Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West is the subject of the new movie In Whose Name? which opens on Friday.
There are several revelations about the 48-year-old rapper as rare iPhone videos are seen of the artist melting down.
The unauthorized documentary from filmmaker Nico Ballesteros sees the star across six years from 2018 to 2024.
It is not know how Ballesteros, who was 18 when the filming began, was able to get some much of West on camera.
In the movie, the father of four is seen struggling with bipolar disorder, fighting with Kardashian, making Kris Jenner cry, talking to Charlie Kirk, and asking for ‘death con 3’ on Jewish people.
Also seen in the film are Lady Gaga, Drake, LeBron James, Chris Rock, Diddy, Rihanna, Virgil Abloh and Justin Bieber.

West and Kardashian’s marriage fell apart in early 2018 after marrying in 2014. They had four children: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 6.
When he came home from Chicago to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a White Sox game, Kardashian asked him why he told reporters they were moving to Illinois.
‘We can talk about that later, and more thoroughly, but – ‘ Kim said.
West admitted he had been off his meds for five months. ‘It ain’t no but!’ West shouted.
And he is seen screaming at Kris Jenner and makes her cry when she asks him to take his medication.
‘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,’ West shouted. ‘I would rather be dead than be on medication.’
‘It doesn’t matter,’ Kris answered, as West began yelling, ‘It do matter! It does matter! It does matter!’

‘It matters to us, and you. It doesn’t matter what the internet says. It matters what we think, Ye,’ Jenner replied. ‘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.’
The movie covers his beef with Taylor Swift from the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
‘Here I am, just an innocent, 19-year-old girl minding my own business at the VMAs,’ a woman in West’s entourage, mocking Swift’s stunned reaction, joked following the infamous incident. ‘Oh! Someone’s interrupting me! Oh!’
Pharrell Williams warns West about ‘f***ing up’ his life and career in 2018.
One of the most surprising appearances is Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed while onstage for an event at Utah Valley University in Utah, on Sept. 10.
The Turning Point USA founder appeared with West and Candace Owens, who was serving as his conservative group’s communications director at the time. Kirk talked breaking the internet.
‘Culture will always be upstream from politics,’ Owens, 36, said. ‘Whoever can control culture, can control politics.’
This took place in April 2018.
West also had an issue with Saturday Night Live star Michael Che in September 2018. Che asked West why he was acting out when everyone ‘loves’ him, and the rapper said he had issues with the show.
Then there was West’s phone call with Jared Kushner, the husband of Ivanka Trump.
West wanted special entrance into the White House because ‘I need to be loved and respected as such,’ he said.
‘If I get killed wearing the hat in front of the White House, you’re not gonna win any midterms,’ West added. ‘Listen! Finish listening to me and hear me!’
Billionaire Elon Musk is also seen.
‘So are you and Kim off and on or something?’ the Tesla CEO asked.
‘I don’t have the answers,’ West finally replied. ‘Answers to everything except for that.’
In Whose Name premieres in select theaters September 19.
