Kanye recently sat down with David Letterman for his Netflix series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. During the interview, he opened up about his late mother, Donda, and how he thinks she would've reacted to her grandchildren. Kanye explained, "This 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."

Kanye then shared a cherished memory about his mother, stating, "I remember my mother bought me a bear that was multicolored and I was very into Takashi Murakami at that time, on the third album Graduation. She said it kinda feels like Takashi Murakami and I was, like, 'I don't want that. That ain't no Takashi Murakami bear' and stuff like that."

After Donda's death, Kanye revealed how his view changed, stating, "I 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. But she's here with us and she's guiding us."
