Kanye Controls His Mom's Benjamins

Posted May 29th 2008 2:08PM by TMZ Staff

Kanye West now has the control over his late mother Donda's scratch, and can spend it where he sees fit.

TMZ was in an LA court this morning where a judge granted a petition to make Kanye and Shawn Gee (West's money guy) co-executors of Donda's estate. Which means they now control her cash, which it turns out, is less than $250,000.

Donda died without a will.

8. U really need to do a will if u have ANY assets, plus, every think abt what happens to ur kids if u don't have one and both parents have a tragedy?, well family fights over custody. You can do one for under $200 and have peace of mind. Think abt it.

9. kanyes mom is no longer here, have respect for him as well as his mom...have you ever heard RIP ..... key word peace, but instead people would rather talk about how much money she left, thats pretty ridiculous.

10. only $250,000?

Maybe Kanye put her money in his account for safe keeping?

or maybe he gave her spending money?

wasn't she his manager? wouldn't she have more money...

well since she was getting "work" done, I guess that adds up.


RIP Donda

15. hell if thats all she was worth, then now i understand why she went to a McDonalds to have surgery done by that quack Dr Adams (and doctor is used very loosely here). pocket change for kanye!
