Kanye West releases new single Donda featuring late mother’s voice and shares sweet never-before-seen home videos
KANYE West released his new single Donda featuring his late mother’s voice as she read the prologue to his song.
The father of four also shared sweet never-before-seen home videos of him and his mom singing together.
Ye wrote on Twitter: "In loving memory of my incredible mother on her birthday.
"My mom reciting KRS1 lyrics This song is called DONDA."
However, she sold the Chicago property in 2004 when she moved to to be Kanye's manager.
According to , sources close to West said he is in the midst of a manic episode caused by bipolar disorder – a condition which the musician has spoken openly about in the past.
The report says the father-of-four usually has a serious bout “once a year,” and claims this is what has prompted his unconventional statements in the past week.
His recent behavior has left his family “worried” but they remain confident his condition will stabilize as it has in the past, the report claims.
Last year, the rapper told David Letterman about his diagnosis and the paranoia he feels during a serious episode.
She told Vogue: “I think we’re in a pretty good place with it now.
“It is an emotional process, for sure. Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them.
“For him, being on medication is not really an option, because it just changes who he is.
"Traveling a lot does set it off, so he doesn’t travel as much as he used to."
