Video: Kanye West Breaks Down On Stage

Kanye West performed his first show since his mother Donda West’s passing last night at the Le Zenith venue in Paris. He broke down as the song “Hey Mama” started playing and a back-up singer, the DJ, and a guitar player came over to console him.

He reportedly said, “This song is for my mother,” and did not finish the sentence. The rapper then left the stage and returned 10-15 minutes later and finished up the concert with “Stronger.”

We can’t imagine what Kanye must be going through. We give him credit for going out and performing so soon after his mother’s death. Stay strong ‘Ye.

    Unfortunately that’s how life goes, you’re here today and gone tomorrow. May God bless him and help him go through this, Lord knows how hard it must be for him cause his mama was his world. It’s really sad to watch, but I’m sure that wherever she is Donda West is proud of her son.
