Emotional Kanye -- My Mom Was My First Fan

Posted Nov 20th 2007 10:40AM by TMZ Staff

Kanye has been tight-lipped on the death of his mother, but on Sunday night at a concert in Belgium, he talked to the audience about his feelings on continuing to perform, the media and what people have been advising him to do since the tragedy.

After West finished talking, he paid an amazing musical tribute to his mom. You gotta watch.

46. I feel his pain just loosing my mother in a tragic way - being far away, having to go collect your mothers body to bring her home for services - its a very sad hard thing to do and deal with. And only if you are put in a situation like that, you will never understand. I cant help but cry everytime I see his tributes.. My heart goes out to him.. I feel his pain..

51. Noted point De. Still, we don't know what's going on in Kanye's mind right now so unless we've gone through that ourselves, we shouldn't judge. Besides, people react to grief differently.

I don't like Kanye West, but I'll cut him some slack on this one. Besides, I am sure he had this tour set well in advance. To break it off at this point would probably land him in legal trouble. I know that sounds cold blooded but some promoters can be insensative jerks when it comes to that thing.
