Watch: Kanye West Shuts Down Mothers Day, Hires Orchestra To Play As Kim Kardashian Awakes

Kanye West has officially upstaged every single person in the world for Mothers Day and has taken the title for best gift after giving his wife Kim Kardashian a surprise like only he could.

The rapper pulled out all the stops as he hired an orchestra to serenade Kimmy and North West as they woke from their sleep. In the shared footage, we see Kim as she arrives to her balcony overlooking their living room and holding North. The playlist consisted of music from Frozen and Annie.
