EXCLUSIVE: Kanye's Mother Killed By A TUMMY TUCK!!!! - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


EXCLUSIVE: KANYE'S MOTHER KILLED BY A TUMMY TUCK!!!!
 







November 11, 2007. Earlier today, we sadly reported that Kanye West's mother, Dr. Donda West passed away. Since then, the mainstream media has been speculating as to what could have caused her untimely passing. Well MediaTakeOut.com managed to get an EXCLUSIVE interview with one of Donda's family members. And according to that person, Kanye's mother died of complications that arose while getting a tummy tuck and breast implants.

The family member, who was distraught by the incident, told MediaTakeOut.com, "It really was a tragedy. [Donda] went in to have the procedures, and she never made it out." The insider continues, "I'm not sure if it was the anesthesia or what, but she never made it out of the operating room alive."

It's not clear, however, that the physicians or the hospital involved in the procedures are at fault. Nor is it clear that Donda's passing was a direct result of anything done during the surgery.

We at MediaTakeOut.com wish to offer our prayers and condolences to Kanye and his entire family...

    Even sadder are te fools posting first and disrespecting this womans life and death as well as MTO patting itslef on the back for being first themselves at posting "the truth" That was disgusting and classless as you report the womans death you brag about being the first media outlet to report this? Disgusting!

    finally MTO is right about something so before anyone start talking down on MTO check yo self because this story is true kanye mother did pass away

    black people learn love yourself and do things natural. She was trying to get a breast implant and tummy tuck which is sad. Excercize and eat right and you wouldn't have to go through all that. Western cosmetic surgery isn't for us. I know a few black women that died trying to get the gastric bypass surgery. This is really sad my condolences go out to kanye and his family.

    my prayers go out to the west family but mto better not be lying because death is not to be played with. she was always involved with her son's career, and i know he is going to miss her dearly. sometimes stuff like this happens to people when they are at the height of their career which is unfortunate, but at least she saw her baby make it

    Oh damn!!! I feel so bad for the West family. Poor Kanye :-( he always talked about his mother and how she gave him strength and instilled the fighter spirit in him. So very very sad, poor baby

    So sad..It would seem very risky at her age. They had a very close relationship. My prayers and condolences go out to Kanye.

    She believed in her son's music so much that she killed herself. He speaks about more than just social issues in his music, but of superficial things as well such as throwing D's on her. Its unfortunate that this happened to his mother. Black men everywhere and men period need to learn how to love women for who they are and stop trying to visually make them into something.

    Like I said in the other post, my hearts and prayers goes to his family and I hope this is a wake up call to everyone in the entertainment industry.

    This is exactly why I will never get unnecessary surgery. I know someone who died from getting gastric bypass surgery. Surgery is a serious thing whether it is plastic surgery or a heart transplant. The only reason I will allow myself to be on an operating table is to save my life. This is really sad.

    For years I thought the tummy tuck surgery is what killed James Brown's former wife too. However, it was recently revealed that illegal drugs she had in her body were the primary cause of her death during the tummy tuck.

    We're told to get board certified doctors and most intelligent people undergoing surgery do this. If this story about Kanye's mother is true, I'm quite sure she did her research on plastic surgeon because she was a very educated woman. However, major surgery is dangerous for anyone, whether it's needed or cosmetic.

    It's sad that a person goes into a hospital and doesn't come out for something seen so routine. Ugh, if this is true, what a tragedy and loss of life.

    Shame on you worthless mother fukkers for using this man's mothers' death as a way to try to make yourself look like you have some fukkin credibility!

If you have the opprotunity to say anything that people from everywhere will sign on and read why would you say 1st. I hope this story is not true about Ms West attempting to have surgery, it oncce again show the extrems we as a society will go through in order to look good in the public's eyes. Sad so sad

    Losing a loved one especially a mother or father is tramatic and devastating. I can't believe all we can think about is the reason y she died. The reason that she is not here is not important. The fact that she is gone away from her child and those that loved her is sad. The family member that went to the press should be shame and they need their a** kicked. Since when was someone's life a joke and something to be made fun of. That was a,strong influential black women in a world where Superhead is acknowledged as being "Today's Black Women". Tell me is something wrong with that picture? I will keep Kanye and his family in my prayers for there loss.

    SexyKimmie
    I think her son sucks his comments on women are disgusting! But, I feel sad for his mom. She just wanted to feel young again, I guess. Damn, I wonder what women think when they hear they have a chance to die and they go ahead and get these massive surgeries anyway to repair their breast, and tummy's? I mean if you are told their is chance you will die why, even bother getting a damn tummy tuck anyway? Is it really that serious? I mean all doctors have to tell you that their's a chance you could die and what those chances are! Star Jones almost died not to long ago same situation! Dang black women do you have to follow these white girls into this crazy plastic world?
     

    peewee
    Oh my God I feel s[SPAM]ooooo sorry for Kanye he truly loved his mother. He dedicated a song to her and she was always with him. Atleast she knew he made it and how much he appreciated her. This is truly sad because he was an only child and I can see if she was sick and she died then he probably could have prepared himself but she went in for plastic surgery and he thought he was going to see her again. My prayers go out to Kanye and his family.
     

    justfinethanks
    Kanye, keep going boo! You've done some wonderful things for the community and I know your mom supported you in your efforts and help you achieve much success!!! I hope she rests in peace with Jesus by her side forever more! It's so much easier to feel other people's pain when something like this happens to you! May God be the judge

    I saw Kanye's mother on a TV show and she was unlike most other rappers mothers I've seen. She was intelligent, articulate and spoke about raising the son she loved dearly. She didn't tolerate any foolishness and helped him follow his dreams. I'm quite sure this will be a very difficult time for him.

    I just saw a show he did where he said he is different than most rappers because he was raised middle class so no one could try and pigeon hole him as most rappers are from the street and he has a lot more to say than just the hardships they always speak about. Everybody has a story but when does that story become a happy one? Kanye seemed to have a happy one.
     

    focus
    Will Smith was raised the same way as Kanye was, by an educated mother. I remember Will use to be called all kinds of names by jealous imbeciles from the rap community (mickey mouse rap). However, when Will used bad grammar he said his mother slapped him up side his head--unlike many other street rappers who constantly have the disrespect for women and can't put two words together for an interview. I hate to read rap interviews often given in one black magazine. They cuss so much because they have very limited vocabularies.
    If rap music is going to stay around, let's bring out some more of the better raised kids.

    I hope this part of the story is not true. Us as Women should be proud of the way we are made and the way we (through over eating, etc.)made our bodies to look. And you Men need to STOP judging us on standards that are NOT worth dying over but women are killing themselves literally to please the same person that is NOT going to appreciate your efforts. Learn to love YOU and find a peron that loves you more. Most of the time it is the WOMEN who put eachother down. We are beautifully made. It doesnt matter about your physical appearance. Tragically at the end of the day, it just doesnt. Time to wake up people. As for Kanye, I WEEP FOR YOU. I lost my mom earlier this year and I deal with it daily. Jesus is walking with you. Matter of fact He is carrying you. Believe that.

    My condolences to Kanye and his family.

    If this is true it's just another reminder that surgery, any surgery, even for cosmetic purposes, is serious business.

    I can't imagine losing my mother, but to lose her around an elective cosmetic procedure would probably push me over the edge.
     

    Hot_Coco_Luv
    First off, the headline MTO used for this story is tasteless.

    Second off, I can't believe that on a sad story such as this, that dummies would be sitting with baited breath at the first opportunity to post 1st, 2nd, and all that bullschitt! That is so damn childish and disrespectful!

    Whether ya'll like Kanye or not, he just lost his mother! Show some damn respect! My heart goes out to him and his family.

    ....................................

    I agree with you 1005 on this one.
    MTO could atleast have the same respectful taste as other blogging sites and put it as "COSMETICS SURGERY"

    But I guess that´s asking too much from this site. It´s not in their class level yet.

    This is the first comment I've ever posted. I always want to say something but then I don't because I don't always agree with the way MTO gets down at times and of course I don't always agree with all the comments. People have different points of view so that may never happen. I had to speak on this. I think it is hella [EXPLETIVE] up how they reported Kanye and his family's lost. MTO we are not talking about anybody's lipstick or bad hair. His mom died. That has to be the biggest lost in the world aside from someone's father for those lucky enough to have a good one. Kanye and his family asked for their privacy be respected at this time because not all of their family has been notified and they wanted the bad news to come from them. Was that so hard to respect??? How would you like to find out about someone you love so much died this way? The way you posted the story made it even worst! Like this is some joke or something. The is by far the worst part about living, losing your parents or family. "You read it first on MTO". Who gives a [EXPLETIVE]? Send this man your prayers not a slap in the face. You didn't have to go into details. Who cares who knew first? This man just lost him mom, the closest person to him and this is the respect you show? I know MTO can get dirty, but did you have to stoop that low to achieve it??? My prayers and blessings to Kanye and his family.

    Totally disrespectful MTO! Dr. West was a mother and her child (regardless of how you feel about him) should be allowed to grieve her without having to deal with this headline. Even if you broke the news, why did you have to title it as you did?! Consider how much power/influence you possess. Please change the title to something more tasteful such as "Exclusive: Kanye West's Mom Died from Plastic Surgery Complications" or something like that. It's still wrong but the lessor of two evils (so to speak). Thanks for your consideration.

    MTO, I ain't mad at ya. I like being informed as possible. If you got the exclusive than kudo's to you.

    Thanks for letting a sista know.

    This is so sad. I just heard her interview a few weeks ago about the book she wrote about her son.
    My prayers and condolences go out to the family.

    "Black men everywhere and men period need to learn how to love women for who they are and stop trying to visually make them into something"

    That was not a very smart statement. Men dont hold a gun to women's head or force them to push away from the buffet. Last i checked you have the freedom to do as u wish. Beauty is still in the eye of the beholder and if that is what she chooses, then so be it. in my opinion, strictly my opionion black women and men need to wake up and pay attention to their health,. though some factors are hereditary, you still are what you eat and most of us know we dont eat well. but to blame cosmetic surgery choices on the male species is absurd as blaming crime on hip hop....

    Learn the lesson black women, be happy with what ya mamma ga' ya. Stop trying to get the barbie doll figure. Barbie weren't black. Be happy with yo big ol' bootay, thick ol' thighs, and nappy ol' head, stop wit' yo weaves and wigs. Brown eyes are pretty, no need for blue contacts. Poor miss west. Bet she wished she had invested in a personal trainer instead of the knife.

    First of all was this a boot-legg doctor or Doctor 90210? There are risk associate with a woman having plastic surgery and breast implants at her age. I can see her having her teeth done but major surgery is a bit much because she is a older woman.

    Real doctors sit down with the patient and discuss the risk factors with having that done to your body. The administer the right medicine in the body because of her weight and age and their are nurses and doctors that monitor her regularly to see if she is in any danger....It seem that was not the case with Ms. West sad to say........

    Kanye family are in my prayers.......

    @mabeline You aint lying w/the silly 1st, 2nd 3rd JUNK!

    This is truly sad...Especially telling how she lost her life...MTO, It would've been nice if you also shared her SUCCESS..I'll post it since MTO is COLD at times..

    Although widely known as the mother of Kanye, Dr. West was a noted scholar and an active college professor for 31 years; she left the profession in 2004 to assist with Kanye's career, according to her biography on the Web site of the Kanye West Foundation, an educational nonprofit of which she was chair. She was also chief executive of West Brands, the parent company of her son's businesses.

    She began her teaching career in the early 1970s at Brown College in Atlanta and began working at Chicago State University in 1980, according to the site; she was also a Fulbright Scholar, among other awards. Dr. West raised Kanye in the Chicago area along with her husband, from whom she separated when Kanye was 3.

    My thoughts and prayers are w/the family...Kayne, Their is no HURT that GOD can't heal if you let him...

    MTO, I see you revised the wording from earlier. You must have realized how insensitive it sounded. At least you realized it and changed it. I can respect that.

    Dont think I believe this. She looked fine and great for her age. She was also an educated woman who had a great mind.

    Regardless, I know this is a had time for him. I hope he can remain strong and I hope the media respects him and his loss.

    keep praying kanye you believe in Jesus so stay deep in your Bible through this trying time and youw ill make it. if this is confirmed they need to let us know who the doctor is so people will know to stay away. i know someone who had surgery and it was scary for them and it didnt last long she gained back the weight they sucked out.
     

    msrbsinger
    Can't believe this stupid website still has Kanye's mom's death as a "distasteful" headline! "Kanye's mom killed by Tummy Tuck" So lackadaisical, like its a [EXPLETIVE] joke. This man just lost his [EXPLETIVE] mother, he was the only child, his father left him when he was three you stupid [EXPLETIVE]. I'm soo pissed rite now, and if their are others who read my post and feel the same I call on a boycott from this website and starting an PETITION ONLINE to boycott the disrespectful way they treated this black single parent who was a doctor in such a disrespectful,distasteful way. I'ma start the petition myself. From now on, MEDIATAKEOUT, IS GETTING NOTHING BUT THUMBS DOWN FROM ME. YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO TAKE DOWN THAT FUCKKING HEADLINER.
     

    msrbsinger
    They may have changed the wording inside, but they still have that fuckking distasteful banner. This man stood up for us on live national tv and said what alot of blacks were feeling during Katrina, he felt new orleans pain and gave them a fucckkin voice and just look how his own people repay him when his OWN mother dies. Ye' I have your back, please don't let this tragedy extinguish your creative genius you have inside of you.....

    That is a sad way to lose your mama. You dont think that type of surgery will kill you. WHEN YOU WHERE ABOUT SOMEONE DYING ON THE OPERATING TABLE YOU THINK OF A MAJOR SURGERY LIKE BY-PASS

    Sexy Kimmie I think its morbit and disrespectful of you the share your views about this man at time like this...How you feel about his music shouldnt matter at this point? And if you dont like his lyrics if you think they suck maybe they apply to you...I aint saying they do but when people start bashing a man for saying what others are thinking its either cause they mad cause they didnt say it first or because they take direct offense to it...You can leave your comments to yourself about this man's freedom of speech and respect the fact that his mother just died and 121269 Sweetie how were we or anybody else supposed to know that your uncle passed yesterday think its disrespectful that you would take that route because either way this man's momma is dead and how would you feel if people reacted to your loved ones passing...If heaven is your goal you need to show more compassion treat others the way you want to be treated...

    Rest In Peace Donda West and 121269's Uncle

    And to those who post 1st & and arguing back & forth about foolishness, you all are idiots & azzholes. There is a time and place for everything. This is not the time or post to do so. Pick another post to rant. If you lost someone dear to you, would you want foolishness to be apart of it, NO! Grow the FU_K UP! Please those with some common sense, please ignore those that obviously don't have any, and check they azz in another post, this is not the post to do so! God Bless the West Family in this time of need. You only get one mother.

    For all who are upset at the way this low life website has disrespected the death of Doctor Donda West's life I ask you to please go and sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/petition-sign.cgi?121688mm

    It is a petition against MTO for their lack of respect and privacy for the life of Dr. Donda West. Let others know as well. We asked them to change the Headliner so that it isn't seen as a joke, they only changed the inside simply to get ratings and for shock value.

    Peace and Blessings

    It's sad that she died. R.I.P and I hope Kanye as a person, not a superstar can get a blessing out of this trajic event. But yet at the same time, people die everyday, because she's the mom of a 'star', it's big news. Not trying to sound disrespectful, it's just stuff likt this happen everyday to anyone so it's not suprising.
