Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was once celebrated for his musical genius. But over the years, his controversial personality has overshadowed the brilliance inside him in the public eye. Especially in the past decade, the rapper- with his provocative, no-holds-barred comments- has hurt his decades-long career. And fans have often wondered- Why? To get to the bottom of it all, a brand-new, mysterious documentary about Ye, In Whose Name?, is preparing to hit the screens very soon. But this is not just any average documentary.

In Whose Name?, has a budget that could make even high-octane, larger-than-life Marvel movies look like they were made on a shoestring.

Ye’s life is again about to be examined- this time by Goodfellas and Utopia. The bio-documentary, In Whose Name?, which has filmed the last six years of the 'Donda' rapper’s life, has reportedly been shooting in secrecy for a while now. And after a lot of speculation, a first-look image of the project has finally been unveiled alongside its rumored budget, which is said to be $1 billion. According to Variety, the documentary will be presented at the American Film Market next week, to secure international distribution. 

At the Film Market, on November 7, the production studios will also screen a promo reel for the upcoming documentary. The six years that In Whose Name? covers have some of the most transformative moments in Ye's journey. From tying the knot again and watching his billionaire status slip away to completely rebranding himself as 'Ye', the rapper has undergone quite the transformation in the public eye. But this will not be his first experience with documentaries.

In 2022, Netflix released Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, and a resurfaced clip from this documentary generated a lot of discussion last month.

Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy zoomed in on Ye’s early life as a rapper and his drive to become an icon. Last month, as a clip from the documentary popped up online, it sent shivers down fans’ spines. In the resurfaced clip, Ye was seen vibing to 'College Dropout' demo tracks with hauntingly fiery energy and ambition, making fans wonder just how motivated the rapper was even when he was still a newbie. However, the upcoming documentary is set to be a different story.

Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy showcased the ‘Old Kanye,’ focusing on his climb in the industry. Meanwhile, the upcoming In Whose Name? will shine a light on his downfall and transformation into the ‘New Ye.’ While the team behind the documentary is keeping the film's contents tightly under wraps, given the timeframe it covers, it is a safe bet that In Whose Name? will tackle Ye's biggest controversies in some way.
