Kanye West launching Donda Academy with commitments from top HS basketball players Jalen Hooks, Robert Dillingham

Kanye West is expanding his empire from music to fashion to ... a prep school in Southern California to rival nearby Sierra Canyon High School.

West is reportedly opening a prep school in Simi Valley, California, (30 minutes outside of Los Angeles) and is focusing on building a high school prep team to rival the stacked Sierra Canyon Trailblazers.

West’s Donda Academy will be backed by Adidas and has already landed Jalen Hooks, a 6-foot-7 junior out of Indiana with offers from Kansas, Michigan State, Purdue, Illinois and more.
