Celebrity Justice
Kanye's Mom Didn't Have Son's Jack

Kanye West has filed legal papers in the estate of his mom, Donda, who tragically died after a plastic surgery procedure last November.
Read the docs
In the legal papers, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Donda's assets are listed at $150,000. Interesting, since Donda worked as Kanye's manager.

Donda died without a will. Kanye is the sole beneficiary, and has asked that family friend Shawn Gee, a music industry exec, be named as the co-administrator of the estate.

16. both him and his mother were greedy they both act like they have never had anything right out of the getto sad.
he will not last long pretty soon he will fade away into the past.
i never thought he was any good just another street coner singner that someone told him he could sing.
the best thing for him to do is write music and stay out of the public eye.

19. Let me state that some people that make comments are stuck on stupid (SOS). Michelle - you're the only one that made a lot of sense - but of course you can't get a whole lot of people to agree because they are dumb As'

20. Strange, my mom has assets way over $150,000 and she doesn't have a multi-millionaire son. It reeks of what happened to Tupac, he lived like a millionaire, but he in fact had nothing. Suge Knight gave him houses, cars and money, yet none of it was really his. Sure he had a nice car, but it was really Suge Knights car in Knight's name. This lady should have had much more than she had. If it was my mother, I would have bought her the house, bought her a luxury car or cars. And I would have put it all in her name. And on top of that she would have had at least a six figure salary just as mad money.

21. I feel horrible for Kanye , he will miss his mother , he was very close to her .

I'm far from being a fan of his , but my thoughts and prayers are with him .

Everyone griefs in different ways . He will always remember his mother .

$150,000 isn't alot of money in there world , but I have a feeling Kanye

made sure his mother had everything .............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Two weeks ago , my oldest sister died , and she only had one son , My sister had money

but my nephew isn't worried about the money , he has it . The differences here nephew

has to take care of everything in which his mother had ......Because he doesn't have anyone

else too , because most the family doesn't live in the same state.

HIs state of mind wasn't the best , each day Kanye will get better , just like nephew.....

25. Did anyone think maybe he kept the money so she wouldn't have to pay taxes on it? Or maybe she didn't want his money?

26. If you live in a house and drive vehicles that belong to your son, and the only money you have is that which your son gives you.......well, you die with (many times, LESS than) 150,000 dollars in assets. Kanye took care of his mother. She doesn't have any bigger asset than HIM! Sheesh. Leave these poor people ALONE!

29. I like kanye but....his momma died for her vein...she was denied by not one but two plastic surgions,and yet she went to find one that would do the surgery she wanted.....against 2 doc's advise....I'm sure he feels some guilt for funding the surgery,he probably didn't know about the warnings she had...she killed herself...with enough money you can have anything done..she knew the risks...but image was everything.
