Donda West Update, Kanye Issues Statement

by Krush Dallas on November 13th, 2007

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1750/1756/4223/asset.jpgAccording to TMZ.com, Donda West visited a plastic surgeon a few weeks prior to her death who refused to perform procedures on her due to a health condition that may have resulted in a heart attack.

Reportedly, Beverly Hills physician, Dr. Andre Aboolian, was set to perform a tummy tuck as well as a breast reduction on Ms. West, however he informed her that first she needed clearance from an internist whom he recommended. Apparently, Ms.West never visited that doctor, and had the procedures performed elsewhere.

According to reports, Ms. West called 911 on the night of her death. Reportedly, at 7:35 PM on Saturday evening, paramedics responded to a 911 call and took Ms. West to nearby Centinela Freeman Hospital in Marina del Rey. They said it was a "sick person call."

A hospital spokesperson reported to TMZ that West was brought to their ER around 8:00 PM Saturday night. They attempted to resuscitate her but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. She was oficially pronounced dead around 8:30 PM the same night.

The following statement was released by Kanye's Camp Monday evening:

“Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.

After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country.

The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what’s behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West’s name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute.”

Kanye West Foundation
8560 W. Sunset Blvd.
West Hollywood, CA 90069

We send our condolences out to the entire West family. Continue to check defsounds.com for the latest updates on the story.

i guess we can thank Nas for that 1^^^^^^^^^,say hello to 100,000 more jenna 6’s ……..but my thoughts is like this i know a 100 kats moms who died,no one gives a fuck, why do u have to be famous for someone to care about ur mother passing..i see so many dickriders, is a damn shame,because there is a big difference from being a fan than being a stan , all u lil wayne stans know…..but we should get over celebrity hype and focus on what really matters.WE ARE ALL EQUAL

Its not that he is famous its just that his mother’s death is so public and in your face news. His mom dying was nation wide news. If your mom died and it was nation wide news then ppl would send you their sorrow too.

First off, my condolences to the West family.

Now:
The album is no excuse for them to use it. If you allow it to be an excuse you are falling for their mind games. In which case that would make you…well…an idiot. In your example if you accept that persons explination of why they said Nigger youd have to be one. Only a fool would believe that a white person who says nigger is saying it cuz of rap music or Nas’ album and we should not let anyone get away with using that excuse.
I want the ones who say it secretly to come out and let it be known who they are. I want black people to begin to get over the word and understand that its just a fuckin word and cannot stop or hinder you from doing anything you set out to do. An yes im a motha fuckin stand up guy my nigga!

Deon11 shut the fuck up, u don’t no me from adam’s and eve, and i could have cared less that u didn’t like what i said. And the fact of the matter is “THIS SHIT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED”, 58 Years old, she can’t make kids no more, u can’t have your period no more, your life is basically over, u don’t need a tummy tuc or breast reduction to try to make u look like a young girl again, thats what age does to u, so how da hell y’all niggas wanna say that i’m wrong for saying that shit. It’s all apart of life. Instead of mourning her death u guys should be happy that she left this fucked up world and is in a different place. I would tell kayne the same shit too, death is a loss but also a blessing, read your bibles and get a better understanding of life before u come at me, pussyass deon. And if u looking for me, i’m in Dade county, Miami,305, What UP.
If your mom died the same way in a Dr’s chair knowing that the procedure may have killed her, who would u be mad at? The Dr, or your dead mom, or would u say if she had listen she would have still been there?

You missed the point. You started out disrespecting her by calling her a stupid bitch and accused her of eating her son’s money. Then, you turn around and say “R.I.P though” like that justifies your statement. You’re right that death is a double edge sword, but you didn’t need to call her names. Like I said, she paid the ultimate price for her so-called ignorance. Adding insult to injury is unnecessary… Besides, you don’t want anyone to call your mom a stupid bitch at her funeral… I say it once, I’ll say it again. RESPECT THE DEAD no matter the reason

Dumb ass. I thought they got rid of you. That’s the problem with white supremacists. Their ancestors kidnapped black people, and now they’re bitter because black people are making a bigger impact on the world than white people (in some cases) and now they wanna say “go back to Africa” knowing damn well they don’t wanna buy or make a boat. These mahfuckas should go back to Europe

PS: I’m pretty sure you just want attention. I’m not even sure if you’re really white. You probably got picked on by some black kids when you were young so now talking this nigger shit over the Internet makes you feel good about yourself. You’re a failure at life if you need to talk that kind of ignorance. Eat a dick and die
