In Whose Name?,<\/a>\u00a0the upcoming documentary from director Nico Ballesteros, chronicles six tumultuous years in the life of\u00a0Kanye West<\/a>. In this exclusive clip from the film, which hits theaters September 19, West raps a verse for\u00a0Drake<\/a>\u00a0in what appears to be a studio space. Drake lauds, \u201cthat verse is crazy,\u201d and says, \u201cI know what that is, I get excited about those.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clip, from 2018, features a demo version of West\u2019s \u201cWouldn\u2019t Leave,\u201d which he recorded for a since-scrapped project called\u00a0Love Everyone. The final version of \u201cWouldn\u2019t Leave\u201d featured PARTYNEXTDOOR and appeared on his\u00a02018\u00a0Ye\u00a0album<\/a>. Kanye and Drake would later clash in 2018 as a consequence of the latter\u2019s feud with then-GOOD Music artist Pusha T. Since then, their public relationship has never been as friendly as the clip depicts, with the two repeatedly dissing each other in songs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ballesteros told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0that<\/a>\u00a0starting at age 18, he recorded more than 3,000 hours of footage of the controversial artist, and serves as the film\u2019s director and editor, as well as a producer. He followed Ye while working on his Yeezy brand and Sunday School gospel events, as well as controversies involving a beleaguered\u00a02020 presidential campaign,<\/a>\u00a0amplification of conservative conspiracy theories, and\u00a0antisemetic remarks<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The film chronicles his well-publicized experience living with bipolar disorder. The trailer begins with him noting, \u201cI\u2019m off my meds for five months now,\u201d and concludes with him opining, \u201cYou know the best thing about being bipolar? Anything you do or say is an art piece.\u201d The documentary will be released by AMSI Entertainment in conjunction with AMC, Regal, and Cinemark.<\/p>\n
