This is horrible. My prayers go out to Kanye and his family. My father passed two years ago…I know the pain Kanye….but it does get better with time as long as you stay strong and remember what your mother wanted for you. Make everyday that you live, a dedication to the one you loved that passed. God will get you through it.

I am so sorry to hear this, man.
Kanye you have people around you that will be there for you, and I am sure that your fiance is helping get through this.
My grandmama died at 60 unexpectedly…the pain is still there, you don’t really get over that…you just know how to deal with it in new ways everyday.
My heart goes out to you. Just know that you are not alone.

John 5 VS 28-29 Say do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and vs 29 And come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of LIFE and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. RIP DR WEST ! MAY OUR GOD JEHOVAH COMFORT THE WEST FAMILY AT THIS TIME.

OH MY GOD. MY AUNT PASSED AWAY TONIGHT AT 7:02 PM FROM CANCER, I JUST LEFT HER HOME. I COME ON THE LOOP AND FIND THAT KANYE’S MOTHER PASSED AT 58. THIS LIFE IS TOO SHORT. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO OBTAIN MATERIAL GAIN, OBTAIN SPIRITUAL FOOD, BECAUSE THAT IS TRULY THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN LIFE. DON’T GET ME WRONG THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OBTAINING WEALTH OR RECEIVING AND EDUCATION, BUT JUST REMEMBER THAT TRUE EDUCATION AND WEALTH COMES FROM UP ABOVE. KANYE’S MOTHER IS RESTING IN PEACE NOW, SHE IS NOW AWAITING IN A PEACEFUL SLEEP FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER TO GIVE HER THE DAY THAT CHRIST DIED FOR US ALL TO HAVE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE WEST FAMILY.

My condolences goes out to Kanye and his family. His mother was a very smart and intellegent woman. And I hope through prayer, lover and time, Kanye will be able to deal with this sudden tragedy.
We all know that Kanye was a momma’s boy and he will need all the support he can get in order to get him through his mother’s death. This is very sad to say the least.

I really wanna cry right now hearing this news and reading eeryone’s comments. We all know the one day everyone even our parents have to die, but that unexpected things is what kills me! Just to think that she was fine in the morning and no longer apart of this world by the end of the day…
I’ve been there and I’m really going to pray Kanye’s strength in the Lord on this one, at least she got to see her baby boy be successful

I can’t even begin to think what Kanye is going through right now. Almost all of his songs express some love for his mom in one way or another. Anyone that knows his music knows just how much Kanye’s mother mean to him.
Where ever Kanye is right now, I hope and prayer that God gives him some type of peace at this time. I’m so happy that he has a chick in his life to comfort him at this time b/c I’m sure he needs someone.

I am deeply saddened by this turn of events and wish to extend sincere condolescenes to Kanye and his family. This definitely hits home as I too was very close to my mother and it continues to hurt living without her. To Kanye, you will always remember this date and reflect on the last time you looked in her eyes before her passing. If you are able to receive any comforting advice at this time, maybe you can utilize your gift of song for some form of therapy. You displayed a strong bond with your mother and it was evident that she was the foundation for who you are. She would understand your grief, yet she would love to look down on her son continuing to strive the become the man she envisioned. Stay strong and embrace the memories you to shared.
