According to TMZ, Kanye stopped everything to go support his father when he got the news. Ray West is currently responding to treatment in Los Angeles.
The diagnosis comes a little over 10 years after the death of Kanye’s mother, Donda, whom he was very close. Reports also say his mother’s death helped trigger his mental breakdown in 2016.
Though his parents divorced in 1980 but remained cordial over the years.
Ray West was a photojournalist in the 1970’s and 80’s and Kanye has credited him for inspiring his creativity in music and fashion.
