“I want to be emphatic that there’s never been a time that Kanye West did not want to do this,” said West collaborator Malik Yusef — who helped conceptualize the school — told Rolling Stone. “I think people don’t understand the gravity of that. This man always wanted to create a school in his mama’s name.”
And Yusef said that the secrecy surrounding the school is one of its main attractions. “People choose to bring their kids to Donda Academy for a sense of privacy,” he said. “Honestly, we don’t care if people know about the school,” added Donda consultant Tamar Andrews. “The people that want to come to the school are looking for a good Christian school in that area and they know that we’re there … There is also a certain notoriety that comes with being affiliated with Donda. So, I don’t know that we have to advertise, which is a blessing and a curse.”
