Charlie Kirk will be featured in the new documentary about Kanye West titled, In Whose Name?. The film will detail the turbulent last six years of the rapper's life. Other celebrities to make appearances will include Drake, Elon Musk, Pharrell Williams, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Lebron James, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, and Rihanna, according to the Twitter account YeFanatics.
The appearance from Kirk comes after he was shot and killed during a speech at Utah Valley University. Authorities have identified a 22-year-old by the name of Tyler Robinson as the prime suspect in the investigation. He is currently residing behind bars.
Several politicians and other celebrities have been sharing tributes for Kirk on social media in the wake of his death. President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!"
Kanye West "In Whose Name?"
Nico Ballesteros directed In Whose Name?, which will hit theaters on September 19. In doing so, he edited over 3000 hours of footage to create the final cut. A synopsis for the film obtained by Deadline reads: “What began as silent observation evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth. Immersed in Ye’s world of extremes, [Ballesteros] bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil; but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye’s world."
“In the end, Ballesteros captured not just a portrait of Ye, but a reflection of the human condition in all its contradictions," it continues. "The camera never blinks as Ye speaks candidly about living with bipolar disorder, offering rare insight into the realities of mental illness and its impact on identity, perception, and power. Through a personal lens, the film considers how mental health is handled – or left unspoken – among the weight of visibility and vulnerability.”
Over the last six years, Kanye West has made endless healdines. He's gotten divorced from Kim Kardashian and run for President of the United States,. He's also had his reputation ruined over countless antisemitic antics.
