USA: A private 2018 phone call between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has resurfaced in the newly released documentary In Whose Name?, igniting public debate and rekindling memories of their turbulent relationship. The tense exchange, recorded shortly after West’s controversial White House visit, sheds light on the cracks in their marriage and highlights the strain of balancing fame, business, and personal values.
In the clip, Kim, 44, is heard breaking down in tears, saying she has been crying all day and feels trapped in what she describes as a “bad dream.” She expresses worry over how Kanye is being judged in professional circles and pleads with him to consider the wider perception of his actions.
Kanye, 48, dismisses her concerns, sharply questioning, “Who are you talking about … everyone?” He compares his struggles in the music industry to being enslaved by major labels, while Kim defends her own brand partnerships and insists she works just as hard.
The conversation intensifies when Kim warns Kanye that his bitterness could cost him everything. Kanye furiously rejects the idea, declaring that no one should ever suggest he could “wake up one day and have nothing.”
The documentary, which contains over 3,000 hours of footage collected across six years, offers a raw portrayal of Kanye’s battles with fame and control, as well as his often fragile personal life. The couple, married in 2014 and divorced in 2021, share four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
With the resurfacing of this call, the documentary has once again placed Kim and Kanye’s troubled past under the microscope, drawing both sympathy and criticism from global audiences.
