This comes after Kanye revealed his plans to use the doctor’s photo as the artwork for his new album.
Over the past weekend, Kanye shared a photo of Jan Adams on social media and said he wants to use him as the artwork for his next album cover because he wants to forgive and stop hating.
Donda died in 2007 of heart disease and multiple post-operative factors the day after Adams performed liposuction and breast reduction surgery on her.
Kanye has been carrying the hurt for 11 years but said he’s willing to heal by forgiving Adams.
However, Adams is not in support of being used as his album cover.
He recently issued an open letter in which he confirmed his intention to seek a cease-and-desist warning against the rapper using his image.
He writes: “I ask that you cease and desist using my photo or any image of me to promote your album or any of your work. I don’t want to seem ungrateful, I just think that if in fact, this conversion to love is genuine on your part, then it’s inappropriate to drag the negativity of the past with it.”
He also points to a Los Angeles Coroner’s report into Donda West’s death, which stated that Donda died of heart disease while suffering from “multiple post-operative factors” after plastic surgery.
Adams further put a blame on Kanye’s cousin, Stephan Scoggins, claiming that he left the rapper’s mother alone after surgery when he was supposed to be the primary caregiver.
Responding to the open letter, Kanye West shared a screenshot of the letter on Twitter writing: “Thank you so much for this connection brother. I can’t wait to sit with you and start healing.”
