2018 Kim Kardashian-Kanye West Phone Call Revealed in Documentary Highlights Tensions

The new documentary In Whose Name? reveals a tense 2018 phone call between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West shortly after West's controversial White House visit where he met with then-President Donald Trump. In the call, Kardashian expresses deep emotional distress and concern over West's behavior and reputation in the music industry, warning him that he risks losing everything due to his dramatic actions. West dismisses her concerns, likening his struggles with Universal Music Group to slavery, which Kardashian finds demeaning, defending her own hard work and professional relationships. The exchange escalates as West accuses Kardashian's network, E!, of being a "slaveship," a claim she rejects while emphasizing gratitude for the opportunities it provided her. The documentary also features a separate confrontation between West and Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, highlighting ongoing family tensions related to West's mental health and behavior. The footage offers an unfiltered glimpse into West's personal and political life over six years, capturing the strain on their marriage, which ended in divorce in 2021, and their shared parenting of four children.
