Kanye West’s mother, Donda West died Saturday night in Los Angeles at age 58.
Donda was a noted scholar, former chairwoman of Chicago Sate University’s English department, and an active college professor for 31 years; before she began managing her son’s career. She also recently published a book dedicated to her son titled “Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star.”
Donda had just undergone a breast augmentation and tummy tuck surgery. Sadly, she died from an allergic reaction to medication she was taking because of the surgery.
Godspeed Donda.
