Drake shows support for Kanye West’s late mom Donda: What we know<\/p>\n

Kanye West and Drake, though, had a long-running feud, but it appears both have put the beef behind them.<\/p>\n

This comes after Drizzy liked a post showing the unveiling of an honourary street road in Chicago named after his mother, Donda West.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Flashing Light hitmaker attended the ceremony, where his late mom was honoured.<\/p>\n

His mom has a rich history in the city’s academic and literary community.<\/p>\n

According to Alderman Greg Mitchell (7th), “Dr Donda West was not only a scholar \u2014 she was a builder of people, a cultivator of talent, and a champion for Black creativity and intellectual excellence.”<\/p>\n

“For nearly three decades at Chicago State University, Dr. West shaped minds and opened doors.”<\/p>\n

He further added that West “created a home where young writers, speakers, and artists could discover their voice in their power.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Garrard McClendon, a professor at Chicago State, also praised her.<\/p>\n

“As chair of the Department of English at Chicago State, she played a pivotal role in shaping the academic landscape of the institution.”<\/p>\n

“At Chi State, Donda’s contributions were transformative,” McClendon added.<\/p>\n

“Her tireless efforts in establishing the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Literature and Creative Writing stand as a testament and legacy to her unwavering dedication to celebrating African American voices and nourishing emerging literary talent,” he said.<\/p>\n
