Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian and the executive director of Kanye West's charity, Donda's House, Rhymefest, exchanged barbs on social media after he issued a public plea to Drake for help with the organization.
He tweeted: “Please help us rebuild Kanye’s mothers house for the youth of Chicago. I spoke to Kanye about it. His response was f**k the youth of Chicago.”
Mrs. Kardashian West responded on twitter, "“Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST You’re over levergenging sic Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation.”
Rhymefest had reasons to be concerned about the non-profit organization according to tax records reviewed by RadarOnline.com.
Donda's House, was founded in 2013, to help the troubled youth of Chicago and give them music lessons.
Rhymefest issued a response to Kim Kardashian, stating, , "How can you criticize an organization that you've never physically been to OR that you've never even talked to the Executive Director or any of the team."
