West's mother, Donda, is featured heavily in the first episode of "Jeen-Yuhs." Several people in the documentary refer to her as "everybody's mother," and she is often seen supporting her son throughout his journey to establish himself as a rapper. Her relationship with West is gentle and loving, and she is shown to be a constant in his life. Donda tragically died in 2007 of a heart attack following complications arising from cosmetic surgery.
