Kim Kardashian once made a chilling threat to Kanye West during an intense phone call that has surfaced again in the new documentary In Whose Mind?.
The film, directed by Nicolas Ballesteros, consists of never-before-seen footage of West over the course of six years, including a dramatic confrontation in 2018 that reveals new insight into the couple’s troubled relationship.
As per People, the exchange starts with Kim stating she was seriously upset about Kanye’s conduct and how it made her feel. “I can’t sleep. I’ve been crying all day. It’s just this bad dream that’s not ending,” she said to him, her voice trembling with emotion. Kanye, on the other hand, brushed aside her concern by saying, “I don’t care about the music business. I don’t care about the work field. I’m in a slave business.”
Kim moved hastily to counteract that attitude, responding, “Just ’cause you work and you get paid doesn’t mean you’re a slave.” She continued, warning him of the repercussions of his words and actions. “I’m not about burning bridges with companies,” the SKIMS creator emphasized. “You’re gonna wake up one day and you’re gonna have, like, nothing.”
The comment hit a chord with Kanye, who responded defensively. “No! Never tell me I’m gonna wake up one day and have nothing. Never put that into the universe,” he fired back. The heated exchange underscored the mounting tension between the pair, who ultimately divorced in 2021 after close to seven years of wedlock.
Another intense scene featuring Kim’s mom, Kris Jenner, is presented in the documentary, where she tried to bring up Kanye’s issues of mental health. Kanye, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 and had been hospitalized before, made a shocking revelation during their talk, stating that he “would rather be dead than to be on medication.”
In spite of his objection, Kris insisted that the family was dedicated to backing him up. “I don’t want you not to be perfect,” she told him. “I love you, and I want my daughter to love you the way you want her to love you.”
The revealed footage provides a personal look at the difficulties Kim, Kris, and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan had in attempting to manage Kanye’s public scandals and private issues. For devotees, the movie is a privileged peek into the breakdown of one of Tinseltown’s most well-known marriages, highlighting how personal and professional issues defined their relationship behind the scenes.
Whose Mind? is currently streaming, with fans being promised a closer insight into Kanye West’s rollercoaster life, his struggles with his mental health, and how it affected the people nearest to him.
