Kanye West goes by many titles: producer, artist, and founder of Donda Academy. Named after his late mother, the now closed school was a Christian private school in Simi Valley, California. It isn\u2019t the easiest thing to know what attending the school was like considering the mandated NDAs parents had to sign to enroll their children, but chances are the students didn\u2019t make much fun of each other\u2019s clothes considering that the uniform code mandated Balenciaga \u2014 sure, your shoes may be goofy, but so are everyone else\u2019s:<\/p>\n

I’m sorry to inform you Balenciaga have been making footwear again. I’m half convinced they are trolling to see if there is any limit to what idiots will buy. pic.twitter.com\/lcl5OJqjlo<\/a><\/p>\n

Fashion choices aren\u2019t the only thing that have Ye\u2019s structuring of Donda Academy under a microscope. Baller Alert <\/a>has coverage:<\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by TMZ<\/strong>, a Los Angeles judge has given West 30 days to appear in person for a deposition. The ruling comes after repeated efforts by the plaintiff to secure the rapper\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed in April 2024 by Trevor Phillips<\/strong>, a former employee of Donda Academy, accuses West of creating a hostile and discriminatory work environment.<\/p>\n

Phillips claims he experienced harassment while employed at the school. In his filing, he wrote that West \u201cspew forth hate, profess antisemitic tropes and lies, threaten the LGBTQ+ community, and even on one occasion, almost sexually stimulate himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It would be easy to point to Ye\u2019s Heil Hitler<\/a> track and accompanying music video or the one he did with Lil Pump where he declared that \u201cI\u2019m a sick f*ck\u201d<\/a>, but I\u2019m generally against the use of song lyrics as evidence that a person is a piece of shit. Thankfully, you don\u2019t have to search hard to find Kanye West\u2019s antisemitic footsteps on Twitter and YouTube:<\/p>\n

How fucked up is X?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so fucked up that Kanye West tweeted, \u201cI hate Jews. I\u2019m a Nazi.\u201d And got 200K likes.<\/p>\n

Now, does this prove that he was descriminatory at the school? No, but that deposition could provide a hell of a lot of leeway! Ye has had a longstanding reputation for blurting out whatever is on his mind when the cameras are rolling. Question, do you think this link<\/a> will take you to the infamous \u201cGeorge Bush doesn\u2019t like Black people\u201d blurt or the Taylor Swift snub? Oddly enough, neither! It was the time Alex Jones had to quickly distance himself from Ye because he was being too Hitler-friendly. <\/p>\n

Yeah, whatever lawyer gets tasked with deposing Yedolf Yitler <\/a>is about to have the easiest job ever. <\/p>\n
