🧨**”I Still Hear Her Voice in My Head!” — Kanye West’s Raw Confession Sparks Frenzy: Is His Mental Breakdown Truly Rooted in His Mother Donda’s Sudden Death?”**🧨

THE man who helped raise Kanye West says the rap star’s recent meltdown happened because he’s still grieving his beloved mother.

Ulysses Blakeley lived with Kanye and mum Donda throughout his childhood – before she died from a botched cosmetic surgery operation in November 2007.

Kanye West's breakdown is because of his 'unresolved grief' over mother Donda's sudden death, says his former 'stepdad'

He said he was “distressed” to see the bipolar rapper tweeting about divorcing his wife Kim Kardashian and labelling her a white supremacist, over the last few days.

The 69-year-old, who still lives in Kanye’s home city of Chicago, says: “I saw Kanye from the beginning and really have nothing but love and positive feelings for him.

“I’m distressed to see him in distress.

“I actually haven’t seen any of the clips or excerpts, but heard about his breakdown. It seems to be a sort of profound, unresolved grief. He feels some isolation.

“If his mother was around, which of the other things in his life wouldn’t have happened, or would have happened differently?

“(He’s missing the) large family framework, which sustains you when you have a tragedy like your mother suddenly dying.”

Blakeley had a special relationship with the superstar, as Donda revealed in her 2007 biography ‘Raising Kanye’, published just before she died.

He was the first she dated after divorcing West’s father Ray, who moved to Maryland and would only see his son in the summers.

Donda wrote: “I thought he was going to be my last love. He and I had a great relationship. Kanye liked him a lot. He would take Kanye to the park for hours near his apartment building.”

It was Blakeley who bought Donda and her son their first home on South Shore Drive in Chicago, which was recently purchased back by Kanye.

Blakeley owned the property until Kanye was eight-years-old, according to the deed.

He was around Kanye for his formative years and was still good friends with him and his mother until Kanye left for New York after signing a deal with Roc-a-Fella Records at the age of 18.
