A tense moment in Kanye “Ye” West’s family life has come to light.
In the raw new documentary “In Whose Name?” about the “Gold Digger” rapper, which premiered in theaters Sept. 19, he and then-mother-in-law Kris Jenner engage in a tense confrontation over his mental health and treatment.
As seen in footage taken of the Nico Ballesteros-directed film shared to social media, Kanye — who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 — tells Jenner that he “would rather be dead than to be on medication.”
“No one from the family has taken any responsibility for my hospital visit,” he says to Jenner, mom to his then-wife Kim Kardashian, while wearing a Make America Great Again hat in the scene filmed after he visited Donald Trump at the White House in 2018, per People. “That’s 50 percent of what people say at least. Am I lying?”
After Jenner tells him that “it doesn’t matter” what people are saying, Kanye starts to scream, “It does matter!” at her several times as her boyfriend Corey Gamble tries to interject from off camera.
“I haven’t finished the sentence,” “The Kardashians” star responds. “It matters to us and you. It doesn’t matter what the internet says. It matters what we think, Ye.”

After having stormed out of the kitchen they were standing in, the Yeezy founder walks back into the room and asks Kris to elaborate.
“So, what do you think?” he asks. “Did you have an effect on my mental health?”
“Yes! I’m saying yes. and I love you,” Jenner answers. “I love you. I don’t want you to be not perfect. I love you, and I want my daughter to love you the way you want her to love you.”
E! News has reached out to Jenner’s reps for comment and have not heard back.
This isn’t the only tense moment that Kanye has in the documentary. A trailer released for the film last month teased several arguments with his Kardashian — from whom he got divorced in 2021 — as well.
At one point, the Skims founder — who shares kids North West, 12, Saint West, 9, Chicago West, 7, and Psalm West, 6, with Kanye — can be heard crying as she tells the rapper, “Your personality was not like this a few years ago.”
In another clip from the trailer, he scolds Kardashian, “Never tell me I’m gonna wake up one day and have nothing.”
After she tells him, “We can talk about that later, but…” Kanye snaps back, “It ain’t no ‘but.’”
