Rapper connected to Bleedas gang visits Baton Rouge school; principal unaware

BATON ROUGE — A rapper with connections to the Bleedas gang visited his alma mater Park Forest Middle School and recorded a video with students imitating gunfire this week.
He was on campus to make a donation, a source close to the school said.
David Catherine, known as RealBleeda, stopped by the magnet school to donate snacks for the upcoming LEAP tests. He also donated a PlayStation 5 to the school's esports program.
Catherine had attended the school and knew Principal Xavier Rawls-Stromile from his time in school. The principal only knew him as a rap artist and was not aware of any alleged involvement in illegal activities, said a school source speaking on condition of anonymity.
According to school sources, Catherine asked to film a TikTok video with students in the Park Forest gym. He was granted permission and asked to use clean music, which he did during the recording. It was replaced on social media by his explicit song "STEP 2K25."
The video, posted on TikTok on Wednesday, shows students dancing with Catherine. The children briefly joined the rapper in imitating pointing a gun at the camera.
"What school next?" the caption of the video asked.

By Thursday, the video had been removed from Catherine's TikTok account, but a video posted on Instagram shows him arriving at the school with the PlayStation and snacks he donated.
Catherine's appearance at Park Forest was not sanctioned by the East Baton Rouge Parish School District as visits to schools are usually done on a school-by-school basis, a district spokesperson said.
Court records show Catherine, 22, is out on bond for a January drug and weapons arrest. He has been arrested for drug and gun charges multiple times over the past few years. Law enforcement also confirmed that Catherine is a member of the Bleedas gang.
Several Bleedas gang members were indicted for multiple armed robberies in April 2024, including George Applewhite, a known associate of Catherine. In 2022, WBRZ reported the Mall of Louisiana shooting death of 18-year-old Donte Dorsey and 19-year-old Clifton Lindsey. Dorsey was another aspiring rapper who performed under the name TrueBleeda.
Catherine was not charged in those crimes.
Video of the video he posted on TikTok.
Lots of "Nowutiiim say'n"
IMO, they're just pointing fingers. Doesn't look like a gun shape at all.

I didn't see the kids aim their fingers like a gun shot, but he is definitely not someone kids should inspire to be.

Truly an interesting culture that they promote and let thrive. I try to somehow place myself in their shoes and understand how I would be ok with being a part of a community that seems unbothered by gangs drugs and murder.

Yes, for awhile, even St Joes has this.

That culture sees money, cars, and gold as success, and doesn't care how those items are obtained.

What’s more concerning is this dude was bragging about fricking a bunch of 14 year olds last week in an insta live with a car full of teen girls.

Malcom X would be very disappointed. He even warned black people that liberal white women were their worst enemy,

Odd that children have been thrown out of school for biting into their sandwich to make it look like a gun.

Credit to RealBleeda for investing in his community and making sure our programs are funded. We can do this.

Why does this quote need to be anonymous?
