A newly released documentary about Kanye West has sparked a wave of online reactions after a tense clip surfaced showing the rapper in a heated argument with his then-mother-in-law, Kris Jenner.
The footage, featured in In Whose Name?, captures West shouting at Jenner during a discussion about his bipolar disorder, with Jenner urging him to take medication to manage his mental health. West’s response was defiant and emotional, telling Jenner he would “rather be dead” than medicated. Ye went on to confront Jenner over what he felt was a lack of accountability for a past hospitalization, saying, “No one from the family is taking any responsibility for my hospital visit, but if you wanna go online that’s 50 percent of what people say.

At least. Am I lying?” Jenner, visibly upset, replied, “It doesn’t matter,” prompting West to scream back, “It does matter!” as their exchange grew more intense.
