Kanye West<\/a> opened up about his late mother Donda West in a preview of the rapper\u2019s appearance on David Letterman<\/a>\u2019s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

West\u2019s mother died in 2007 from complications after cosmetic surgery and never got to meet her four grandchildren, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would have been the funnest time of her life to have those kids running around that house, and being able to, like, go and buy them toys\u2026\u201d the rapper told Letterman.<\/p>\n

West also recalled a story about one of the final gifts his mother gave him: a colorful bear. \u201cI remember my mother bought me a bear that was multicolored, and I was very into (Japanese artist) Takashi Murakami at the time (of my) third album, Graduation<\/em>, so she bought it and she said, \u2018That kind of feels like Murakami. And then I was sort of like, \u2018I don\u2019t want that\u2014that ain\u2019t no Takashi Murakami bear.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

But his feelings about the gift quickly changed because she passed just a few weeks later. \u201cI did everything I could to find that bear (and) place that bear on top of all the Takashi Murakami stuff I had in the house,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The rapper also revealed that he felt her spirit with him. \u201cBut she\u2019s here with us, and she\u2019s guiding us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

West\u2019s interview with Letterman is set to premiere on Netflix May 31st, along with My Next Guest Needs No Introduction<\/em> episodes dedicated to Ellen DeGeneres, Tiffany Haddish, racer Lewis Hamilton and more.<\/p>\n
