Is Donda Academy Real?
It was founded in 2022 by American rapper Kanye West. On October 27, 2022, it was reported the school closed “abruptly” after West made anti-Semitic comments in interviews and on social media.

Headquartered in Simi Valley, California, the tuition-based Christian prep school’s mission, according to its website, is to “prepare students to become the next generation of leaders” through “an ethic of integrity and care.” (West previously teased the idea of a school back in October 2020 under the name Yeezy Christian Academy.)
