Kanye West was very close to his single mother who raised him with confidence and here are wise quotes by her to celebrate her birthday.

5 Top Donda West Moments From Kanye West’s &#8216;Jeen-Yuhs&#8217;, to Celebrate the Iconic Rapper’s Mother

If there is one person that Kanye West
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west/] has sworn by, it is his mother,
Donda West. A fan or not, the world has seen the impact that his mother had on
the rapper’s life, even after her death. Being an obedient and loving son, Ye
also made sure to reciprocate his love for her by keeping her memory alive
through his work.

Today, fans know the name Donda through the rapper’s Donda Academy and his
famous albums ‘Donda 1’ and ‘Donda 2’. It has been years since she passed away,
but Ye’s confidence is proof of how powerful her words could be. On her
birthday, here is a look at a few quotes by the late Donda West.


THE TOP QUOTES BY YE’S MOTHER DONDA WEST

Kanye West has always been his mother’s son, and he is proud of it. She was born
on 12th July 1947 and passed away on 10th November 2007. The Jeen-Yuhs
documentary by Netflix also showed footage and words remembering her. “The main
thing is, you gotta do something that you really love to do,” Donda West once
said when it came to finding success in work. She believed that if one would
keep doing something they are passionate about, there is no way they will not
succeed.



“I began teaching him to love himself,” another quote by Donda West read. The
single mother would make Ye posters of things similar to him, to increase his
self-love, and not to depend on the media for it. That is also perhaps why Ye
keeps away from the paparazzi now. Just like West, his mother stressed the
importance of showing love to children in more than materialistic ways, “I made
sure that Kanye always knew he was loved — not just doted on and indulged, but
loved.”

When it came to presenting oneself, she said, “You gotta have some ‘oomph’ about
you.” This thought clearly shows in Ye’s powerful performances. As his mother,
Donda West was aware of the rapper being impulsive and hurting people. But she
believed that it came out along with his talents, and therefore she applauded
it. She felt that,”Whatever mistakes he makes, I am certain that he learns from
them.”

Ye does not have his mother by his side, but his new wife has helped him change
for the better. Her achievements are imbibed by his artistic side as well.


A LOOK BACK INTO THE INSPIRING LIFE OF KANYE WEST’S MOTHER

Donda West was an English professor, and the impact of her education could be
seen in Ye’s vocabulary and speech. Her father was a civil rights activist, and
she believed in teaching literature based on the works of African Americans.



Following Ye’s success, the teacher began enjoying life and would keep up with
her appearances. Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery proved fateful, and she passed
away suddenly, something Ye blames Hollywood for.

She could not see him get married or meet her grandchildren. Today Ye is back in
the limelight, and her words continue to stay with him.
