Kanye West recently rapped on the phone for a dying young fan, it has emerged.

The story first came to light last week when a Twitter user tweeted that the rapper had contacted the girl, who sadly died soon after following a battle with cancer.

‘This girl in my town had cancer and Kanye called her a couple days ago to rap for her,’ twitter user @stalkdebbie said.

‘I think Kim was there too,’ they added. ‘Wasn’t even blasted on social media or anything. She passed yesterday. I have so much respect for him tho. Making her happy in her last moments.’

The story appeared to be confirmed on Monday by Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, who quoted the original tweet with the message ‘We are praying for her family’.

As highlighted by the original tweet, this kind act might well have gone unnoticed had it not been shared on social media. It makes you wonder how many similar gestures from Kanye have gone under the radar…
