Kanye West debuted his latest side-project on Thursday — a video game about his late mother Donda flying throughout heaven.

At his New York Fashion Week event in Madison Square Garden, the 38-year-old rapper debuted not only his third fashion season with Adidas and new album The Life of Pablo, but showed his worldwide audience a trailer of his new video game titled "Only One: The Game."

“I worked on a video game and I wanted to show y’all,” West said. “The idea of the game is my mom traveling through the gates of heaven.”

In 2007, 58-year-old Donda West died from complications from plastic surgery procedure.

Kanye admit that creating the project was "not easy to do, man." And after a very generous applause from the crowd: “Y’all just be acting like that s**t is regular.”
