Kanye West has spoken out for the first time since his mother Donda's death last November.

In a blog post titled “Thank you for all your support,” on his Web site, the rapper wrote that he used the game Connect Four as therapy.

“When I was in Europe I would play this game for hours and hours... it helped me zone out. Everybody would get envolved [sic]...” he said.

He praised Beyoncé as the “legendary connect [four] champion” and even showed a photo of them facing off recently at the opening of Jay-Z’s 40/40 club in Las Vegas. “She beat me 9 times in a row! (and I didn't even spaz lol),” he wrote.

He signed off: “Happy new year everybody…”
