Condolensces to Kanye West

Kanye West’s mother, Donda West, passed away Saturday in Los Angeles, the rapper’s publicist said late Sunday. We had heard a rumor that Donda died while having plastic surgery, but that is just a rumor at this point. West’s publicist did not reveal a cause of death. Donda West recently released a book about her son called Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From The Mother Of A Hip-Hop Superstar. A former English professor, Donda was very close to Kanye, most recently working as his manager and for his companies. So sad. Our condolences to Kanye and the West family.
