Kim Kardashian broke down in tears as she pleaded with her then husband Kanye West: ‘your personality was not like this a few years ago!’ in an explosive documentary trailer about the controversial rapper, DailyMail reports.
According to the report by DailyMail, the businesswoman, 44, could be heard getting upset during a heated argument with Kanye in a video teasing the upcoming In Whose Name? documentary.
The beginning of the trailer, which was released on YouTube on Wednesday, showed a tense moment between Kim Kardashian and West, who now goes by Ye, when they were still married.
With her voice audibly shaking and seemingly sobbing Kim Kardashian says to him: ‘Your personality was not like this a few years ago!’
The rapper then admitted that he stopped taking his medication for his bipolar disorder: ‘I’m off my meds for five months now.’
He later added: ‘I’d rather be dead than to be on medication. Either they destroy me or I destroy it.’
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were previously married from 2014 to 2022 and share four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
Their divorce proceedings and ongoing co-parenting dynamic has made headlines over the years – even back to when their marriage started breaking down in the public eye and as he continued sharing offensive social media posts years after their split.
He previously opened up about begin diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 after being hospitalized for a psychiatric emergency.
However, earlier this year, West said he was misdiagnosed and has now been diagnosed as autistic, which is not a mental illness.
Audio clips were stitched together with West talking and at other points, his voice was even yelling: ‘It’s a calling by the universe. Never tell me I’m going to wake up one day and have nothing.’
Then, the then-couple could be seen sitting on a couch together, facing each other.
After what appeared to be another tense conversation, she calmly said to him, ‘We could talk about that later, but…’ before he interrupts her: ”It ain’t no but.’
‘When I went to the hospital and one of the ideas was to do a church,’ he narrated alongside clips of his Easter Sunday Service performance at the 2019 Coachella Music Festival, where he appeared to be crying as Chance the Rapper consoled him.
‘Yeah, I was just being embarrassed or ashamed to cry, man,’ he narrated alongside more clips of his activities over the years, including making music, filming artistic videos, spending time with his young children and designing fashion.

In the trailer, West could be seen with their kids and traveling with their eldest daughter North West when she was a toddler.
At one point in the explosive trailer, he was heard yelling: ‘I almost killed my daughter.’
Going back to how he stopped taking his medication, he was also heard declaring: ‘I’d rather be dead than to be on medication. Either they destroy me or I destroy it.’
‘It’s a sad dream,’ Kardashian’s voice made one final appearance as West continued to vent.
‘They’re killing our ability to think outside of the box. And I’m almost like a masochist,’ he said.
‘I like whatever I want, when I want. It’s worse.’
In the concluding clip, he proclaimed: ‘You know the best thing about being an artist and bipolar? Anything you do and say is an art piece.’
The trailer showed clips preceding when West got married to Bianca Censori, so it is unclear if the documentary will feature the 30-year-old Yeezy architect-turned-model.
The upcoming documentary was directed and produced by Nico Ballesteros, a filmmaker who started working as an intern for West at age 18 and filmed him over six years.
The summary of the trailer read: ‘Over six years, 18-year-old Nico Ballesteros captured an unfiltered portrait of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, offering unprecedented access into the private and public life of one of the most controversial figures in modern culture.
‘The film charts Ye’s meteoric rise to becoming the richest Black man in American history and the choices, contradictions, and collapses that have since redefined his legacy,’ the description continued.
‘Featuring appearances by Kim Kardashian and other influential figures from Ye’s inner circle, the documentary explores the razor’s edge between creative genius and self-destruction, revealing the cost of freedom in a fame-obsessed world.’
The documentary is set for release on September 19 and, according to Ballesteros, will premiere in ‘thousands’ of AMC Theaters.
