The Trouble with KanYe
Award-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar investigates music鈥檚 most troubling story. How did Kanye West go from one of America鈥檚 most celebrated artists to a megaphone for hate and division?
In October 2022, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, drew widespread condemnation after wearing a White Lives Matter T-shirt at his Paris Fashion Show. That controversy was swiftly followed up with a series of antisemitic statements on social media. With his dangerous statements making global headlines, Ye doubled down by sharing dangerous and inflammatory mistruths during a series of interviews. In the face of backlash, Ye told the paparazzi that he was planning to run for president of the United States in 2024.
Unfolding against the backdrop of Ye鈥檚 recent behaviour and his rumoured 2024 presidential campaign, this documentary sees award-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar travel to the United States to try and discover how one of America鈥檚 most celebrated artists became a megaphone for hate and division.
