<p>Rapper <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> said he&#8217;s the kind of person who would rather learn from &#8220;good conversation,&#8221; admitting that he actually hasn&#8217;t ever &#8220;read any book.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 45-year-old rapper&#8217;s recent appearance on Alo Yoga&#8217;s &#8220;Alo Mind Full&#8221; podcast, West noted that reading books isn’t his thing, reports <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/09/19/kanye-west-private-school-never-read-book/10424468002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today</a>. In the episode, titled “Ye: Music and Fashion Icon,&#8221; the rapper said he&#8217;s a bigger fan of &#8220;good conversation&#8221; as a way to learn.</p>
<p>&#8220;I actually haven&#8217;t read any book,&#8221; West replied. &#8220;Reading is like eating Brussels sprouts for me. And talking is like getting the Giorgio Baldi corn ravioli.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kanye West shared that he’s repulsed by literature, comparing books to a vegetable often despised by children. <a href="https://t.co/2OzWsBkE9n">https://t.co/2OzWsBkE9n</a></p>
<p>&mdash; HuffPost (@HuffPost) <a href="https://twitter.com/HuffPost/status/1571921236929949699?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 19, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>West’s remark was a reference to a famous pasta dish served at Giorgi Baldi&#8217;s Santa Monica restaurant, the outlet noted.</p>
<p>He also admitted to only reading the first and last paragraphs in long text messages.</p>
<p>Later, the conversation turned to West&#8217;s non-accredited private school, Donda Academy, in Simi Valley, California, as he discussed the need for “balance” in curriculum.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have to balance things with curriculums that allow for self-confidence,&#8221; the rapper shared. &#8220;Because so many of the schools and modern indoctrinations take away from the confidence that these future leaders would have in themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>The school recently made headlines after a <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/kanye-west-donda-academy-school-1234593961/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> surfaced that parents had to sign a nondisclosure agreement.</p>
<p>A description about the school on their <a href="https://donda.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> reads, &#8220;Using an ethic of integrity and care, Donda Academy prepares students to become the next generation of leaders, thinkers and innovators by providing them with a world-class education that includes a rigorous core curriculum, and an emphasis on sustainability, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2020, Kanye <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kanye-west-announces-he-is-running-for-president-of-the-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he was running for President of the United States. Less than two weeks later, he dropped out of the race, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ye-of-little-faith-kanye-west-reportedly-drops-out-of-presidential-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>West was previously married to reality star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-says-whatever-shes-doing-is-not-working-when-it-comes-to-dating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Kardashian</a>, who filed for divorce from the rapper after nearly seven years of marriage. The two share four children.</p>
