Ye, formerly often known as Kanye West, appeared on Good Morning America today for a rare televised interview, opening up about his very public social media displays of frustration in recent months.

The rapper and fashion mogul has raised eyebrows throughout 2022 for launching into multiple tirades and posting sprees on Instagram, airing out grievances about the whole lot from his brand deals with Adidas and Gap, to his dissolving marriage and rocky co-parenting relationship with Kim Kardashian.

“That is the mother of my children, and I apologize for any stress that I actually have caused, even in my frustration, because God calls me to be stronger,” Ye, said of his posts toward his ex-wife, particularly amid the emergence of her recent relationship post-Ye. “But additionally, ain’t no person else finna be causing no stress either.”

“I would like this person to be least stressed and of best, sound mind and as calm as possible to find a way to lift those children.”

Those children, 9-year-old North, 6-year-old Saint, 4-year-old Chicago and 3-year-old Psalm, all shared with Kardashian, have been a public point of contention for Ye in recent months, as he has engaged in a one-sided social media battle along with his former spouse over things starting from the way of dress North wears to the college his two eldest children should attend.

The college battle stems from the creation of his own enrichment academy. Despite claiming to have never personally read a book, Ye opened The Donda Academy (formerly often known as Yeezy Christian Academy) in Simi Valley California. Named after his late mother Donda West and currently boasting an enrollment of about 82 students, the college recently got here under scrutiny for being unaccredited and requiring parents to sign NDAs for his or her children’s attendance.

Ye is adamant that he would really like his children to attend his academy, which he claims provides children with “practical tools that they need in a world post the iPhone being created.”

“I would like my kids to go to Donda, and I actually have to fight for a say so,” he told GMA’s Linsey Davis. He stressed that the youngsters spend time singing gospel music, and give attention to “practical skills” needed into today’s world, similar to computer programming, engineering, and farming.

“So many colleges are made to set kids up for industries that don’t even matter anymore,” he said, noting that his academy also boasts tutors that give attention to specific materials and will “actually turn your kids into, like, geniuses.”

“And in case your kids are geniuses…they’re three grade levels ahead.”

Ye also likened the battle over his children’s education to those he’s having along with his two fashion industry collaborators, Adidas and Gap.

“There are only little nuances to where there was a parallel between what was happening at Gap, what was happening at Adidas, and what was happening in my home,” he said. “It was all sort of a disregard for the voice over something that I co-created. I co-created the youngsters. I co-created the product at Adidas. I co-created the product at Gap. There’s a parallel. And the parallel does touch on discrimination.”

To avoid that discrimination, Ye recently announced the dissolution of his contract with Adidas, stating that he would now bring his popular products on to the patron – an answer which, Davis noted, was famously provided to him by media personality Sway back in 2013, which Ye infamously rebuffed on the time.

“You realize what? I’ll go ahead and say Sway had the reply,” Ye said, smiling.
