Overview

• In Whose Name? is now in select theaters, built from roughly 3,000 hours of footage captured over six years largely on iPhones by filmmaker Nico Ballesteros.
• An April 2018 scene shows Ye meeting with Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk to discuss image and politics, with Owens saying culture drives politics and calling Ye’s MAGA-hat moment internet-breaking.
• Ye says he aims to be “a non-perfect Black celeb that still wins,” while Kirk responds that otherwise he would look like “the help.”
• Interest in the scene has intensified following Kirk’s Sept. 10 shooting in Utah, and President Trump attended a memorial for him on Sunday.
• Authorities say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged in the killing, and Utah prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.
