Kanye West is all set to be the star of BBC’s new documentary. The singer may have gone underground but remains the main topic of discussion in the media regardless of his absence. It is perhaps his magnetism or his actions that manage to bring up his name in almost every conversation, whether in music, fashion, or politics.

The ambitious entertainer is not short of his share of controversies. Any other celebrity would have been canceled for the conduct of this kind. But Ye has managed to make people create a documentary. This time, it will tell his life story against the backdrop of his second attempt at the presidency through the 2024 elections.

No one took Ye seriously when he announced his presidential campaign in 2020. But not only did he stand for the elections, he surprisingly managed to gain 60,000 votes. For 2024, he has decided to give it another go, which will be the main backdrop of BBC’s documentary We Need to Talk About Kanye. As per CalssifiedMarketing, the documentary will unravel answers to his phenomenal popularity. At one point, Ye even confessed to becoming a candidate, so the government would be forced to check his finances. After his anti-Semitic remarks and distance from collaborators, his flow of income came to a halt.

There is already a Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy documentary showcasing his rise and life, which was released last year. But the upcoming one will try to understand the complicated personality and his controversies in the last few months. Currently, the entertainer is underground but likely on some new project.
