Shocking scenes from Kanye West's new documentary show him shouting at his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, and leaving her in tears.
The doc, In Whose Name?, was released in cinemas across the US today, and includes never-before-seen moments of the controversial rapper.
Director Nico Ballesteros, who was a teenager at the time, began filming back in 2018 and has sifted through more than 3,000 hours of footage to pull the film together.
The rapper has consistently been at the centre of controversy over the last few years, including a wild 'naked' stunt with wife Bianca Censori at the Grammys earlier this year, and being dropped by his talent agency and numerous brands due to his antisemitic rants on social media.

With clips spanning six years, the one-hour and 46-minute-long film reportedly offers an unfiltered look at the musician's life.
And of course, one of the big life events that occurred during this time period was West's split from Kim Kardashian.
The former couple tied the knot in 2014 and together, they share four children: North, 12, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and six-year-old Psalm.
Kim filed for divorce in February 2021 amid strains in their relationship, and their legal split was finalised in November 2022.
Although the documentary is currently unavailable in the UK, clips have been cropping up on social media after its US premiere - and one in particular has left people shocked.
It shows a heated argument between West and his mother-in-law at the time about his stance on medication and his mental health.
West said: "Y’all demasculated me and made me feel like a piece of s**t. And the only reason you got away with it is because I was medicated. I would rather be dead than to be on medication."
He later said: "No one from this family has taken any responsibility for my hospital visit, but if you wanna go online, that's 50% of what people are saying at least. Am I lying?"
The rapper then began angrily screaming 'it doesn't matter' at Kris, who tearfully responded: "It matters to us. It matters to us, and you. It doesn’t matter what the internet says. It matters what we think, Ye."
"So what do you think? Did you have an effect on my mental health?," he hit back with.
And the 69-year-old reality star emotionally replied: "Yes, I'm saying yes. And I love you. I don’t want you to be not perfect. I love you. And I want my daughter to love you the way you want her to love you."
It comes after another clip was revealed in August, showing West exploding at a crying Kim after revealing he had 'stopped taking his meds'.
In a teaser for the documentary, the 44-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star said: "Your personality was not like this a few years ago."
Her statement came after West admitted that he stopped taking his medication for his bipolar disorder, telling her: "I'm off my meds for five months now."
Another scene from the doc shows Kim trying to calm down a visibly angry West after he hits out: "Never tell me I’m gonna wake up one day and have nothing!”
"We can talk about that later, but," Kim then tries to respond before the rapper loudly interjects: "It ain’t no but!"
