aww.. that's really rough. it's so horrible to lose your mother, and to be in the public eye while coping with the grief is terrible. i don't think anyone would be upset if he took time off to deal.

*best wishes and prayers to kanye*

Much as I CANNOT fucking stand him, that was VERY sad. He needs to go stick his toes in the sand somewhere for a couple of weeks and relax.

People should be in control enough of their emotions not to cry on stage like that.

I agree with Metta! I think you should spell his name correctly because it looks like you're making fun of him/the situation when you say "Kaney". My thoughts go out to him & his family.

Re: I HATE KANYE – Kharma is a bitch? So anyone that says that BUsh doesn't like black people deserves to have someone close to them die? FUCK YOU FUCKING PUSSY. IF YOU SAID THAT SHIT TO MY FACE I'D SMASH YOUR HEAD WITH A FUCKING BASEBALL BAT.

I think hating someone because they're racist is fair enough.
It's generally seen as a good thing to not like racist bastards.

I don't really like KANYE that much but I feel really sad for him it brought me to tears when I saw that. He really needs to take time off so he can cope with the loss of his mother. My condolences to the West family.

WHEN SOMETHING THAT BAD OR A DISGRACE OF SUCH MAGNITUDE HAPPENS TO YOU IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO JUST NOT LOOSE IT!!!!!!!! SPECIALLY WHEN YOU TRY TO GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE A FEW DAYS LATER!!!!!
HE OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO GIVE BACK ALL THE SUPPORT HE HAVE RECIEVED FROM HIS FANS BY DOING THE CONCERT AND PROBABLY HE EVEN DONE IT BECAUSE OF HIS MOTHER BUT IT'S NORMAL FOR HIM TO HAVE A BREAK DOWN LIKE THAT……….
NUMERO UNO! says – reply to this

66

I NEVER CARED FOR THIS KANYE PERSON WHAT EVER HIS NAME IS, BUT LOSING YOUR MOTHER IS HORRIBLY SAD…. THIS MAN NEEDS TO TAKE TIME OFF TO HEAL AND BE WITH FAMILY.. FORGET ABOUT TOURING AND MAKING MONEY AT THE MOMENT…… IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE VERY CLOSE. SO SAD

no, THIS is the reality says – reply to this

Re: Reality –
They didn't say it had anything to do with it. Try reading next time.
They just said they hated him because Perez posted about him.
Oh and keep hoping the same thing happens!!!
ONE: it will come true! Everyone's mum dies eventually LMFAO idiot.
TWO: you are not exactly a nice person for wishing death on someones mother just because they hate the person…
Ambz says – reply to this

69

I really can not stand him, but it has got to be hard to lose someone so close to you. I can not believe he still did the concert, I mean I understand he has an obligation to the fans or what ever, but this is a time he needs to heal. Maybe this is his way though. We all heal and deal differently. My heart goes out to him.

Re: I HATE KANYE – YOU CAN SAVE THAT SH*T!

RIP MS. DONDA WEST!
KANYE, BABY..I KNOW THAT IT SEEMED LIKE YOU LOST YOUR BEST FRIEND, BUT BABY, YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG, BECAUSE AS SOON AS PEOPLE SEE YOU AT YOUR WEAKEST POINT, THEY WILL TRY TO MAKE YOU KILL YOURSELF, LIKE THEY WANT BRITNEY SPEARS TO DO, AND BABY JUST PRAY TO GOD, AND HE WILL ANSWER ALL OF YOUR TROUBLES! EVERYTHING HAPPEN FOR A REASON!
IT MIGHT SOUND HARSH, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH!

pony says – reply to this

72

AND HERE WE GO AGAIN. ANOTHER TASTLESS DISPLAY OF YOUR LACK OF SENSE AND TASTE WHEN USING SOMEONE ELSE'S MISFORTUNE TO GET A FEW EXTRA VISITORS. THIS IS NOT CLASS, STYLE OR FUN. THIS IS JUST SHAMELESS. YOU USED TO BE FUNNY PEREZ. GET OUT OF YOUR OWN ASS.

I don't like Kanye and his conceited personality, but I do feel terrible for him- it's obvious how close he was to his mom-and that's such a terrible way to have to die so young. Poor guy.
Judi says – reply to this

1. I think it's a terrible disgrace to the nature of this post to have numerous people concerned only with being first.

2. I was really disappointed with Kanye after the VMAs; however, this video shows he is fallible, human, and warm.

3. It is amazing to listen and see the audience's supportive reaction. Just proves that we are ONE NATION and we do care about our fellow man. My faith in mankind is always restored when I see something so phenomenally moving as this.

4. It is a travesty to see/feel the hate on this board, although the justification of "I loathe Kanye but…" is better than "RIP Dr. West, but I hate your son." To all of those who have said nothing nice I really hope you don't lose a parent. Oh wait. That *will* happen. I really hope no one is as nasty to you as you've been to a virtual stranger.

5. As with the rest of the people I can only offer my deepest condolences and empathy. One day at a time, Kanye. Your mother would be so proud of you.

Even tho i don't really like Kanye (too cocky, arrogant), I DO feel bad for
him losing his Mom…
and for those who say Perez doesn't support talented black people. (someone said that in an earlier post)
What do you call this?
Seems ol' Perezzy has a heart after all.

I feel for him, i would have breakdown if i lost my mother. And to such a trivial thing too. Kanye is a musical genius, and his mom must be a genius too. Love you Kanye, stay strong!

Re: sarinator – same here. it was heartbreaking to watch that. i didnt really like kanye, but no one deserves to go thru this pain no matter how they may come off.
