Kanye's Mama Dies After Plastic Surgery
Quote:
Donda West, the former Chicago State University English professor who left higher education to guide her son to a Grammy-winning hip-hop career, died Saturday evening in Los Angeles.

She was 58.

According to Patricia West, a spokeswoman for Donda West, the cause of death was complications stemming from a "cosmetic procedure." No other details were disclosed.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office confirmed Monday that the death is under investigation but initial indications are that she succumbed to complications from surgery. Lieutenant Fred Corral, the watch commander, declined to elaborate, only saying that West was pronounced dead at Centinela Marina Hospital in Marina Del Rey at 8:20 p.m. Saturday.

Her remains will be brought to the coroner’s office later Monday and the autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, Corral said.

"The family respectfully asks for privacy during this time of grief," said a statement released by Kanye West's record label, Island Def Jam.

The 30-year-old rapper reportedly got the bad news while in London on the eve of a U.K. tour; he immediately boarded a plane for Los Angeles.

Mother and son's bond grew stronger after West's photojournalist father, Ray, left them when Kanye was 11 months old. Ray and Donda West divorced two years later, and she relocated Kanye from Atlanta to Chicago. There, she raised him as a single parent during his formative years—a time the rap star recounts with pride, citing her struggles to provide for him while working hard to forge a successful career as a teacher.

After he gained fame, first as one of hip-hop's most sought-after producer's and then as a solo artist with his 2004 debut album, The College Dropout, Kanye celebrated the positive role Donda played in his upbringing in the track "Hey Mama" off 2005's Late Registration.

"Hey, Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you/ Cuz I'm so proud of you/ I know I act a fool/ But I promise you I'm going back to school/ I appreciate what you allow for me/ I just want you to be proud of me," goes the refrain.

Later in the song, he raps: "My mama told me go to school/ Get your doctorate/ Somethin' to fall back on, you could profit with/ But still supported me when I did the opposite."

He performed the tune in his mom's honor during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, while she beamed on in the audience.

After 31 years rising through the teaching ranks to chair the English Department at Chicago State, Donda West retired in 2004 to manage her son's burgeoning career. She also headed up Super Good, the parent company of the emcee's fast-growing business empire, which includes apparel, accessories and other lifestyle products, and was the chairwoman of the Kanye West Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to increasing literacy and preventing youth from dropping out of school.

Donda West cowrote a book about their close relationship in Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar.

"I never make any important decision without consulting her," the entertainer told the Chicago Times two years ago.

Kanye West's songwriting partner, Rhymefest, appeared on Chicago radio station WCGI Sunday and paid tribute to Donda.

"She was everyone's mom," he said. "A spirit never dies, a spirit lasts forever."

No word yet on funeral arrangements.

Very weird. When I'm 58 I won't care enough to undergo plastic surgery

Re: Kanye's Mama Dies After Plastic Surgery
She was apparently undergoing a breast reduction. That can often not be for traditional 'beauty' purposes. I had a friend who had one because of back problems. It's covered in Canada, but I don't imagine most companies will cover it in the United States.

Perhaps she had always needed one, and was finally getting the chance to have one.

Re: Kanye's Mama Dies After Plastic Surgery
well I'm hearing that another doctor told her not to do any surgery cause she could possibly have a heart attack, or other complications so the original person wouldn't perform on her. So then she went to that quack...

Ohhh, not good.

That makes sense though. I'm sure Kanye would have gotten her the best doctor money could buy. He does not sound like the best...

Re: Kanye's Mama Dies After Plastic Surgery
Yeah it's all over TMZ that the doctor she went to has several lawsuits against him and his medical building is above a Quiznos somewhere.

It's a shame what happened but that's what you get when you don't listen to medical professionals.
