Kanye West has given fans a look at his softer side.
The rapper has taken a break from ranting and raving and lying in bed with many naked celebrities to pay tribute to his late mother.
On Tuesday night, Mr. Kim Kardashian took to Twitter and shared a sweet message about his mom, Donda West, including a reference to daughter North West in it.
“Nori asked if the airplane could take her to heaven to see you for your birthday, I love you mom,” West wrote very simply and emotionally on the social media service.
He included with the message a throwback photo of himself and his mother.
Check out how young Kanye West looks here:
Donda West died in Novembe of 2007 due to complications from surgery.
An autopsy concluded the 58-year-old died of heart failure after she went in for what was supposed to be a simple procedure with Dr. Jan Adams.
Soon afterward, Adams was forced to give up his medical license after a series of complaints were filed against the physician.
He had a pair of DUI convictions and was behind on child support payments.
Moreover, his record showed at least four malpractice judgments against him between 2001 and 2007.
Kanye, meanwhile, most recently honored his mother at his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show in November.
During this event, he donned an gray t-shirt that featured the airbrushed pictures of his mother and his late father-in-law Robert Kardashian.
Above both photos were the words “in loving memory.”
In addition to the unique shirt, Donda West also inspired a new business endeavor for Kanye; a video game, Only One: The Game, depicts Donda riding a white pegasus into the gates of heaven.
Back in late 2015, West opened up to UK’s Q magazine, saying he feels extreme guilt over his parent’s passing.
“If I had never moved to LA, she’d be alive. I don’t want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears,” Kanye said at the time.
He added in a later interview, in regard to the aforementioned video game:
“The idea is that it’s my mother going through the gates of heaven. You’ve got to bring her to the highest gate of heaven by holding her to the light.”
We feel your pain, Kanye West.
We’re very sorry for your loss.
