Kanye's hanging in there- Paris concert breakdown video

The world knows that my man Kanye is dealing with the recent death of his beloved mother & friend Dr. Donda West. Her funeral is tomorrow.

I wondered why there is so much EXTRA press surrounding Dr.Donda West's death. Many celebs have a mother of close family member that passes away and I don't recall there being this much press for many of them. I came up with some reasons why this tragedy has stuck the heart of entertainment America so forcefully:

1. Kanye is at the current height of his fame and popularity
2. Kanye is controversial, a fashion icon, and publicly known to fully speak his mind or have honest outbursts.
3. Kanye and his mother were publicly VERY close. They were family that worked and traveled together.
4. No death is ever at the right time but Dr.Donda West's death was not foreseen.
5. Reports say the death was caused due to post surgery complications so it was possibly avoidable.

Before the passing of his mother Kanye spoke of being excited to get married to fiance Alexis Phifer, fashion designer. He told an interviewer that he didn't want the wedding to be a spectacle because he had nothing to prove to anyone but he was happy to go and just do it because he's found someone who he really loves and is just as crazy as he is. I'm glad to hear the top selling rapper is so much in love. It is good that he has Alexis by his side in this current crisis.

God is in control of all of this of course. I continue to pray for Kanye, Alexis and the entire West family.

  1. The video is gone now. But I did see some of it. It's hard for anyone to lose their mom.

  3. I wonder why he still did the show. Why? The way he feels is normal.

  4. He still did the show in Paris (part of a tour) because he felt like his mother would have wanted him to keep the show going. He is doing it in her honor. He may have to handle things this way for him. We are all different in dealing with hardships.

  5. Oh ok. That makes sense if that is what he knows his mother to be.
    At this point though he may put off his marriage now to his fiance.
