Kanye West Blames Himself For Mom’s Death & Love Split
November 11th, 2008 | Posted in Music News
Rap superstar Kanye West has blamed his success for the passing of his mother and the end of his relationship with Alexis Phifer.
The “Love Lockdown” hitmaker took a moment to remember those he had loved and lost while performing at London’s 02 arena on Tuesday night.
In a freestyle rap, Mr. West asked of his fans, “What would you do if this shit happened to you? You lost everything that mattered… Moved to L.A., where everything is fake… and your mum goes and does just that. Tell me what would you do if this happened to you, lost your girl and everything that mattered to you… For fame I paid the biggest cost, for fame I paid the biggest cost.”
Kanye West’s mother Donda West died from complications after a cosmetic surgery procedure in November 2007, and he broke up with fiancée Alexis Phifer in April 2008.

Kanye West Is Not A Gracious Winner, Is He?
February 11th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Music News, Television
Kanye West certainly had a lot to say during his acceptance speech for the Best Rap Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles last night.
The Louis Vuitton Don asked for the background music to be cut twice, as he took shots at beaten nominees Common and Nas.
He also dedicated the award to his mother, Dr. Donda West, who died last November.
He said, “It feels good to be home. A lot of people said hip hop is dead, but that was just Nas. And Common, you can’t drop an album the same year as me.”
As the background music began to hurry him off the stage, he pleaded, “Come on - you gonna play music on me?” He continued, speaking about his mother’s death, “I appreciate all the support and all the prayers.”
And pleaded again, “It would be good taste to stop the music there”, before continuing, “I appreciate everything and I know you are really proud of me right now and I know you wouldn’t want me to stop and you’d want me to be the number one artist in the world. And Mamma, all I’m gonna do is keep making you proud. We won this.”
Kanye had eight nominations going into the ceremony and took home four: best rap album for “Graduation,” best solo performance for “Stronger,” best rap song for “Good Life” and best rap performance by duo or group for his collaboration with Common on “Southside.”

Kanye West To Fulfill His Mother’s Last Wish
November 30th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip
Kanye West plans to carry out his mother’s last wish, and marry his fiancée Alexis Phifer by the end of the year.
Kon the Louis Vuitton Don has decided not to postpone his wedding plans in the wake of his mother Donda’s unexpected death earlier this month, because he knew she wanted him to settle down.
A friend of the family tells the National Enquirer, “His mother’s sudden death brought into focus just how short life really is. Kanye doesn’t want to wait any longer to make Alexis his wife.
“He believes that this is what his mom would want him to do. Kanye knew how much his mother loved Alexis and how she was looking forward to seeing them married.”
Before her tragic death, Donda went public with her feeling for her daughter-in-law-to-be, calling Phifer “a very outstanding young woman,” adding, “I can’t think of one negative thing I would say about her — even in private.”

Kanye Is In Denial Over Mother’s Death
November 15th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity News
Kanye West was unaware of his mother’s plans to undergo plastic surgery and is “in denial” about her unexpected death, according to the New York Daily News.
A family friend says, “I don’t think Kanye was aware Donda was getting the surgery, or certainly the extent of it. He loved and supported her just the way she was. He thought she was beautiful. (But) Donda had image issues, like a lot of women.”
Dr. Donda West’s funeral has been scheduled to take place in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Tuesday, November 20.

Dr. Jan Adams Loses TV Show
November 15th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity News
Dr. Jan Adams, who performed a tummy tuck and a breast reduction operation on Kanye West’s mom the day before she passed away, has had his cable TV show canceled.
The TV bosses at Discover Health Cable Network pulled the plug on his plastic surgery reality show.
But its business as usual for Adams, who has been seeing clients and continuing his work behind closed doors at his California practice since Donda West’s death on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Donda’s body has been released to Kanye, who is planning to bury his beloved mom in Oklahoma City, where she grew up. Our love and prayers still go out to Kanye and his family. Keep your head up, Ye!

Dr. Donda West’s Autopsy Results
November 14th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity News
An autopsy performed on the body of Kanye West’s late mother, Dr. Donda West, has failed to reveal the cause of death.
Experts are now relying on the results of extensive toxicology tests, which may be able to provide clues in the investigation into the death of Donda West.
Capt. Ed Winter, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, said it could now be several weeks before an official conclusion is reached.
The 58-year-old is reported to have suffered complications following cosmetic surgery, which may have led to her death.
However, Dr. Jan Adams, who performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Donda West the day before she died, has denied any responsibility, insisting he has “done nothing wrong”.
Our prayers and best wishes go out to Kanye and his family.

Donda West’s Plastic Surgeon Speaks Out
November 13th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity News
The plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, insists he is not responsible for her death.
Donda died suddenly on Saturday at the Centinela Feeman Regional Medical Center in Los Angeles, following complications arising from cosmetic surgery.
However, surgeon Dr. Jan Adams denies making a mistake during the tummy tuck and breast reduction operation — or causing Donda’s death.
According to TMZ.com, Adams claims it is likely she died from a heart attack, pulmonary embolism or massive vomiting.
The L.A. County Coroner’s Department will carry out an autopsy on Tuesday to determine what killed the 58-year-old.
Kanye West has thanked fans for their messages of support. He also urges people to make a donation to the charity he co-founded with his mother, the Kanye West Foundation, instead of sending flowers.
My donation is in the mail…
Also, we have learned Dr. Adams is not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
And that’s not all — the surgery lasted 8 hours, which is twice as long as it should have.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kanye and his family.
