Fake DJ Met, Recorded Students At Philly High School: Reports

PHILADELPHIA – A man claiming he was a DJ for Alicia Keys somehow got access to a Philadelphia public high school, allowing him to meet with students and record them, according to reports.

Action News reports Jerez Coleman posed as a famous DJ to get into the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts.

Coleman was featured on the MTV show "Catfish" in 2014 in which he posed as a rapper to con a fan out of money. He then was charged with making threats to various Washington DC institutions, including President Barack Obama and the DC Metro system, in 2015.

He was later sentenced to 22 months in jail and a mental evaluation for those threats.

Coleman, who also goes by Kidd Cole, is reported to have called the school claiming he was Keys' DJ and asked to speak with students. On Thursday, he showed up with two bodyguards and two cameramen.

According to Fox 29, Coleman spoke to two classes of students while in the school for about an hour with school official supervision.

"There was a member of our district staff who did not follow our typical policy and procedures when it come to permissions of visitors in our schools," a School District of Philadelphia spokesperson told Fox. "We are fortunate that nothing worse happened. It's about redoubling our efforts to make sure that this type of thing does not happen again."

Students told 6ABC that something seemed off so they looked him up online and found his con attempt on the TV show and his criminal records.

"He got pictures with students and they recorded us singing," one student told 6ABC.
