Teenage filmmaker Nico Ballesteros has been shadowing Ye (formerly Kanye West<\/a>) since about 2019, and he\u2019s put the last six years filming the mercurial music star into a documentary titled In Whose Name?<\/p>\n A trailer for the cinematic doc surrounding the embattled Chicago native arrived on Wednesday (Aug. 13), ahead of its theater release by AMSI Entertainment, which will come on Sept. 19 in about 1,000 U.S. theaters, according to Deadline.<\/a><\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n The raw documentary gives fans a look behind the curtain of Ye\u2019s tailspin, triumphs and creative breakthroughs that have made him one of the most polarizing acts of the 21st century.<\/p>\n Kim Kardashian<\/a> is featured throughout the one-minute trailer, showcasing Ye\u2019s marriage to the reality mogul deteriorating in the late 2010s and into 2020. Kardashian filed for divorce <\/a>in 2021 and the split was settled in November 2022.<\/p>\n \u201cYour personality was not like this a few years ago,\u201d Kardashian says to Ye in the clip after he admitted he\u2019s been off his medications for five months.<\/p>\n West later fires back: \u201cI would rather be dead than be on medication \u2026 Either they destroy me or I destroy it \u2026 I\u2019m almost like a masochist \u2026 I write whatever I want when I want! It\u2019s words!\u201d<\/p>\n Directed by Ballesteros, the doc had been rumored for a while, but was not official until Wednesday. It appears the film will cover from around the Jesus Is King era in 2019 through 2024, a period which included albums such as Donda, Donda 2, Vultures and Vultures 2.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s unclear how the project will cover Ye\u2019s string of hate speech, which resulted in the loss of brand partnerships with Gap, Balenciaga and Adidas, in addition to widespread public backlash.<\/p>\n \u201cThis film presents a raw and often unsettling portrait, without commentary or conclusion, leaving viewers to interpret the events for themselves,\u201d said AMSI Entertainment\u2019s Simran Singh in a statement to Deadline. \u201cNico was living alongside Ye, camera in hand, not fully knowing what he was capturing or where it would lead, and that\u2019s exactly what makes the footage so powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the trailer below.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
