Hip-Hop star Kanye West broke down in tears in Paris last night (November 17) during his first performance since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.
Reports surfaced earlier this week that West needed several extra days to gather strength after hearing about the tragic, sudden loss of his mother, who died of complications from plastic surgery.
West’s emotions boiled over last night during a performance at Le Zenith in Paris, according to reports.
West, who canceled a high profile performance and appearance during Victoria Secret’s annual fashion show, gave a full performance to a packed house.
He reportedly attempted to finish his set by performing "Hey Mama" in honor of his mother, but the rapper broke down in tears before he could finish the song.
Members of his band came to console West, but he continued to cry in the spotlight before leaving the stage.
The rapper eventually regained his composure and performed his hit single "Stronger," to an applauding crowd.
In related news, West will be in Oklahoma City on Tuesday for funeral services for Dr. Donda West, who graduated from Douglass High School in 1967, has immediate family in the area, including her mother and father.
The funeral will take place at the Howard-Harris Funeral Home. Dr. Donda West died on November after receiving a tummy tuck and liposuction from celebrity plastic surgeon, Dr. Jan. Adams.
A coroner has ruled that Dr. West most likely died of complications from the plastic surgery, but an official cause of death will not be known for at least 1 ½ months.

this shit gave me chills. its some real deep stuff. i know how it feels to loose somebody.

That was really deep. I was there. A beat starts and some angels pictures appears behind him on the creen. Then we all understood that it was "Hey Mama". The crowd start clapping hands and put lighter up to show support. And yes, he breaks down after few seconds... and he couldn't even start the song.
We all keep clapping hands to show love during the song. Then, a girl starts singing a gopsel song. That was an amazing moment.

on the one hand it was real emotional to see, but on the other hand does it look like pretty good promotion..

people underestimate the things a person would do to get their name in the news.
-
feel sorry for Kanye... RIP to his Moms

Do you really think he needs promotion like this? He's simply yet the best raper and producer in the game.
It was a real deep moment and just emotions...
-
^lol@ best rapper&producer!
More promotion is always usefull; keep in mind he just got a new album out..

Are you crazy? Who think that he is using the dead of his mother for promotion is really fucked up
-
I don't know if it was me i would've dipped of from the stage for a little bit. but to break down and start crying in front of everybody too much, people not trying to see that.

-
WOW at ANYBODY saying he usin his MOM death for promotion
sometimes artists take it far, but that shit is reachin y'all!!
the man just lost his momma
a) unexpectedly
b) at a very young age
this shit is no act...
-
gotta feel sorry for kanye.
-
first of all RIP to his mom. i hope he gets through this, becomes a stronger man, and he stops being such a whiney lil bitch when he doesn't win an award.
but with that said i really doubt kanye is doing all this to sell his album or himself. most people who care about someone would have/will do this, it's simple psychology. it's been happening since BEFORE jesus, this is no exception IMO.
-
I feel bad for this guy and all but I knew he was gonna do somethin like this...
with him you can see this shit from a mile away

I'm not saying he's using the death of his mother for promotion, but it was expectable Kanye would be pulling of a stunt like this. Remember how much of an attention whore he is. He could've walked of stage, which would be the normal thing to do. Instead he stood there crying in front of the whole crowd (world).
