Today, on Feb. 29, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, urged Kim Kardashian to remove their children from Sierra Canyon School, branding it a “fake school for celebrities” in an Instagram post.
In the post’s caption, the rapper expressed, “At this point, everybody knows what ‘the system’ is code word for. I was removed from my dad by the system, and the system removed me from my children. When the system drafts athletes, they avoid working with those who have their father in their [lives]because they are harder to manipulate. My two oldest know they daddy.”
As of the reporting time, Kardashian has not responded to the statement. Sierra Canyon School boasts notable alumni, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Willow Smith, and LeBron James’ sons, Bronny and Bryce. However, Ye has previously criticized the institution. In a 2022 interview with Tucker Carlson, the Chicago native expressed his preference for his eldest children to attend Donda Academy instead of Sierra Canyon School.
He articulated, “What they do is take all of the celebrities [kids]— the actors, the basketball players — and they throw them in this one school, and they indoctrinate the kids. My kids are going to a school that teaches Black kids a complicated Kwanzaa… They don’t teach even Christmas itself.” Following Ye’s public criticism, reports suggested that Kardashian heightened security measures at the establishment.
Ye seemed to reference Sierra Canyon School on “CARNIVAL,” part of VULTURES 1, released earlier this month. On the track, he rapped, “This for what they did to Chris, they can’t do s**t with this/ Got my kids in a fake school, we ain’t…”
It’s been a busy week for the 24-time Grammy winner, who also called out Adidas on Monday (Feb. 26). In a now-deleted social media post, he asserted, “Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys. I never made these colorways, I’m not getting paid off of them, and Adidas is suing me. All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T-shirt or the color of my hat, but when y’all see me have my children hidden from me or see an actual Fortune 500 company rape one of your heroes in real life, don’t nobody say nothing or do nothing.”
