Kanye West’s Mother, Donda West, Dies At Age 58
The mother of Kanye West, Donda West, died yesterday from complications following some sort of cosmetic surgery procedure. She was 58.
Donda West was the head of English at Chicago State University, but left that career to become her son’s manager a few years ago. She raised Kanye as a single mother after his father left when Kanye was three years old. Kanye’s song “Hey Mama” was about Donda.
Donda recently wrote a book about her experience raising Kanye entitled “Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar“.
Always tragic to see people die before their time, whether it’s from something like a car accident or something unnecessary like plastic surgery.
