Kanye's Reps Release Statement + Update On His Mother's Death
Kanye's reps are said to have released the following statement last night...
"Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.
After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country.
The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what's behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West's name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute."

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams (pictured above -- RichBoi88) has told TMZ that he was the doctor who performed cosmetic surgery on Kanye West's mother Donda before she died.
Dr. Adams told TMZ her death, which followed a tummy tuck and breast reduction, was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.
Dr. Adams tells us West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes greenlighting the surgery and sometimes halting it.
As for the TMZ report that Beverly Hills doctor Andre Aboolian refused to conduct the surgery because of a medical condition that West had, Dr. Adams said of Dr. Aboolian, "He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance."
Dr. Adams says he did nothing wrong.

It turns out that Dr. Adams has quite a number of DUIs under his belt and almost had his license revoked by the Medical Board last April.
TMZ has also revealed that Donda West's surgery lasted eight hours (twice as long as it should've) and that she was sent home when it was done (!!!!) as opposed to a recovery center.
PS: Dr. Adams is not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
