is best known for the hit singles "Errrbody" and "Down in the DM," which is currently No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
His latest album, "The Art of Hustle," is No. 59 on the Billboard 200.
