The Ivy League university has a few students who aren't too happy with the rapper's lyrics.

Big Sean may be one of the most successful rappers out there right now, but some students at Princeton University aren't too happy about his scheduled performance on campus. 

The rapper is slated for a May 3 concert at the university but a group of students have launched a petition protesting the choice. The fight has been renewed thanks to a story in The New York Times that spoke with the co-creators of the petition.

“His language provides the ideological basis for gender-based violence against women,” Duncan Hosie, Princeton student and co-creator of the petition, told the Times

A Google Doc hosting the petition has garnered "hundreds" of signatures, the newspaper reports. Meanwhile, it seems student goverment and, well, many Princeton students are all for the concert regardless:

“I don’t really understand why Big Sean, specifically, is an issue,” A. J. Ohiwerei, a sophomore shared with the Times. “A lot of people, when they listen to that kind of music, expect it to be extreme or radical.”
