Ye has revealed what he thinks of upcoming documentary In Whose Name? which he has watched for the first time.

Directed by 18-year-old Nico Ballesteros, the film follows the controversial last six years of West’s life and was shot just using an iPhone. Sharing a screenshot of a text message conversation he had with West on Instagram, Ballesteros revealed the rapper and mogul’s emotional response to the film.

The documentary, produced by Goodfellas and Utopia, aims to give viewers an uncensored look at the life of one of Hip-Hop’s most polarizing figures. A press release for “In Whose Name?” emphasizes its exploration of West’s journey from a musical innovator to becoming the wealthiest Black man in U.S. history, all while addressing the risks he took in the name of personal and creative freedom.

Set to launch in 2025, the film is expected to offer a candid and immersive portrayal of West’s life and career, focusing on his internal battles, larger-than-life ambition, and often controversial expression of his beliefs. The synopsis reads:

“With a billion-dollar budget and a commitment to truth, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, invites 18-year-old Nicolas Ballesteros armed with an iPhone on a six-year journey revealing unfiltered aspects of celebrity life which confront the provocative opinions, grand visions and bold contrarianism that defined him as the world’s most controversial artist. The film follows Ye’s ascent to becoming the richest Black man in American history while uncovering why the superstar risked everything he had built in the name of freedom. Examining the culture that birthed the star, In Whose Name? explores the overlapping influences of corporate exploitation, racial complexities and psychological struggles inherent in the American dream.”
