Prayers for Kanye West

Kanye's mother passed away over the weekend, due to complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure.

Donda West, 58, was a retired professor and former chairwoman of the Chicago State University English department. She was very supportive of her son. "Kanye likes to think as a hobby and speak his own mind. He was always like that," Donda West told InStyle earlier this year. "He came out of the womb looking like he had that attitude." Their family rep "asks for privacy during this time of grief."
