The new documentary In Whose Name? gives us a unique look at the personal issues that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having in their relationship. It reveals a real and emotional phone chat between the two after West went to the White House in 2018.
The documentary was made over six years with West’s full cooperation. It looks back at a time when West’s public image was starting to go down. Kardashian’s voice on the angry phone call made it clear how agitated she was. She said to West, “I can’t sleep.” “It’s just this bad dream that won’t end,” I’ve been crying all day. She tells him, “You’re losing; everyone around you is like… there’s a way to talk about how you feel,” to get him to recognize how what he’s done has affected him. But if you keep acting like this, you’ll wake up one day with nothing.
West is shown asking her questions and telling her about his work troubles, calling his employment a “slave business” and the entertainment industry a “slaveship.” In response to Kardashian’s warning, he says, “Don’t ever tell me I’m going to wake up one day and have nothing.” Never put that out there.
The documentary was made with more than 3,000 hours of personal film and was directed by Nico Ballesteros. This gives them a look at how the artist thinks during these hard times without any filters. It features private moments, heated arguments, and personal ideas that show you what West’s life is like outside of the spotlight. The movie also exposes how hard it is for him to get along with the people who are closest to him, like when he fights with members of the Kardashian and Jenner families.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian started dating in 2012, got married in 2014, and filed for divorce in 2021. They have four children together. The documentary tells us crucial things about the private troubles that occured in their very public relationship.
