Chingy has gone into the vault and found a special throwback photo of him and his Mother alongside Kanye West and the late Donda West.

The “Right Thurr” rapper participated in Throwback Thursday on Instagram this week (April 6) with a heartfelt post that featured a picture with Ye at what he believes was the 2004 BET Awards.

Chingy explained that his mother, Jean (pictured in red below), as well as Donda West (pictured far left) both have passed away in the years since the photo was taken making it extra meaningful to him.

“This is special because me and @kanyewest mothers have transitioned on,” Chingy captioned the classic flick. I remember we took this pic it was all love.

“I think it was @bet awards an he beat me for beat new artist hahaha but it was all love. DONDA AND MOMA JEAN REST IN PARADISE!”

If Chingy’s hunch is correct, Kanye West did beat him out for Best New Artist at the 2005 BET Awards while Pharrell, Anthony Hamilton and Ruben Studdard were also nominated in the category.

Donda West tragically passed away in 2007 from coronary artery disease and complications related to cosmetic surgery. While Chingy’s mother, Vernita “Jean” Crawford, died from natural causes at the age of 59 in 2017.

“The loss of our mother was unforeseen and heartbreaking,” he wrote in a letter at the time. “She was the foundation to who my siblings and I are and she is loved by many. We’re asking for privacy in this time of bereavement and hope you continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers, as we learn to cope with this devastating absence from our family structure.”

The St. Louis native opened up about the loss of his mom in a vulnerable 2020 interview with PEOPLE. He was happy to deliver on his promise of buying her a home once his rap career took off.

“A lot of things aren’t great anymore since losing my mom. It’s a dullness that’s in me,” he candidly stated. “I can still can go on, but part of me is gone. Something like that can make you want to give up and quit because it’s a serious matter losing your mom. You come out of your mother, so you got this vibrational energy that’s just with your mother.”
