Kanye West BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Within the last few days, Kanye West has been an undeniable lightning rod for headlines, spectacle, and controversy—a mix of artistry, eccentricity, and ongoing drama that only he can conjure. Arguably the biggest recent development is the upcoming release of the documentary "In Whose Name?" which promises an intimate, unfiltered look at West’s life. Directed by Nico Ballesteros, the film draws on six years of never-before-seen footage: Ye off his meds, holding a "Ye4President" poster, Kim Kardashian audibly distressed over changes in his personality, and Kanye himself claiming he’s "almost a masochist" and that being a bipolar artist means "everything is art." The documentary touches on fame, faith, mental health, and family turmoil and is set for theatrical release on September 19. Kim Kardashian features prominently, applauding Kanye’s brilliance but also sounding the alarm about the shifting landscape of his identity. The trailer alone has dominated entertainment news with sites like The Independent and HipHopDX calling the portrait raw and revelatory.

On the business front, West quietly restarted the Yeezy online shop after a months-long hiatus caused by Shopify’s suspension. The new collection—slippers and sneakers alongside hoodies and underwear—are selling for just $20 each, all in stark monochrome. He has so far abstained from commenting publicly on this relaunch, and his absence from social media continues, except for occasional ridicule from rivals like 50 Cent who recently mocked Kanye and wife Bianca Censori’s streetwear choices on Instagram.

The real estate saga hit new heights after West sold his Malibu mansion at a jaw-dropping $36 million loss. Originally bought for $57 million and then renovated (or eviscerated) into a windowless concrete shell, the house was ultimately sold to developer Steven “Bo” Belmont for $21 million, who now faces his own developer drama and restoration risk, as reported in Work+Money, Realtor.com, and others. Concurrently, Kanye dropped $35 million on a new Beverly Hills mega-mansion, a 20,000 square foot estate once owned by a Saudi billionaire as highlighted by luxury real estate insiders on Instagram.

Public appearances remain rare but never dull. Days ago, Kanye electrified 50,000 fans at South Korea’s Incheon Munhak Stadium, where Instagram videos show him in peak form: bold staging, wild crowd energy, and unmistakable star power.

The Grammy Awards earlier this month saw West and Bianca Censori causing a stir on the red carpet with her sheer outfit, only to leave before the ceremony, reportedly on their own accord. Sources like People stress they were not ejected, quelling social media speculation. Kanye’s song "Carnival" from the Vultures 1 album was nominated, but he lost out to Kendrick Lamar.

Finally, West teases new music. His album "Bully," first hinted via a Hype Williams short film, is slated for September 26 but, as always, could slip. Industry watchers remain divided: is this the dawn of a creative renaissance or another chapter in Kanye’s long history of brilliance and controversy? For now, the saga continues—each headline another verse in the never-ending story of Kanye West.
