Parents have complained to a school board after a raunchy video of women wearing minuscule undies on campus went viral.

A sexually charged promotional video of women twerking in G-strings at a high school gym has been labelled “appalling” and “disgusting” by angry parents.

The raunchy footage was filmed at West Side High School, in the US state of New Jersey, to promote a celebrity basketball tournament dubbed “Nuttin’ But Azz”.

The clip features women bending over chairs in minuscule undies as hip hop blasts, the New York Post reports

The phrase “Rough Riders” — the school’s mascot— can even be seen printed on a wall in the background.

A man dressed like a referee then appears on screen, proclaiming, “We’re giving out $10,000 to the best team out of four teams.”

‘Appalling’: Wild G-string act at school angers

The ad touting the tournament was produced by Big Fendi, a music manager and party promoter known for discovering rapper Nicki Minaj.

But wild footage of the stripper-style dancing outraged members of the Newark Board of Education, who argued the film crew shouldn’t have been allowed on campus.

“I am appalled that a video of that sort was associated with that school or any of our schools,” board member Daniel Gonzalez said during a meeting Tuesday night, according to NJ.com.

“I was disgusted,” Board Co-Vice President Allison James-Frison fumed.

Other board members said they were worried that students may have watched the rump-shaking shoot.

“I would like to know who signed in, who opened those doors, and how many minors were on the site,” board member Crystal Williams.

An investigation is underway and school records, along with surveillance cameras will likely reveal how and by whom the film crew was allowed in, Williams said.

The event, also known as the “NBA Baddies Basketball Tournament NJ,” had been scheduled for July 21 at the high school with tickets ranging from $US 50 to $500 (about $75 to $750 Australian dollars).

Parents have also been left seeing red over the clip after seeing it spread on social media.

“I opened up Facebook and I thought my eyes were deceiving me,” Newark parent Loucious Jones told the board. “My wife had to snatch the phone away from me.”

The basketball tournament has since been cancelled and Big Fendi apologised to the “whole city of Newark” in an Instagram video

“Things went a little left, and out of control,” Fendi said in the video. “I take full responsibility for that ‘cause you guys had no knowledge of what these girls would be wearing.”

He has also been contacted by the New York Post for further comment.

At the school board meeting Tuesday, Superintendent Roger León said this was “this was never a district or school event”.

“Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken,” he said.
