Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West has demanded Kim Kardashian remove their four kids from the prep school he claims is a puppet of “the system.”
The 46-year-old rapper, who’s largely derailed his career with controversial and often antisemitic rants, called out his ex-wife Wednesday night in a since-deleted Instagram post written in all-caps.
“Kim take my kids out of Sierra Canyon now,” the “Heartless” rapper wrote of the private prep school in L.A.’s Chatsworth neighborhood, whose students span from preschool to 12th grade. “It’s a fake school for celebrities that are used by ‘the system.'”
Ye, who has also made problematic remarks targeting the Black community, elaborated in the post’s caption that he believes “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,” continued Ye, who suffers from bipolar disorder. “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 [who their] daddy is.”
Multiple commenters questioned why Ye would publicly discuss the family matter, let alone disclose to 20 million followers where his kids attend school.
Sources close to the situation told TMZ that Kardashian was certainly not happy with Ye’s public announcement.
“Kim is frustrated with his constant public attacks and naming of the school because it creates safety and security concerns each and every time for their children,” an insider said.
In his opposition to the school they’ve attended since pre-K, “the only solution Kanye has offered … has been placing them with unaccredited teachers and his own unaccredited Donda school, which has been riddled with lawsuits,” another source revealed.
Ye and the reality star — who finalized their divorce in late 2022 — share daughters North, 10, and Chicago, 6, as well as sons Saint, 8, and Psalm, 4. The stars’ divorce agreement reportedly stipulates that while they’ll continue to share custody, if one parent is incapable of making decisions, the other will have final say.
TMZ’s documentary “Kanye West: Unhinged But Unstoppable,” which aired earlier this month on Fox, featured psychology experts discussing whether Kardashian should moderate her ex’s relationship with their kids due to his multiple controversies and mental health struggles.
Kardashian in late 2022 told the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast that while it’s “really f–king hard” to shield her kids from their dad’s headline-making antics, she has “definitely protected him,” and will continuing doing so, for the sake of her kids’ relationship with their father.
Ye’s star power, however, makes that a slightly “deluded” endeavor, Los Angeles psychiatrist Dr. Kyle Smith said in the TMZ special.
“You marry a person who’s famous for being flamboyant, famous for being erratic,” Smith said, implying Kardashian should have known all along the issues that could arise. “When it goes awry, well then I’m sorry!”
