Rapper Kanye West arrived in Spencer, Oklahoma Tuesday to attend funeral services for his mother, Dr. Donda West.
Singers John Legend and Anita Baker were scheduled to perform during the ceremony held Tuesday morning at True Vine Ministry Church, which can accommodate up to 2500 people. Jay-Z and Beyonce were among the mourners who came to pay respect.
A white hearse carried Dr. West’s body to the church, and a horse-drawn carriage escorted her to the cemetery.
During his concert in Brussels, Kanye played Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believing" in honor of his mother, and told the crowd that she would have wanted him to continue his Glow in the Dark tour through Europe.
"If she was here, she would tell me to get on that stage and kill it, dawg" he told the audience, who responded with wild cheers.
Meanwhile, "Access Hollywood" reported yesterday that West paid for the plastic surgery his mother received from Dr. Jan Adams, which took place one day before her death. But the rapper did not want her to undergo the procedures. He wanted his mom to go to a trainer instead, "Access Hollywood" reported.
Kanye West is set to resume his Glow in the Dark Tour on Thursday night in London.
