Kanye West screamed at Kris Jenner during a tense discussion about his medication in the rapper’s new documentary, In Whose Name?
In a shocking moment, the Grammy winner told his then-mother-in-law he would “rather be dead” than take medication.
“Y’all demasculated me and made me feel like a piece of s–t,” he said. “And the only reason you got away with it is because I was medicated.”
At the time, Jenner was pleading with her then-son-in-law to take his medication.
“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,” the 48-year-old songwriter said. “Am I lying?”
When Jenner, 69, responded that “it doesn’t matter,” West erupted.
“It does matter!” he yelled repeatedly, shouting over Jenner as she pointed out that he hadn’t “finished a sentence.”
The “Kardashians” star clarified, “It matters to us and you. It doesn’t matter what the internet says. It matters what we think, Ye.”
Jenner broke down in tears as West continued to yell at her.
As she spoke, West stormed past her, grabbing a gray sweatshirt and a red “Make America Great Again” hat from the kitchen countertop.
He returned to the room and asked, “So what do you think? Did you have an effect on my mental health?”
By this point, Jenner was visibly crying. “Yes. Yes. Yes. I’m saying yes. And I love you. I love you. I don’t want you to be not perfect. I love you,” she replied.
She agreed with West that the Kardashian-Jenner family had an “effect on [his] mental health.”
“I want my daughter [Kim Kardashian] to love you the way you want her to love you,” she added.
West married Kardashian, 44, in 2014, and the couple welcomed four children: daughter North, 12; son Saint, 9; daughter Chicago, 7; and son Psalm, 6. They divorced in 2022.
During their marriage, West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, though he later clarified, “Come to find out, it’s really a case of autism that I have.”
He was more recently diagnosed with autism.
Kardashian is also featured in the documentary, which premieres Friday, and appears in several trailers for the project.
“Your personality was not like this a few years ago,” she told her then-husband in one clip.
In another, she told West they would “talk about that later” after he demanded she “never tell [him he’s] gonna wake up one day and have nothing!”
At her interruption, West yelled, “It ain’t no but!”
The Yeezy creator moved on in 2022 with wife Bianca Censori, 30, who has become known for daring fashion choices, including a see-through Grammys dress and candy-colored lingerie that West reportedly paid her to wear.
Although the architectural designer does not appear in the documentary trailer, the film was shot over six years, from 2019 to 2025.
In Whose Name? premieres in select theaters Friday.
