Kanye West's Stormy Saga: From Kris Jenner Tears to Charlie Kirk
Kanye West's Epic Meltdown Exposed: The Unauthorized Documentary That Will Leave You Speechless
Get ready for a wild ride as the shocking new documentary "In Whose Name?" drops on September 19, offering an unfiltered look into the tumultuous life of Kanye West. For six years, from 2018 to 2024, filmmaker Nico Ballesteros had unprecedented access to the 48-year-old rapper, capturing his most intimate and explosive moments.
The 45-minute film promises to be a jaw-dropping exposé, revealing West's struggles with bipolar disorder, his public feuds, and even his bizarre phone calls to high-profile figures. We've got the inside scoop on what you can expect from this tell-all documentary.
West's Epic Meltdown: When Meds Go Missing
The film begins in 2018, when West was struggling to manage his bipolar disorder. He admits to being off his medication for five months, and the consequences are devastating. In a heart-wrenching scene, Kim Kardashian asks him why he told reporters they were moving to Illinois, only to have him lash out at her.
West's tirade is both shocking and heartbreaking: "It ain't no but! I would rather be dead than be on medication!" He screams at Kris Jenner, making her cry as she tries to reason with him. "Y'all demasculated me and made me feel like a piece of s*. And the only reason you got away with it is because I was medicated," he shouts.
The Taylor Swift Feud: Then and Now
One of the most memorable moments in the film comes when West's entourage mocks Taylor Swift's stunned reaction to his infamous 2009 interruption at the MTV Video Music Awards. A snarky comment from an aide sums up the incident: "Here I am, just an innocent, 19-year-old girl minding my own business at the VMAs... Oh! Someone's interrupting me!"
Pharrell Williams Issues a Warning
In another explosive scene, Pharrell Williams cautions West about his increasingly erratic behavior. In 2018, Williams warns him: "You're f*ing up your life and career." It seems like a warning that fell on deaf ears.
Charlie Kirk's Tragic Appearance
One of the most shocking aspects of the documentary is Charlie Kirk's appearance in 2018. The Turning Point USA founder was killed while onstage at Utah Valley University just two years later, in September 2020. West and Kirk had a conversation about "breaking the internet," with Owens saying: "Culture will always be upstream from politics... Whoever can control culture, can control politics."
West's Beef with SNL and Trump
West also goes head-to-head with Saturday Night Live star Michael Che in September 2018. When asked why he was acting out, West responds: "I've got issues with the show." Then, there's his phone call with Jared Kushner, where he demands special treatment at the White House because "I need to be loved and respected as such."
Elon Musk Gets Caught Up in the Drama
The Tesla CEO even gets a cameo in the documentary. Elon Musk asks West: "So are you and Kim off and on or something?" West's response? "I don't have the answers... Answers to everything except for that." The tension between the two is palpable.
A Star-Studded Cast
But "In Whose Name?" isn't just about West – it also features appearances from some of his closest friends and colleagues, including Lady Gaga, Drake, LeBron James, Chris Rock, Diddy, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber. It's a who's who of A-listers caught up in the drama.
The documentary promises to be a wild ride, offering an unfiltered look into West's life. Will you be tuning in on September 19?
