In 2007, Dr. Donda West, the mother of Kanye, died at home a day after getting a fairly routine plastic surgery. The coroner's report said that post-operative factors contributed to her death. Dr. Jan Adams, the doctor who performed the surgery on West, was sued for malpractice. Soon after, Adams spent a year in prison after a couple of drunk-driving incidents, and he gave up his medical license.

This past weekend, Kanye West, in the middle of what might be considered a Twitter breakdown, shared a screenshot of a text conversation with someone identified only as W. In that conversation, West sent W a photo of Adams, identifying Adams and saying that he wanted to use the photo as the cover of his new album. West also wrote, "I want to forgive and stop hating." When he asked for potential album titles, W responded, "LOVE EVERYONE."
