Kanye West is again publicly airing his disagreements over parenting with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
The 46-year-old rapper took to Instagram late on Wednesday night to beg the 43-year-old reality star to remove their children from the exclusive private elementary school that they currently attend.
‘Kim take my kids out of Sierra Canyon now it’s a fake school for celebrities that are used by “the system,”‘ he wrote in all capital letters.
Kanye, who founded his own unaccredited Christian school Donda Academy in 2022, cryptically explained what the ‘system’ was in his accompanying comment, which also suggested that his relationship with his two youngest children is lacking.
‘At this point everybody knows what “the system” is code word for [wide eyes emoji],’ he began.

West urged his ex to take their kids out of Sierra Canyon and claimed the ‘system’ had taken his kids from him. He also claimed his oldest two had a stronger bond with him
‘I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children,’ he claimed, though a judge awarded Kim and Kanye joint custody with ‘equal access’ to their children at the conclusion of their custody battle.
‘When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate,’ he continued, without evidence.
The rapper concluded by claiming: ‘My two oldest know they daddy is.’
West shares four children with his ex: North, 10; Saint, eight; Chicago, six; and Psalm, four.
When the Monster rapper is seen with his children, he is most often accompanied by his eldest, North, and sometimes by Saint, though public appearances with Chicago and Psalm are far rarer.
North even made a guest appearance on his latest album, the Ty Dolla Sign collaborative LP Vultures 1, which was released earlier this month.
West has previously clashed with Kardashian about the school their children attend, and he has pushed to have them go to his Donda Academy instead.
They previously had worked out a compromise in which the children would attend Sierra Canyon for the school day, then go to West’s school for choir practice.
In 2022, Kim began paying for Sierra Canyon to hire additional security in response to her ex-husband’s controversial and offensive comments, including several antisemitic outbursts.
However, she made it clear that she wasn’t concerned about West harming the children, but she feared for their safety after he publicly named their school during a rant about their education.
Shortly after his antisemitic outbursts in late 2022, the Donda Academy announced that it was abruptly closing until the start of the following school year.
The private school, which is named after the rapper’s late mother Donda West, later said in an email to parents that it was reopening the following day, but the school’s current status is unclear.
Parents of the school claimed they are required to sign non-disclosure agreements for their children attend, though a consultant for the school later claimed that the agreements are only ‘informal.’

Families are required to pay $15,000 for yearly tuition, and students are reportedly required to wear all-black Balenciaga uniforms.
West also reportedly required all student classes to be concentrated on the first floor of the school due to a fear of stairs, and he had stipulations that Nike and Adidas clothing wasn’t allowed for the students, two former staffers suing the school claimed in their lawsuit.
The hitmaker previously claimed in a 2022 conversation with right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson that the administration at Sierra Canyon tries to ‘indoctrinate’ students.
West admitted earlier that year that Kardashian raises their children ‘80 percent of the time,’ despite being granted equal access to the kids.
