I am still on the fence about this story. I'll give it until the morning before I believe it. I am skeptical because certain reports are stating that she died having a tummy tuck and breast implants. Call me naive, crazy, or whatever, but I don't see his mother needing breast implants.
Secondly, it's just one story picked up and reported by various sources. I know that news typically operates like this, but it is literally ONE story that is repeated and each reporting sources has subbed their name as the person that has "confirmed" the story or spoke with the "spokesperson."
Lastly, I just found it strange that this "spokesperson" was speaking under anonymity "because all family members had not been contacted."

Who else is there to contact if Kanye was contacted? It's just all too strange to me...
The only thing that gives this story some credence is the fact that Kanye stated in his song "Roses" off the
Late Registration album that his grandmother was having difficulties because she her heart couldn't take the anesthesia.
[hijack] Ok, for real, don't think that I'm a nerd because I know that. I loves me some Kanye, so I know most of his songs. Plus I was listening to the album earlier.

Maybe it's something that runs in the family.
I'm waiting for a more definitive news release.
