Rapper Kanye West has been handed control of his late mother's estate, six months after her sudden death. A Los Angeles court ruled on Thursday that Kanye and his financial manager Shawn Gee be co-executors of Donda's estate - valued at less than $250,000.

West died in November from complications following a cosmetic surgery procedure. She was 58.

Donda, who had retired as a doctor and was managing West's affairs when she died, didn't leave a will.
