MIAMI (WSVN) - Superstar rapper Kanye West stopped by a South Florida school for a meeting with influential people.
The rapper, who now wants to be known as “Ye,” was at the SLAM charter school owned by Miami-native Pitbull, Wednesday afternoon.
“I heard his voice, and then I peeked, and he was walking into the elevator,” student Julien Montoya said. “I saw him.”
Ye was invited by motivational speaker Tony Robbins to tour the campus with Pitbull himself and school officials.
“Really the cutting edge on how to provide education and transform people’s lives,” Robbins said. “That’s why we’re here.”
During his visit, Ye took to Twitter to live tweet his experience.
The surprise visit comes just days after his bizarre and dramatic weekend on Saturday Night Live.
“Hi, I’m Adam, and I’m hosting the season premiere of SNL with musical guest Kanye West,” Adam Driver said on the show. “What are you up to, Kanye?”
“He’s definitely going to do something,” Kenan Thompson added.
And that he did, performing dressed as a Perrier bottle and ending the show with an unplanned pro-Trump rant.
Despite that, students at the school said they’re just happy he showed up and showed love to their school.
“That’s my favorite rapper ever since I was little,” Montoya said. “He’s my idol, and I always wanted to meet him.”
“It was a good experience to see him. He’s not a bad person,” student Rolando Aballi added. “He’s a good person, and I was happy that I saw him.”
Ye did not speak with any media following his meeting. He sneaked out through a back exit and into a waiting SUV.
