Ye, formerly Kanye West, may not be the stereotypical superstar that fans see every day. But there are days when he makes controversies take a backseat, and today is one such day. On Mother’s Day, the ‘Donda’ rapper recently sent X into a meltdown with his heartfelt tribute to his late mother, Donda West, reminiscing about the good times. Although Ye’s tweets are akin to nature’s call for chaos, his Mother’s Day homage had fans shedding a tear and more following the unexpected release of ‘Donda 2.’ 

The Atlanta native recently took to X to share a throwback picture in his mother, Donda West’s, arms as the snap showed the world a little Ye looking straight in her eyes. “HEY MAMA. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OVER ME MY WIFE KIDS SOLDIERS AND COMMUNITY,” he wrote. While the picture was enough to make fans cry a river, they could not help but gush about how “wholesome” Ye made the day with his tribute to Donda West.
