Parents Sue School After Their 10-Year-Old Son Gets Expelled For Emailing YNW Melly Lyrics

by

As the legal troubles of YNW Melly continue to develop in his retrial process, his lyrics continue to be a controversial discussion outside of the courtroom. You might remember the large debate over whether or not his lyrics should be used for evidence in court. But what about their use in classrooms? New reports emerged that the parents of a 10-year-old boy enrolled in Encino’s Curtis School are suing the institution for expelling him. Why was he expelled? Well, he apparently sent lyrics from Melly’s “Murder On My Mind” via email to a classmate, including a toy gun emoji.

The fifth grader at the $38,000-a-year Los Angeles private school was the victim of an “arbitrary and capricious” decision on behalf of the school, his parents allege. “The school provided no evidence of a policy being violated or of the classmate feeling threatened,” the lawsuit reportedly claims. In addition, reports did not indicate that the Curtis School took action against the other classmate over this situation with YNW Melly lyrics. It’s unclear exactly what specific damages or applicable compensation the parents seek in their legal pursuit.

Nevertheless, the boy’s parents maintained that he’s a straight-A student with no history of behavioral issues. In fact, they even claimed that he and the other classmate “hung out during recess immediately after the Sept. 25 email exchange and also attended the school fair together at the Santa Monica Pier the following day.” In response, the Curtis School issued a statement about this YNW Melly controversy. “While we were disappointed to learn about the litigation, our priority is to ensure a safe and secure campus for all of our students. We are unable to comment on individual students.”

Meanwhile, the YNW Melly case is even affecting other criminal proceedings. For example, a murder suspect used it as an excuse for why he searched the criteria for a murder conviction. Given the massive public interest in the Melly trial, it’s not an impossibility. But it’s clear that its popularity also has some unintended consequences in various areas. So we’ll see if it has other effects or impacts.

Kanye West To Bring Back Donda Academy, But There’s A Catch

by

Kanye West has come through with a ton of different ventures over the course of his career. Overall, music has been his number one export. However, he has become a massive staple in the fashion world. Furthermore, he attempted to get into the education game a couple of years ago. Of course, this was thanks to Donda Academy. This was a private school that was supposed to lean on faith-based education. Unfortunately, the school was a bit of a disaster thanks to a disorganized curriculum and poor treatment of educators.

In fact, Ye has been at the center of some lawsuits as it pertains to the school. For instance, some of the teachers say they didn’t get paid properly. Meanwhile, others have said they were let go without any valid reasons. According to The Sun, Ye is actually looking to bring the school back in full force. However, there are going to be some major changes coming. One big change will be the name. Now, it will go by Donda Ray Academy. It is a small change, but it will certainly go a long way in distancing itself from the original institution.

While freedom of expression will still be encouraged at this new version of the school, there will reportedly be more structure. Given the lack of structure at Donda Academy, this change is probably for the best. That said, it still remains to be seen if and when the school will officially start up again. This rebrand could take a while, especially if Ye is busy working on music now. After all, he is supposed to be dropping an album on Friday. He even has one coming out on April 5th, for good measure.

Let us know what you think of Ye’s plan to bring back Donda Academy, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists.
