Kanye Westfans know that he had a very strong relationship with his mother, Donda West.
He even named an album after her (viaRolling Stone).
Sadly, Donda died in 2007 of complications from cosmetic surgery, perCheat Sheet.
Donda divorced Kanye’s father, Ray West, when the rapper was just 3 years old.
In 2019, Kanyetweetedabout a moving moment he shared with his father during one of their visits together.
“He talked about his love for fishing, and how he could come here in the summers.
It took me 42 years to realize that my dad was my best friend,” Kanye continued.
“He asked me, ‘How many acres is this?’
I told him 4,000.
He replied with these three words: ‘A Black man?'”
Ray is dedicated to his Good Water Foundation, according to his former wife, Brenda Bentley.
“It also is dangerous in the DR because of high crime.
There’s not a lot of police activity.
Most people at Ray’s age would put their feet up but he’s still got his vision.
I’ve been there to see his work.
He’s doing good,” she continued.
“He’s financing the work himself,’ Bentley added.
“He sells purified water and uses the profits to fund projects like healthcare for women.”
