‘The Pirate’ Releases Statement on Dr. West
Posted by Bossip Staff
Kanye’s good homie, John Legend, released the following statement today on Dr. West. This is not a laughing matter, please don’t bring back the suspect pirate jokes people.
“Dr. West wasn’t just the mother of a superstar. She was an accomplished, successful, beautiful woman in her own right,” Legend’s statement said. “She raised and nurtured a brilliant son with the strength and resilience to follow his dreams and to turn tragedy to triumph. I pray that he continues to stay strong during these trying times.”
Our prayers and best wishes go out to the West fam.

can you atleast whisper them???
lmao @smh! i was all set to comment on how tragic this situation is, then i get here,and im laughing. when they come for my soul, i’m giving them your address
You kind of can’t help but laugh. And not just at I Stay SMH. But can you imagine him saying that in that Pirate outfit. I’d be like, “What now?? Excuse me?? Aaaargh matey???”
Those two idiots above have no sense of respect, some people are just retarded.
My condolences to the West family.
How can the Bossip staff say don’t make any pirate jokes when they are making them???? Hello “The Pirate Releases” Statement on Dr. West and all that ***** at the end. BOSSIP STAFF SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
Bossip knows they have a better pic of John Legend to put up with such a serious comment… shame, shame, shame…
The important matter is Kanye’s mom……..who gives a real ***** about the getup that he’s wearing.
A better picture please. Bossip you know you can spread these pictures out into three days worth of stories like yyou do rihanna. Come on. you could have posted a picture of roses or something. Bossip are yall hiring? Not b/c I need the job but to help you all out!
If you run a series of pirate pics you’re asking for a series of pirate jokes…Won’t make one but thought up a doosie after seeing that pic….Don’t think we should judge Dr. Jan till he’s actually been charged with a crime… we don’t know the facts folks and she was supposedly told to get a check-up with an internist… Don’t think this man should get the OJ treatment
you dumb *****s at bossip know you posted those pics some people would make jokes and the childish folks fell for it. have some damn comp*****ion dumb*****es.
See link below for more shady news about her doc…

Wow, it is beyond comprehension why this site continues to disrespect black folks in life as well as in death. I have to believe that the people who visit this site and run it are either retarded or just plain miserable. There is nothing and I mean nothing that is funny or humorous about someone’s mother dying.
Bossip you all are crazy yall be instigated s***
I was really upset, o, FURIOUS, when I heard a nasty racist comment made on the Adam Carolla (97.1) show this morning regarding Dr. West’s death…
“…that is the downfall with blacks. they are attached at the hip tp their mothers…you know, owrking three jobs and not having fathers…”
i was SO *****ed. i’m like, this woman was the head of a department at a university!
this kind of reckless comments feed sterotypes in the community. i wish bossip would write about THAT!
Yeah you should, That’s ridiculous Bossip!
Have you guys seen Ja rules kid since they have grown, check em’ out here:http://triplerdeezeemadd.blogspot.com/
*****ed the pics from My*****e.
Yeah she is truly talented. I seen her perform No one and she sounded exactly like the radio. God definitely blessed her with a set of pipes.

smh, bossip bossip bossip. come on with the pics. posting silly Halloween pics with serious commentary. you know better than that…i would hope.
ummm SECRET, you said the people that visit this site are either retarded or just plain miserable. ok so which one are you being that you’re on here as well? everybody’s entitled to their opinion. it’s terrible that Dr. West died. maybe bossip shouldn’t have put up the pic of john legend dressed as a pirate, but they did. so you either comment or move on. but don’t feel the need to talk ***** about others. that goes for you too, GYMO.
is jhon legend a but pirate?
No disrespect, but that pirate outfit is straight jokes. Y’all coulda’ used a more conservative pic to attach to his statement.

Taking a Closer Look at the Stories Ignored by the Mainstrean Media
Sad story! And yes Bossip you’re wrong for posting the pic of him in the pirate get up! Actually Tom Joyner was worst than Bossip this morning, when he tried to make light of the situation by saying something stupid like “Kanye will be kicking that doctor’s butt…”!! (Which also included a slight chuckle after saying it!) How idiotic is that??? He should STFU… him and his ugly, transvestite looking ***** wife! With his albino rat looking azz in those bamma azz colored suits. STUPID *****!!!
Yea that picture of John was unnecessary and inappropriate for this particular topic…
um gymo, if you were refering to me…i was “laughing” at the comment before mine. not at the situation. you see i am a person who can walk and chew gum at the same time, therefore i can empathize with the current matter and take notice of the light-hearted things around me.
Bossip is a butch of of *****ing racist clowns and the ***** becomes more evident everyday I come here. When you have the audacity to disrespect the death of someone your ***** definitely don’t have a heart. R.I.P to Dr. West and well wishes to Kanye and his family.
*sigh* Everybody is having a field day on this woman’s death. It’s sick…..
disrespectful bossip, this shouldnt even be discussed this way
this is tragic
i agree with everyone questioning why the bossip staff would put pirate in the title but not want to have pirate jokes. pretty ignorant if you ask me. can’t we just have unbiased and objective and non-hypecritical blogs? whatever happened to those? oh yeah, they are at http://www.concreteloop.com
Yall are so wrong for using those pics with this post. This is just in poor taste.
Hope all is well
get paid 4real
Bossip, ya’ll are a trip. You are the only ones crackin’ “Pirate Jokes” by putting up that photo and caption.
Anywho, my prayers go out to the West family.
I hope kanye is doin’ alright, it must be painful to lose someone who was so close to him.

This was so disrespectful. You know that Kanye reads this blog and you do him dirty like that? Karma is a *****, just remember that.
kanye knows God and he knows that we are praying for him…God is an amazing God..don’t mind the midgets at bossip….keep praying for kanye and don’t get distracted by the radio djs saying racist stuff..and you too BOSSIP YOU NEED TO SIT IN A CORNER AND SUCK YOUR DAMN THUMB AND REALLY THINK IF THIS IS REALLY AN APPROPRIATE TIME FOR JOKES…
Don’t let the devil distract u from praying..just ask and u shall experience God’s wonderful love.
LET GO AND LET GOD…..
I cannot believe the lack of respect for Dr. West. Regardless of how she p*****ed…some one lost thier life and some one has lost their mother and bestfriend. U could have basically showed another picture of John Legend….IS IT THAT IMPORTANT that u show something funnny (well it was funny the first 5 times u showed it.) while u mention Dr. West’s death. Ya’ll need to get it together. Hire people with sense.
Who is that sexy in white?
” Let’s Get Lifted Again “
This is so direspectful.
Those pictures are NOT needed concerning something so serious as death.
Have some respect Bossip.
Bossip, y’all are so full of *****. You put up the pirate costume, cause of course that’s the only pics you have of the boy, then try to bait folks with that “this is serious” comment. You ain’t right. Don’t tell us to show respect, Your trifflin *****es should show some.
I wonder how some of you would feel Bossip Staff if you lost your mother and someone was posting pics and making light of it? You all need to remember that what you put out, will someday surely return. Fate is most unkind to such blatant disrespect. There is nothing you can say in defense of your actions, absolutely nothing.
God Bless Kanye.
ummm scorpio, why didn’t you just keep it moving. I don’t fit in either category. I have too much respect for myself and my people to laugh at bull*****. I don’t find it humorous and I think that people who do are *****ing RETARDED and miserable. Is that clear enongh for you? I have common *****ing sense and a heart and some things in life just aren’t *****ing funny and this is one of them. Now if you have a problem with what I’m saying. So *****ing what keep it *****ing moving and don’t say ***** to me. Kanye West’s mother has died, I don’t know how you feel about your mother but I love the hell out of mine and feel blessed everyday that she is still in my life. I could not image loosing her and if someone decided that it was funny to make jokes about her death I would have a problem with it just like I know Kanye loved the hell out of his mother, I don’t think he would find any humor in this bull***** Bossip is writing. And that you don’t have a problem with it speaks volumes about what kind of person you are.
bossip u know u wrong!!!!
You blacks krak me up. yall acting like malcom luthor x just died or somthing. She was just some old chic who died by *****y reduction, what exacly did she do other than give birth to a full of himself rapper who calls himself kanopener or somethin. Aint like she was a ikon like anna nicol smith, now shes worth crying over.
Come on Bossip. Anything *****ociated with someone dying is not funny. This is not funny. You can and should do better.
A very disrespectful picture. Unnecessary!!!!! and RUDE!!!!!
However this joke was hilarious. But told at the wrong time in reference to Kanye’s mom. God bless the boy. I can only imagine his hurt.
is jhon legend a but pirate? LOL! So funny but the wrong time to say it you know?
I concur with the people who are calling BOSSIP on their hypocrisy. If you do not want people to make pirate jokes about John Legend, then CHANGE THE PICTURE AND THE TITLE! It’s that simple, Bossip. Thank you.
Come on bossip. Seriously?!
Bossip is so damn stupid! How can you say “its no joking matter”, but put up a stupid ***** picture like that!! Yall are so damn stupid!

I think Bossip was being funny..come on the contradictions of his halloween costume and this very well stated statment on Dr. West?..come on people have a sense of humor..lol..and yes it was sad that Donda West p*****ed away due to a unecessary surgical procedure…RIP Donda West..you will be missed by all the people that have loved and honored you;)
This is sad and condolences but John legend looks like a Black Bill Maher.
secret…. all that to say what? at the end of the day you said people who visit this site are either retarded or miserable. you’re on here, so again which one are you?
p.s
i love my mother more than life itself and if she died, i wouldn’t be on a blog to see what other people who mean nothing to me, have to say. but that’s just me.

lik-wid
hell yeah! rainbow brite is my girl!!!!
and scorpio- i co-sign your statement!
Bossip Staff,
What is with the mixed messages here? You post pictures of John Legend in pirate gear, and then say this is a serious post about Donda West. You mean to tell me that there were no appropriate photos of John in your vast archives? Puh-leeze! Who you think you’re foolin’? Shame on you for making a mockery of Ms. West’s demise.
thank you, leave it be. anybody who loves rainbow brite is a friend of mine!
Why are you letting this fool talk- no one cares what John Legend has to say- He looks like a Pervert even though he is talented
Maan, this has got to be one of the most childish websites in the nation…it’s really sad that at a moment when someone mother p*****es away ya’ll gon’ find the craziest picture of John Legend and then add “THE PIRATE” on the headline and then try and make us read something serious. Man, that is incredibly childish. C’mon people, grow up and realize Bossip, it’s a time to make jokes and be funny and it’s a time to be serious.
while everybody is talking about disrespect, i think people ARE being respectful! anna nicole smith REALLY got disrespected when she died! but in all honesty bossip KNOWS what they doing and you guys are eating right out of their hands! we been sending condolences for days now! they know exactly what to post to get people worked up!
also- to the people who think bossip is “racist” and childish and immature, wh do you keep coming back? i think CELE*****Y is racist with how they delete “racist” post about jews, but dont care when people post racist thingsa bout blacks. so i dont go there any more! why do you keep coming??
dana, i’m with you!
SMH at makeme***** with the nastiest name on this board rattling on and on about god.
ROFL at folks actually getting offended at Bossip’s post and the good humored comments that followed. Lighten up already! Geez Louise . . .
all ya’ll above shut the hell up!!! these people are being disrespectful and you know it, quit tryna take up for these stupid *****s!!!! Bossip.com won’t last as long as you all think!!!
Dana – are you back on your f*cking soap box defending this bullsh*t? They knew exactly what they were doing and posted the picture knowing good damn well no one would be able to erase the fact that John looks like a damned idiot in the picture! Bossip writers are LOSERS and so are you for defending their ignorance!
