Kanye West has admitted that he's been dealing with suicidal thoughts since the death of his mother, Donda West, in 2007. In the midst of an endless barrage of offensive and controversial posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, West spoke about the impact the loss has had on him. She died of coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors from cosmetic surgery at the age of 58 in 2007.
"I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING MYSELF AT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH EVER SINCE MY MAMA WAS KILLED IN HER SURGERY I ALWAYS BLAMED MYSELF," West revealed in a series of posts. "I FELT LIKE IT A NEVER 'MADE IT' MY MOM WOULD STILL BE ALIVE. PEOPLE ASK IF IM OK. THIS PAST FIVE WEEKS HAVE
BEEN THE FIRST TIME I HAVEN’T WANTED TO KILL MYSELF SINCE MY MAMA DIED."
