OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Entertainers John Legend, Anita Baker, Beyonce and Jay-Z attended Tuesday's funeral service for Donda West, singer Kanye West's mother, in Oklahoma.

After the private ceremony at the True Vine Ministry church in Oklahoma City, two horse-drawn carriages carried her body to the cemetery, "Access Hollywood" reported.

The night before, Kanye West performed in Brussels, Belgium, telling the crowd his mother would want him to keep on singing.

"If she was here, she would tell me to get on that stage and kill it," he said.

Donda West died this month at the age of 58 due to complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure.
