Kanye West strikes again! This time, shots have been fired at Kim Kardashian in a bizarre social media post where he is asking her to take their children out of Sierra Canyon, the private school his children attend. In his latest Instagram post, he urged Kim to remove his kids from the school, calling it “a fake school for celebrities that are used by “the system“. Guess who else goes to the school that is allegedly used by “the system”? NBA superstar LeBron James‘ son, Bryce James. Both James’s sons, Bronny and Bryce James, attended Sierra Canyon, California. Bryce recently returned to the school for his junior year after transferring to Notre Dame.

So, what’s Ye’s beef with the school? Sierra Canyon is a prestigious, co-educational institution favored by many Los Angeles celebrities. Kanye’s post came along with a caption that reads: “At this point, everybody knows what “the system” is code word for (looking eye emoji) I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate My two oldest know they daddy“.

This isn’t the first time Kanye has expressed his disapproval of the school. In October 2022, Ye remarked, “All they do is take all the celebs kids and throw them into this same school,” about Sierra Canyon, and accused them of “indoctrinating” students. As per West, “the system” when drafting athletes doesn’t prefer “those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate“.

So, it makes us wonder, is Sierra Canyon really that bad? If so, why is King James sending his younger son there?

LeBron James’ journey with Sierra Canyon

It’s worth noting that LA Lakers superstar LeBron James’s experience with Sierra Canyon stands in contrast. His sons, rising basketball talents Bronny and Bryce James have had an interesting journey through Sierra Canyon’s program.

In 2019, Bronny, then a freshman, joined the school alongside his brother Bryce and Zaire Wade, son of NBA legend Dwyane Wade. Coached by Andre Chevalier, Sierra Canyon already had impressive credentials, having secured the previous two state titles. The 2019-20 season saw the team under the national spotlight, with ESPN broadcasting 15 of their games.

Fast forward to November 2023, and Bryce, now a junior, embarked on his third school transfer within six months, returning to Sierra Canyon. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard had previously spent his freshman at the school alongside Bronny, who went on to play college basketball at USC. As his biggest supporter, Bron is often seen cheering on his son from the sidelines, establishing his presence within the Sierra Canyon community.

It remains unclear whether Kanye’s accusations hold merit or if his desire simply stems from wanting his children to attend his own Donda Academy. Meanwhile, from where James is sitting, in his case, “the system” picked athletes (both his sons) despite having a father actively involved in their lives. Comment your thoughts below!
