KANYE West has been slapped with a lawsuit after a former teacher at Donda Academy said he didn’t have any windows at the school.
The Donda Academy is located in Ventura County, California, and the institution was founded by Kanye, 46.

Its mission statement is: “Using an ethic of integrity and care, Donda Academy prepares students to become the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators.”
Now, according to NBC, Ye is being sued by a former official and teacher from the academy.
The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court and claims that the school had sanitation and electrical issues.
The documents state the septic tank overflowed multiple times, there was no hot water, and an electrical fire started in the school.
On top of that, the plaintiff said that windows and skylights were left open to the elements because Kanye didn’t like glass.
Isaiah Meadows was a former assistant principal at the rapper’s former academy, Yeezy Christian Academy.
Isaiah claims that he was suspended, his pay was docked, and he was fired for complaining about the conditions at the school.
The suit also states that his rent was supposed to be covered by the school, but wasn’t.
This cost him tens of thousands of dollars for the home he rented in Calabasas.
Kanye, Donda Academy, Yeezy Christian Academy, and school officials were all named as defendants.
NOT THE FIRST
This lawsuit isn’t the first allegation to be brought against Kanye and the school he has envisioned.
In a different suit filed this year that was found by NBC, several former teachers claimed wrongful termination against the academy.

Those teachers claimed that the school didn’t have a custodial or medical staff.
It was also alleged that there was a lot of bullying at the school.
Other rules seemed to ban any non-Yeezy or black clothes as well as the use of forks.
WHAT THE HECK IS DONDA
The Yeezy rapper launched Donda Academy, a school named after his late mother that provided Balenciaga uniforms.
Donda Academy claims to be able to provide its students with a world-class education including its “rigorous core curriculum, and an emphasis on sustainability, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.”
On October 26, 2022, faculty, students, and parents were made aware that the school will be temporarily closed for the remainder of the year.
In an email chain obtained by The Times, Donda Academy principal Jason Angell disclosed: “At the discretion of our founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately.
“Our leadership team will be working diligently to assist all families during this transition, ensuring that every scholar has what they need to succeed in their next community in a prompt and gracious manner.
“We are confident that our scholars will continue to advance as the creative innovators, courageous influencers, and academic leaders of the next generation,” the email concluded as the institution confirmed they are not scheduled to reopen until September 2023.
Donda Academy stopped accepting applications from prospective students for the upcoming year on June 10, 2023.
According to the academy’s site: “We are a tuition-based school. Everyone is welcome to apply regardless of financial situation.
“Financial aid and scholarships are available for students who qualify.”
The academy ranges in classes available for students from Pre-K through 12th grade.
