She died suddenly Saturday night in Los Angeles at age 58. Donda West was the inspiration for the song, "Hey Mama," which was on Kanye's 2005 album, "Late Registration." The lyrics include the words: "I appreciate what you allowed for me. I just want you to be proud of me."As much as West expressed appreciation for his mom, his mother often supported her son, especially against critics of his lyrics.
