Kanye West has shared a surprise 30-minute documentary called LAST WEEK, giving fans a glimpse into his busy schedule and recent drama over the last month.
Uploaded to YouTube on Monday (October 10), the short film was shot by Ye’s videographer Nico Ballesteros and follows the Chicago rap icon as he takes meetings for his various creative ventures, spends time with his children and plays unreleased music.
During one car journey, Kanye plays a never-before-heard track on which he name-drops Drake, Future, Lil Baby and Moneybagg Yo.
“You a fake bitch / You don’t really love Ye, go listen to Drake, bitch / You don’t have no idea what it take, bitch / Go listen to Lil Baby, go listen to Future, bitch,” he raps.
“Tryna get away, feeling like a fugitive / Uncle Snoop voice, baby I don’t love hoes / You ain’t love Ye, you love Moneybagg Yo / I done signed away some of what he bad for / What he mad for? You a fake bitch.”
Kanye also plays new versions of “First Time in a Long Time” and “Sci-Fi,” which originally appeared on Donda 2. The album was released exclusively via his $200 stem player in February, but has yet to be made available on streaming services.
Another scene in LAST WEEK documents a tense and somewhat bizarre meeting between Kanye West and two adidas executives — including chief creative officer Alasdhair Willis — the day after he terminated his partnership with Gap.
At one point, Kanye plays a porn video on his phone and holds it up to one of the adidas executives, saying: “He’s got the same voice doesn’t he?” The executive grows uncomfortable and tells Kanye: “Come on, man” while moving the phone away from his face.
Later during the meeting, Kanye confronts the executives over adidas allegedly stealing his designs and demands one of his associates be made CEO of the company. He also refers to himself as the “king of culture” and names Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem as part of his “army” before storming out of the meeting.
“Our army is so prepared,” Ye says. “This is a different level of nuclear activity that no one will recover from. The guy from [redacted] could not sell enough companies to cure this level of global warming that you’re going to experience.
“adidas has to come and be like [scribbles on a notepad] and then say, ‘Ye, what do you want?’ I’m not talking to you guys. I’m not arguing about money with people broker than me. I’m not arguing about ideas with people with lesser ideas than me.”
Elsewhere, Kanye West scopes out a potential location for his Donda University campus (which will double up as headquarters for his Donda company) and asks one of his associates how he can “grow in [his] kindness.”
Kanye West: 'Pornography Destroyed My Family'
He tells another confidante over the phone: “I’m literally in a place where I believe that my product and relevancy and all these things can work without me having to be the center of the news.”
LAST WEEK ends with Ye attending his daughter North’s basketball game alongside his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and their son Saint, before cutting a lonely figure as he leaves the game by himself.
The documentary, which was initially removed from YouTube after just a few hours, can be viewed in full below:
LAST WEEK comes on the heels of Kanye West’s Instagram and Twitter accounts being locked over allegedly anti-Semitic posts amid the backlash to his “White Lives Matter” shirt.
In a text conversation with Diddy shared on Instagram last Friday (October 7), the Yeezy billionaire vowed to use his public spat with the Bad Boy boss to “show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”
He later tweeted: “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE[.] The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also[.] You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
People got so used to fake artists with nothing to say. Now when Ye actually dares to challenge the way we see things in society, people are going nuts. This is what an artist is supposed to do. The T-shirts and tweets are just to get you to look like his way
Shut up dummy.
Probably one of the dumbest comments I’ve seen on this site. I guess I’ll just assume you’re trolling and move on.
Told you long ago this dude is a CON. How you preaching Jesus and you got that porn? The guy’s sick.
dude knows male po rno actors voices so well hahahahaha um this aint very christian. hypocrite much? mane its a lot of folks who take this clown serious though
He really needs to be cancelled. He craves attention so much. He really wants to be the center all the time. Who is he kidding with folks that have lesser ideas than him?! Crazy much. Tired of all his antics.
How is this lunatic not in a sanitarium. Hes eventually going to lose everybody who was ever on his side.
Every other hip hop news article is about Kanye. How can one person crave attention so much? He does crazy things because he knows that hip hop news media, blogs and podcasts will talk about him. Someone get a straight jacket ready for him, please. Too much fame will mess you up.
Music has been trash. Corny beefs with Vogue editors and fashion industry. Always seeking attention and lashing out with bi-polar episodes. Sorry but it’s about 15 years since he had a hit and his beats are nothing special, nobody ever includes him in top producer category. The only reason he is constantly in the news is because he learned how to manipulate the media from the Kardashians.
And his only way of staying relevant is through these crazy antics of his.
Adidas doesn’t need kanye kanye needs adidas review the deal if he ain’t happy close the door. Get another on the come up.
Im not a Kanye fan but how does Ye need Adidas?
He needs Adidas like he needed Nike. Lol
To further his name his music
This is who many people like the racist trolls here like to defend. One who clearly lost his sanity and makes himself look bad nearly every time.
Imagine how much of a corny nerd you have to be to be a Ye fan in 2022.
So true, a desperate fan. He’s crazy antics will only get more extreme beyond this point. Hahaha
This dude just might have a compromising video of the owner of adidas …. Don’t let that go over your head . Not everything is an antic , there’s a lot of fluff and nonsense I know . But he’s exposing the highest level of society we will never have another chance to see
He’s not you got damn try hard fake deep weirdo lol.
How and why on earth would he have a compromising video of the owner of Adidas? Haha. Who’s he exposing? Hes just going off on mad rants. The fashion world is not interested in Kanye and he cannot deal with it. End of. Music is where his talents lie and end.
“The fashion world is not interested in Kanye” his networth strongly disagrees with you. You one of those stupid people that cant wrap your head around things you cannot see. This guy has meetings with the most powerful people in the world presidents and billionaires, ihate him all you want he is still on of the most influential people on earth and you say dumb shit like ” how and why would he have a compromising video on a powerful ceo” He plays the video and says i want nothing to do with this company until you fire this guy? Wake the fuck up fool
You typed, “ihate him all you want he is on of the most influential people on earth” and THEN you misquote me? I’m the fool? Just read your posts once over before sending them out idiot. Sorry yeah, he can sell a few sneakers (off the back of his success as a musician, where he is very successful) but nobody in the industry takes this guy seriously. Also, prick, I’m not sure that powerful CEO’s just have compromising videos lying around for people to pick up. Have you? I certainly haven’t.
“Lying around for people to pick up” is quite the simplification. You probably one of the goofs that got scammed by a Soros funded politically controlled BLM movement and then got triggered by a t-shirt . You the sheep.
Uh, no, none of these things, you’re just making the mad, unfounded assumptions about me like you’re making about this article. And yes “Lying around for people to pick up” is of course a simplification, I was just dumbing it down for you ya big goof.
*the same mad, same unfounded assumptions…
