Well acc NBCYe is being sued by a former academy official and teacher.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court and alleges that the school has plumbing and electrical problems.

Kanye, Donda Academy, Yeezy Christian Academy and school officials were named as defendants.
NOT THE FIRST
