Things don't seem to be slowing down for musical genius, fashion icon and entrepreneur Kanye West even as he seemingly tries to turn over a new leaf. The rapper's private school, Donda has just been handed a new lawsuit.
According to a recent lawsuit, kids at Kanye West's private Christian school are only given sushi for lunch and are required to eat it on the floor without either tables or seats.
I feel like that is taking the whole Asian experience to a whole new other level. And my curiosity wants to know, did they at least have cushions or they just sat on the hard floor? Also was cutlery provided?
These are all such huge concerns.
And also the Kanye's interesting mind would have it, cutlery wasn't allowed though I was spot on with the cushions bit.
Also, according to the teachers suing the father of four and his private school, Kanye forbade the use of chopsticks or forks by students, did not want them to use colouring books or crossword puzzles, and prohibited classes from taking place on the second level because he is "afraid of stairs."
How did he survive in the house they shared with Kim Kardashian though? Their bedroom was upstairs!

Two Black women who worked as teachers at the school are suing Ye and his Donda Academy on the grounds that they were sacked in retaliation for raising concerns about alleged violations of the education, health, and safety codes as well as because of their color.
The women claim in the lawsuit that when they were hired full-time earlier this year by Donda Academy, they were the only Black teachers working there. They also claim that it didn't take them long to discover numerous health and safety violations, illegal educational practices, and a variety of peculiar rules at Kanye's school.
The women allege that among other problems, pupils are only permitted to carry water and that the sole lunch choice offered to them is sushi every single day. According to the lawsuit, Kanye spends $10,000 on sushi each week.
That is over Sh. 1.3 million shillings! Per week! On just sushi.
I feel for a Christian institution he should have just fed them chapati and meat, you know in a bead to recreate that whole mana from heaven thing.
The lawsuit claims that Kanye forbade people from wearing jewelry and did not permit artwork to be displayed on walls because he "did not like jewelry."
The teachers even claim that Kanye forbade seats, forcing students to stand or sit on foam cushions while the teachers had to stand as well or sit on a stool.
Donda Academy, the suit says, required everyone to wear all black from head-to-toe ... and Nike and Adidas brands were forbidden.
The teachers claim the school doors were physically locked from the outside during the school day, and students weren't allowed to go outside until they went home with the entire school, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, taking lunch and recess at the same time indoors.
The women claim they were ultimately fired and are attributing it to racial discrimination and retaliation.
They also contend that their salary was frequently short, sometimes by as much as $2,700 each pay period, and now they are suing Kanye and Donda Academy for compensation.
