Ole Miss Incident Sparks Outrage and Investigation

A viral video has emerged showing University of Mississippi students making racist noises outside an apartment shared by black students. The video, captured by a ring-doorbell camera, was shared on TikTok by Ole Miss student Jakiyra Metcalf. It shows several white students walking past Metcalf’s apartment and making monkey noises on the evening of November 6, 2026.

The footage depicts two women stopping at the door. The first beats her chest while making monkey noises, followed by a second woman mimicking the sound towards the camera. A third woman is seen walking by, glancing at the door. Metcalf identified these women as her upstairs neighbors.

“What do we have to say about this??”

Metcalf captioned the video when she shared it on social media. The clip has since garnered over 11 million views, with many calling for accountability from the university.

In response to the incident, a woman identifying herself as the mother of one of the targeted black students posted on Facebook, demanding answers from the university. “This behavior is disgusting and unacceptable,” she stated, emphasizing that college should be a safe place for young adults to learn and grow.

The University of Mississippi has initiated an investigation into the incident. A university representative confirmed the school’s awareness of the video, calling the behavior depicted “offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable.” The university has reached out to those affected to provide support and resources.

The school remains committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. At the time of reporting, specific identities of the women in the video have not been confirmed. Furthermore, neither Ole Miss’ Equal Opportunity and Regulatory Compliance Office, the University Police Department, nor Metcalf responded to requests for comment.
