Kanye West has demanded that his ex-wife Kim Kardashian remove their children from Sierra Canyon, calling the private institution a “fake school.”
In a since-deleted post on Instagram on Wednesday (February 28), Ye wrote: “Kim take my kids out of Sierra Canyon now it’s a fake school for celebrities that are used by ‘the system.’”
He added in the caption: “At this point everybody knows what ‘the system’ is code word for [eyes emoji]. 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 life because they are harder to manipulate. My two oldest know they daddy.”
Kardashian, whose divorce with the rapper was finalized in November 2022, has yet to respond.
This is not the first time that Kanye has publicly criticized Sierra Canyon School, which is located in Los Angeles and counts Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Willow Smith and LeBron James’ sons Bronny and Bryce among its alumni.
In a text conversation with Kim Kardashian that he shared online in 2022, the Chicago rap icon told his ex-wife: “Y’all don’t have [say] so over my black children and where they go to school.”
He also wrote on Instagram: “It’s not up to Calabasas or Hulu where my kids go to school. I’m not the crazy one here. It’s up. I won’t stop until I have a say so on my kids no matter what it legally takes.”
West also stated his desire for his kids to attend his own Donda Academy in an interview with ABC News Live Prime‘s Linsey Davis.
Kanye’s criticism of his kids’ school reportedly led to Kardashian footing the cost of extra security at Sierra Canyon.
In a recent rant about his $250 million legal battle with former Yeezy partner adidas, the Vultures 1 rapper made more claims about his access to his four children: North, 10; Saint, 8; Chicago, 6; and Psalm, 4.
“All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T shirt or the color of my hat but when yall 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,” he vented.
Kanye West also previously claimed that he was kept from attending his daughter Chicago’s birthday party and only learned of the location from Travis Scott.
In an online rant, he said: “I done call Kim, texted nannies, I got on the phone with Tristan [Thompson]. He asked Khloé [why] won’t nobody give me the address to my daughter’s birthday party right now.
“That’s gonna imprint in her mind that I wasn’t there for her. You get what I’m saying? They been takin’ fathers out of the homes purposefully. So I’m speaking up. I’m using my voice to say this ain’t going to keep happening.” (HipHopDx)
