Kanye West and his mother Donda were extremely close. Overall, Donda was a huge influence on Kanye and his rise to fame. He used to mention her all the time in interviews, and she was a large part of the Jeen-Yuhs documentary. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2007, and it was a devastating time in Ye's life. To this day, he is still feeling the effects of her passing. However, he has been able to honor her in many ways. For instance, he named his album Donda after her, and he has also created institutions in her name.
When someone is such a massive part of your life, sometimes, you will see that person manifest in others. As Ye was telling Big Boy in his most recent interview, he sees a lot of his mom in North West. In the clip below, he says "Sometimes i feel like my mom speaks through her." Ye made this revelation when he was showing North his song "Back To Me." North told Ye that the song was a "banger" and that at the end of the day, he needs to say how he feels. In Ye's mind, that is the exact same advice that his mom would have given him.
