In Kanye’s tweet, he explained that the decision to use Adams’ photo as his album cover is his way to move on from the emotional ordeal that resulted after his mother, Donda West, passed away due to complications from post-operation complications after plastic surgery.
He writes: “I want to forgive and stop hating.”
The Blast reached out to Adams via text to see what he thought of the idea. He responded saying: “It’s a MacGuffin.”
Apparently, MacGuffin is a term from the film world used for a symbol that represents a larger idea. In the case of Adams, Kanye is using him as a symbol of his journey towards forgiveness and love.
Kanye West’s mother, Donda West, died in 2007 one day after Dr Adams performed cosmetic surgeries, including breast reduction and liposuction. The coroner’s report ruled Donda died of Coronary artery disease and multiple post-operative factors due to or as a consequence of liposuction and mammoplasty.
Adams was also hit with two malpractice suits after the incident, which reportedly cost him almost $500,000. Later, the Medical Board hit him with official complaints, and the doctor chose to surrender his license rather than contest the complaints.
