According to Young, Black & Fabulous:
Reports have been pouring in since this morning stating that
Kanye West’s mother,
Dr. Donde West, has died. News sources and sources close to the family state that due to complications during cosmetic surgery, Donde West passed away last night. Chicago’s #1 hip hop station WGCI in Chicago, IL first reported the news today with no details, as well as
People.com and
Allhiphop.com. Rhymefest, who is very close to Kanye, was on WGCI today expressing his condolences and stated that Kanye is on his way back from London now. I also received an e-mail from a member of Kanye’s family earlier today confirming that Dr. West did die during surgery complications, and Kanye was informed very early this morning. I waited to post anything about this sensitive situation until I had credible sources confirm, and they have.
