It rained through an open skylight into Ye's secretive Donda Academy because the rapper didn't like glass, a former vice principal alleges
  • A former staff member alleges that a skylight was left open in the school because Ye didn't like glass.
  • The staff member filed a lawsuit accusing Donda Academy of numerous health and safety violations.

At Kanye West's secretive Donda Academy, rain poured through an open skylight into a classroom because the rapper didn't like glass, a former vice principal says in a new lawsuit.

Isaiah Meadows, who worked at the California school in various capacities for almost two years, filed the lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles County court, accusing the school of an array of health and safety violations.

"In the middle of the main classroom, a skylight was left without glass inevitably allowing rain to fall directly inside, where water would soak into the floor, which would lead to a moldy smell for the next few days," Meadows' lawsuit claims.

The reason for the glass-less window, the lawsuit says, is because West had "expressed that he did not like glass."

Meadows' suit also details a slew of other complaints, like exposed wires that at one point caused a fire to break out in the student eating area, and a constantly overflowing septic tank that created a "terrible smell."

West founded the private school — which serves pre-K through 12th grade students — in 2020 as Yeezy Christian Academy, before changing it to Donda Academy in 2022.

Meadows' explosive suit is the third suit filed from former staff at West's controversial school. A previous lawsuit alleged that students weren't allowed to use the second floor because West was afraid of stairs, and that students weren't allowed to wear Adidas or Nike attire.

In another complaint, a teacher accused the school of not actually having any books.

A lawyer for West did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. A representative for Meadows' lawyers said Meadows does not want to comment further on the lawsuit.
