Kim Kardashian tearfully tells Kanye West his ‘personality wasn't like this' in new documentary: 'I would rather be dead than be on medication'
Kanye West
's upcoming documentary In Whose Name? is passionate and confrontational.
At the beginning of the video, the rapper revealed he had been off his medication for five months.
The footage shows the 48-year-old pacing around a circle of Yeezy sneakers, seemingly from his 2019 Forbes cover shoot.
A string of tense and emotional moments follow, including one in which he closes a door bearing Kim Kardashian's name while she sobs, telling him his personality had not been that way just a few years earlier.
The trailer also features a picture of Kanye and his 11-year-old daughter, North, riding in the back of a car before he snaps, 'Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one day and have nothing.' In another exchange, Kim begins, 'We can talk about that later, but—' before Kanye cuts her off, saying, 'It ain't no but!'
Directed by Nico Ballesteros, the documentary chronicles six years of Kanye's life — from public breakdowns, brand fallouts, and ongoing mental health struggles to his 2020 presidential campaign, which included the rally in South Carolina where he claimed he and Kim nearly aborted their daughter.
In the teaser, Kanye says, 'I would rather be dead than be on medication... Either they destroy me or I destroy it.' He also declares, 'They're killing our ability to think outside the box,' and concludes, 'You know the best thing about being an artist and bipolar? Anything you do and say is an art piece.
'
According to the film's synopsis, 'This began as silent observation and evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth.
(Ballesteros) bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil, but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye's world.'
'For a shy kid,' Nico explains, 'the camera became both a window and a shield — a way to channel my introspection while still engaging with the world. Ye has always had someone filming him too, a lens between him and the noise.' Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he added, 'Maybe that's why we understood each other without saying much.'
A statement about the project says the title 'examines the evolving nature of idolatry, both in Ye's cultivation of public idolatry and in his pursuit of various idols, from luxury brands and celebrity to faith and family.'

Mukesh Khanna says Ranveer Singh can play Tamraj Kilvish: 'Many people tell me, yeh nashedi ko Shaktimaan mat banana'
Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna ruled the small screen in the 1990s with his iconic superhero role in Shaktimaan. So, when it was announced that the cult show would get a big-screen adaptation, fans were naturally excited. However, the film's casting is still under discussion, and reports suggest that the studio is keen on having Ranveer Singh as the lead. But Khanna has been vocal about not seeing Ranveer as the right choice. 'He can play the villain, not Shaktimaan' In a recent interview with Filmygyan, Mukesh Khanna addressed a fan who suggested that he should let Ranveer Singh take on the superhero's mantle. The veteran actor admitted to liking Ranveer's energy and talent but clarified that he doesn't see him as Shaktimaan. 'You can't change my mind. You like Ranveer Singh, and I like him too. We've sat and talked for three hours, and he's a very energetic actor. But I have openly said to his face, you can play Tamraj Kilvish (the story's villain). His face has a mischievous positivity. This actor — if you tell him to play Shaktimaan, you might enjoy it because he makes you dance, but you need someone mature enough to play Shaktimaan,' Khanna said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

'I need the right face, not just an actor' Khanna further explained that an actor's real-life image influences their reel-life portrayal. He said, 'Maine kaha dekho, mereko Shaktimaan ke liye actor nahi chahiye, face bhi chahiye. Kahin na kahin real-life mein agar aapki image galat hai, toh woh beech mein aati hai. Kayi log mujhe Ranveer Singh ke liye bolte hai ki arrey sahab yeh nashedi ko Shaktimaan mat banana, humare bachpan ki yaadien khatam ho jaayengi' (I said, look, I don't just need an actor for Shaktimaan, I also need the right face.

Shaktimaan aired on Doordarshan from 1997 to 2005, with Mukesh Khanna playing the dual role of Shaktimaan and his alter ego Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri, a bumbling photojournalist. The show became a cultural phenomenon, and its upcoming cinematic adaptation is among the most anticipated projects in Bollywood.

Rajesh Khanna's alleged girlfriend Anita Advani reveals they fought often, once told him he could have a harem: 'He said, people get married four times, they have so many girlfriends'
Bollywood's first superstar Rajesh Khanna 's personal life has always intrigued fans. He married Dimple Kapadia , who was half his age, in 1973, but the two separated within a few years when Dimple moved out with their daughters, Twinkle and Rinke. Years later, Rajesh 's alleged girlfriend Anita Advani moved into his residence, and they lived together until his death in 2012. Frequent fights and harsh words In a new interview with YouTube channel Meri Saheli, Anita shared insights into her turbulent relationship with the late actor. She revealed that they often fought, and whenever she felt deeply offended, she would leave his house. Recalling one such incident, she said Rajesh once praised another woman in front of her, which left her furious. 'I said, 'Okay then, you be with her'. He said, 'I am just talking about her' but I was extremely mad. He said, 'People get married four times, they have so many girlfriends'. So I said, 'Why girlfriends? You can have a harem. You can do whatever'. We fought a lot and I left,' Anita recalled. Rajesh's reaction after a fight Anita shared that the very next day, while she was attending an event, Rajesh called her repeatedly. 'He said, 'There has been some legal order about Ayodhya and things could get out of control, there could be riots, so you come back to the house now'. I said, 'Then good riddance of bad rubbish. You have so many people to be with so why are you bothered about me?' He said, 'Don't talk rubbish. If something happens to you, I will burn the world down',' she said. Rajesh Khanna's 10th death anniversary: When Dimple Kapadia spoke fondly about her ex-husband: 'We may have separated…' 'We got married privately' In the same interview, Anita claimed she first met Rajesh when she was still in her teens and he was already a superstar. While Rajesh and Dimple never officially divorced, Anita alleged that she and the actor tied the knot privately. 'We got married privately, but in the film industry, no one talks about such things openly. Everyone says 'we're friends' or 'we're in a relationship' or something else. But it was already reported in the media that I was with him, so neither of us felt the need to go and publicly announce that we were married. We never felt that need,' she added.

Mukesh Khanna criticizes Jaya Bachchan's behaviour towards paparazzi amid the recent Parliament row; describes her act as simply 'wrong'
Jaya Bachchan is one of the most talented stars we have in the industry. However, she often finds herself in hot water owing to her rapport with fans and paparazzi. Recently, as well, when a fan tried to take a selfie with Jaya Bachchan outside Parliament, she was taken by surprise. She pushed the person and lashed out at him. This behaviour made her receive heavy criticism, and now 'Shaktimaan' fame Mukesh Khanna has also called out Jaya Bachchan. 'Aj kal jo rajyad sabha me unko behaviour dikh rha hai, jo unka journalists k sath, kya bolte hai ap, paprazi ke sath, 'kon hai ap? Kya kare rhe ap? Kya chahiye apko?' galat hai.' (Her behaviour in the Parliament, with the journalists, paparazzi, saying who are you, what are you doing, what do you want, this is wrong), said Mukesh Khanna while speaking to FilmyGyan. He added, 'Aap inke liye jee rahe ho.' (You are living for them). He then cited Amreesh Puri and Dilip Kumar, and how they used to speak to the shutterbugs. 'Dilip sahab used to ask 'who is sitting behind the camera,' but that was because he had trouble with that, but the way she talks in Rajya Sabha,' he said, expressing his discontentment. 'I feel she is either upset with something at home, but the arguments she gives I don't like them," he said before adding and asking why else would an actress who is so talented, have given movies like 'Mili' and 'Abhimaan,' would indulge in such behaviour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Kangana Ranaut and Ashoke Pandit slam Jaya Bachchan Mukesh Khanna is not the only one who disapproved of her behaviour.
