I hope people will respect his privacy. This is the worst thing to happen to a young black male so close to his mother. May she rest in peace. Will definitely pray for him and his family.

I don’t even know what to say. Kanye spoke so highly of his mom and spoke of her so often, that I almost felt as though I knew her. It’s terrible losing a loved one, especially unexpectedly. I will definitely keep the family in my thoughts & prayers.

Wow…RIP. She brought such a creative and talented son into this world.
I’m reading that her death was due to complications from cosmetic surgery. That makes it even more tragic.

Prayers go out to the West family. Millions do find Kanye West extremly cocky and into himself and perhaps this will bring him back DOWN to earth. R.I.P. Ms West

You took the words right outta my keyboard. This will definitely bring his ass back to reality and take his head out of his ass. If this don’t work then………..

This very sad…but i do send my love and Prayers to Kanye and his family. I dont know how it feels to lose a parent so i wont say i know how he feels, but i do know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The family might not see the light right now but its there, and i know God will guide them to it and help heal this family in its time of mourning.

I am choked up at this, because like Kanye, I have a very strong relationship with my mom. I can’t imagine the pain he’s feeling right now, but the most I can do is pray that God gives him the strength and peace he will need. I pray that his family and loved ones will keep him in the Word.

This dude just lost his mom and some of yall talking about how cocky he is??
How would you feel if this happened to you and you read or heard somebody saying that about you and whatever character flaw other ‘think’ YOU might have? For all we know Kanye could have just being doing all of that for publicity…that’s certainly worked. Leave your condolences but I just find it disrespectful to say that about someone who just lost their mom.
Got to be 50 cent fans with that nonsense.

When I first heard about this, I assumed and hoped it would just be another cruel rumor. But it looks like its turning out to be true? My God! That is so sad, and hate to be redundant, but unexpected. It must hurt like hell; I don’t know what to say. I don’t like to say “sorry” because I simply do not know how it feels to lose a loved one. I feel it doesn’t really say anything in my heart; I hope him & the family are coping. I know this hurts like hell. Keep your head up bruh.

#180 - I agree!
The man just lost his mother and they’re talking about “hopefully this will bring his cocky ass down to earth”….Are you people serious????? What kind of ish is that to say when someone is going through this kind of pain!
Anyone who is a Kanye fan (even those who aren’t) knows he is crazy about his mother and the lyrics he wrote about her made you feel like you knew her too!
This is so sad to her about - Intelligent Black Woman Gone! R.I.P. Dr. West!!!

I know Kanye must be feeling crazy right now, he was in London when it happened!! He was so close to his mom, this must one of the hardest things to go thru, because his momma was still a young mom (although you’re never totally prepared for it, but it’s less of a shock when they’re 75 and more), I don’t dare to imagine what my life would be without my mother. My prayers go out to the West family, Kanye stay strong!! God rest Donda’s soul. OMG!

oh, Kanye, I have loved this man from when he started and I feel for him. I cannot believe his mother has passed. Everyone knows his mom was his everything, and his song dedicated to her was beautiful; he’ll keep his head up, for real. God bless him and his family, thats so unexpected. Rest in Peace, Mrs. West.

OMG!! NOOOO!! That’s so sad. He was very close with his mother and when things like this happen it makes you reflect on your life and thank the lord for every day. Love your family and friends and NEVER EVER take them for granted. I’m from Newark NJ and i got a chance to kick it and chill with KanYe back in 2002 when he lived here briefly, even back then before the fame he carried himself with the same strong swagger as he does now. You have to be stronger now brother. RIP Dr. D. West

PS: and to all the people making negetive comments about KanYe’s ego and sayin stuff like “he’s too cocky, maybe this will calm him down” you have to remember that we are all human and not perfect. Hell i thought he was kinda too sure of himself when he told me back in the day to my face that he was gonna be where he is now, but someones so called ego does not justify death or hoping death “calms him down”. We ALL have or have had a mother and you only get one. just a thought. peace

Awh! I’m fighting back tears as I write this! I know Kanye Loved his Mama! I truely can’t think how this man feels. With all his success I know he would give it all up for 1 more day with his mother! Poor poor Kanye! I just wanna give him a hug and say Brutha I’m here 4 you! If you have your mother I urge you all to hug her a tell her you love her because she may not be there tommorow! I live in LA so I know they schould be getting a Candle light Visual together a Leimert Park! God loves and respects everything you have done for the world in your time her Ms. West! Love U and my prayers go out to the rest of the West Family!
P.S. I was just listening to Kanye’s CD heavy this whole week! It is truely a loss to this world. Ms. West you raised a great son despite what anyone has said or may say thats negative!
