The upcoming BBC documentary on Kanye West, We Need To Talk About Kanye, will reportedly do more than just sum up the artist's recent controversies and public image. Moreover, the film's producer Jeremy Lee recently spoke to Variety and detailed what it will consist of. While we already knew it would chronicle Ye's antisemitic tirades and 2024 presidential election, it will apparently divulge much more information. Of course, it's likely that it will take more steps to provide the truth rather than add context to fluff up or justify his actions. However, given what little we know of the project so far, anything could happen.
"Underpinned with world-class journalism and unique access to members of Ye’s inner circle, this is a revelation-driven film which sheds new light on recent events,” Lee stated. Also, he confirmed that Kanye West knows of the documentary, but will not be involved in any way. “Ye’s recent behavior has prompted both condemnation and a re-evaluation of his place in popular culture. With recent events as a starting point, the documentary and accompanying eight-part podcast series [The Kanye Story] explore Ye’s two decades in the public eye amid a rumored YE2024 election campaign." Said election campaign has reportedly ended.

Furthermore, Variety also reported that BBC sold the doc to various countries after ordering it in February. Networks in Finland, Belgium, Australia, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark already secured rights to the project. Moreover, investigative journalist Mobeen Azhar took the helm in the movie, who also explored Britney Spears' conservatorship in the film The Battle For Britney. In addition, The Kanye Story will further explore Kanye West's career with help from top music industry executives. As such, this documentary reportedly aims to shed more light and context into what Ye's recent questionable behavior means for the past, present, and future of his career.
Meanwhile, this film's focus on Kanye West's 2024 presidential campaign recently took a turn. "Right now, I am living my life,” he allegedly told a documentary producer he hired, according to a Daily Beast report. “Like I’m concentrating on the school, The Donda Academy, and my new wife, and my kids, and that’s it. I just want to be left alone." Regardless, We Need To Talk About Kanye shaped up to be a much more informative affair with this Variety report.
