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.

The mother, author and entrepreneur is an esteemed graduate of Clark-Atlanta University, and Auburn University where she received her master’s and then her doctorate. She was an English professor at Chicago University for 31 years until becoming her son’s manager. Kanye’s mom was the CEO of West Brands, LLC at the time of her death, as well as the Chair of the Kanye West Foundation. Dr. West’s book, Raising Kanye, is a tribute to families and children everywhere. And through his music, it’s clear how close Kanye was to his mother.

Wow that blows. And for something like cosmetic surgery. Any idea what the procedure was?

yeah it is really sad considering it was most likely a cosmetic surgery that was not truly needed.

They're saying it was a tummy tuck and breast reduction and that the surgery wound up taking like 8 hours when it should have only been 4, which either means something went wrong or the doctor didn't know what he was doing.
Furthermore, she was apparently sent home instead of to recovery, which leads me further to believe that he didn't know what he was doing.

She had a consultation with a reputable plastic surgeon, that advised her against the procedure because he discovered a heart condition that she needed to take care of first, and referred her to an internist. She didn't go the appointment set up for her, and she went to another doctor that did the procedure at Centinela Freeman Hospital (not a great hospital to go to). The surgeon went ahead with the procedure (breast reduction and tummy tuck) and sent her home, citing that she "seemed okay". She went home and died.

Sucks for Kanye, I bet he's wishing they would have listened to that doctor.
