Kanye West melts down in teaser for documentary, In Whose Name?

An explosive new documentary is set to shed more light on the troubled life of Kanye West.

Shot by filmmaker Nico Ballesteros, the film captures private moments over six years of apparent worsening mental health struggles and his collapsing marriage to TV star Kim Kardashian.

The documentary In Whose Name?, chronicling West's inner world, will be released in approximately 1,000 cinemas on 19 September.

A teaser released on Wednesday shows West declaring, "I'm off my meds for five months now," at which an anguished Kardashian says in a breaking voice, "Your personality was not like this a few years ago!"

It gets more dramatic from there, with West, AKA Ye, vowing, "I would rather be dead than be on medication. Either they destroy me or I destroy it. I'm almost like a masochist. I write whatever I want when I want! It's words!"

An official synopsis of the film notes: "What began as silent observation evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth. Immersed in Ye's world of extremes, Ballesteros bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil, but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye's world.

"In the end, Ballesteros captured not just a portrait of Ye, but a reflection of the human condition in all its contradictions. The camera never blinks as Ye speaks candidly about living with bipolar disorder, offering rare insight into the realities of mental illness and its impact on identity, perception, and power."
