The Mother & Inspiration Of Hip-Hop's Favorite Son "Kanye West" Has Sadly & Unexpectedly Died After 'Complications' From Cosmetic Surgery.
Donda West was responsible for raising Mr West alone from the age of 3, Kanye has always been extremely close to his mother & her influence was accredited to helping make him such a success. His love & respect for his 'Mama' was documented in his 2005 heartwarming track "Hey Mama".
Apart from supporting Kanye in his career, Donda was also a well respected academic, who was head of English at Chicago State University, before leaving the position to concentrate her efforts in helping Kanye. She served as Kanye's Manager, as well as writing & releasing her own book entitled "Raising Kanye".
Friend & mentor "Jay Z" ask for a moment of silence at a performance on Saturday night, saying; "We Got You Kanye, Stay Strong". Ye is due to start touring the UK in 10 days time, this may obviously be delayed or canceled as a result of such sad news. At the time of her death Kanye was in the UK, reportedly shooting the video for his next single; "Flashing Lights".
The West family made a short statement saying they; "Respectfully ask for privacy during this time of grief".
I have great respect for Kanye & I think that he is strong enough to take anything life throws at him, still, this is going to be a massive loss for him & I send all the love in the world to him & his family. I hope that the press can now leave them alone & let them deal with this as they need to.
For those who need a little reminding of Kanye's love for his 'Mama', listen to his tribute track below.
