R.I.P.
Donda West Laid to Rest

Kanye West buried his mother, Dr. Donda West, today in Oklahoma City, Okla.


The ceremony was held at the True Vine Ministry church, which can hold up to 2,500 people. Beyonce and Jay-Z attended the services, and John Legend and Anita Baker performed, according to AccessHollywood.com.

Kanye reportedly broke down inside the church while talking about his mother, saying he wanted her to not "rest in peace, but rest in paradise."

I guess she only touched the black ones right? lol Anyhow...Im not white anyways I was just making an observation.

62. Kanye is a poser and talentless hack who is scripting these "mama mourn" sessions as part of his lame act. Don't play along with this racist nobody.

And what was his mama doin' in plastic surgery anyway?

64. @College grad is on foodstamps

Apparently, you know more about foodstamps then i do, cause I don't get them. The only card i have is a DEBIT card to my account where my paycheck is Direct Deposited....sorry! But don't worry I won't quite working anytime soon, so they'll keep taking taxes out of my check and you'll still be able to receive your benefits. And like i said I'm sure there were some white people there, I even saw some in the video. So quite trying to make it like no whites were there b/c they were damn you even watched the video yourself, surely you aren't that blind!

65. AccessHollywood is a lie! The people walking behind the casket were not family members they were part of the local choir here in OKC and no one performed this was a funeral not a concert for God's sake Nor did he break down he showed the same amount of emotion anyone would who had just lost their mother. I can't believe I am saying this but if I was looking for information on a celeb. TMZ would be the place to come I know you guys lie to but DANG at least you don't invent stuff out of nowhere.

68. I feel him, My Mother died August 20, 2005 five days before her birthday and it still seems like it was yesterday, anybody that posts something negative about him is a devil that has no soul. How could anybody have a problem him if you never met him, if he say something that you don't agree with , so what, he's a grown ass man. some people are just evil by nature. I Hope you have peaceful journey Dr. Donda West, Kanye hold your head up and just remember everything your mother taught you.

69. When i found out my Mother had few hours to live I drove 5 hours from louisville to chattanooga and i made it down just in time. That - to this day- was the hardest thing i've ever had to do. If you haven't lost a parent, you have no idea how hard it's gonna get when you do. My mother was my earth. R.I.P Dr. Donda West , my heart is with you Kanye.

74. First of all I want to tell everybody that have a loveone that not here
with us today to help celebrate Thanksgiven and Christmas that our
loveones is having a feast in Heaven with God and Jesus and our
generations that went before us. We should always remember that
there more of our generations in Heaven that it is on earth. This is
the hardest time for all of us, but it not so harder time for them, because
they know one day that we will be there to help celebrate with them.

To Mr. West you is a young gentleman and God is testing you to see
how you will do after losing your precious mother. If you want to
join her oneday you got to keep doing the right things and that goes
for everybody including myself. Don't let the evil things that people
say stop you from loving God and yourself and the people that there to
support you. Sometimes we get evil thoughts in our mind that the time
to flip that Black Book open and let God guide through it. Stay the person you are
and not what the world want you to be.
