NDA Ye: Kanye West’s Donda Academy Lead By 28-Year-Old Choir Director
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Sean Zanni / Getty Kanye West is serious about opening more private schools under his Donda Academy umbrella. However, the implementation of his educational institution is raising a lot of questions about how legit they are when it comes to academics. Rolling Stone investigated the Donda Academy in Simi Valley, CA and the report makes it seem like despite what may be his best intentions, Ye just might be getting fleeced. Only more questions were asked as the outlet tried to pin down info on the private school’s academics and faculty. The most immediate cause for concern, from the outside looking in, is that parents reportedly have to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to have their children attend the school.

Keanu Reeves to Return for Constantine Sequel
