Documentary exhibits Kanye West's strong fight with Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian's mother
Kanye West is back in the spotlight after a video was leaked of his heated argument with his children's grandmother.
On Friday, September 19, the documentary 'In Whose Name?' was released, directed by filmmaker Nico Ballesteros. It shows chilling details about the life of rapper Kanye West, also known as YE.
The film, which was released in over a thousand theaters across the United States, explores various episodes in the life of Kanye West and that go from 2018 to 2024.
The documentary, which was made thanks to a footage of 3,000 hours, portrays some of the hardest chapters in the life of Kim Kardashian's ex such as his diagnosis of bipolar disorder, his failed presidential campaign and his relationship with his ex's family.
One of the scenes that you have given the most to talk about is the one that shows a very heated argument between Kanye West and Kris Jenner, which occurred in October 2018 and after the latter decided to stop taking his medication.
"I would rather be dead than on medication," West is heard saying in a fragment of their argument, in which he took the opportunity to reproach her for her absence during his hospitalization in 2016.
"The only reason why they got away with it is because I “I was on medication,” Kanye West can be heard shouting, while Kris Jenner tried to calm him down by assuring him that nothing had turned out the way he imagined.
“It doesn't matter what the internet says, it matters what we think, Ye. I love you. I don't want you to not be perfect. I want my daughter to love you the way you want me to,” the Kardashian matriarch can be heard saying, while her then son-in-law confronted her about what he considered an injustice.
In the scene, Kanye West can be seen raising his voice at various times during their argument, as well as pacing, while Kris Jenner, wearing red pants, remained in the same place and tried to remain calm, while trying to him make see reason.
The documentary had already caused a stir with its trailer, which showed Kim Kardashian very upset after learning that her then-partner had stopped taking her medication.
In the footage, Kim Kardashian can be heard crying as she tells West, “Your personality wasn't like this a few years ago.”
A moment that shows how tensions in their marriage grew, parallel to West's personal struggles with his mental health.
