Kanye West is reportedly no longer running for President of the United States in the 2024 election, according to the Daily Beast. According to this report, the Chicago rapper will instead focus on his family and his private Christian school Donda Academy. Moreover, this news came specifically from Adam Camacho, a documentary producer that Kanye hired in November of last year. He spoke of originally joining his team to make a movie for Ye, but also said that communication with the rapper fizzled out after a contract extension. However, once Camacho reached out to him again, he reportedly told him of another direction
"Right now, I am living my life," Kanye West allegedly told Camacho, based on the latter's conversation with the Beast. "Like I’m concentrating on the school, The Donda Academy, and my new wife, and my kids, and that’s it. I just want to be left alone." Another anonymous employee of the Yeezy boss backed up these claims. "His interests are focused on his children, family, and creative endeavors... Anyone that is representing Ye in any political capacity is a charlatan. There is no political shop."

Unfortunately for Kanye West, his focus on Donda Academy is not as benevolent or unprompted as it may seem. Recently, two former teachers sued the 45-year-old for a slew of policies, including allegedly forcing kids to eat sushi every day and not allowing outside food. However, the charges also brought up much more serious charges, such as racial discrimination in hiring staff and wrongful termination.
"Ye West, I am so thankful for the opportunity to be at your school," teacher Cecilia Hailey, one of the plaintiffs, expressed. "But things are not going the way they should, academically, socially or spiritually,” Hailey stated. “And you need to back down and try again with people who know what they’re doing, who can execute a vision, who can help you understand that we don’t know anything about producing albums, but we know how to educate. These children’s lives are in your hands and this vision, especially if you’re trying to carry out the vision of your mother, is just not working right now." Even though he won't run for President, the "Can't Tell Me Nothing" artist still has a lot on his plate to make up for after a few months of intense controversy.
