It looks like a Kanye West documentary and podcast will be in the works at BBC.
Deadline initially reported the news, saying that the rap mogul would be the subject of an investigative documentary exploring his rise and eventual fall as a rapper, artist, and businessman.
Kanye West Documentary
The Kanye West documentary will be titled "We Need to Talk About Kanye." BAFTA-award-winning investigative journalist Mobeen Azhar will be leading the show, the same person behind the "The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship in 2021" documentary, which was also released on BBC.
According to the publication, the premise of the Kanye West documentary series will also take on Kanye West's 2024 US presidential campaign and his recent antisemitic outrage in the media.
Azhar will reportedly follow Kanye West's trajectory from a creative genius to one of the most hated men on social media.
Kanye West Podcast
A Kanye West podcast will also be in the works, adjacent to the Kanye West documentary. Deadline reports that the Kanye West podcast will be titled "The Kanye Story."
This is not the first time BBC has released such an investigative podcast series like the upcoming Kanye West podcast; they had a Shamima Begum podcast that probed the teenager's tracks as she went to Syria to join ISIS.
However, as of this writing, both the Kanye West documentary and the Kanye West podcasts have no release date yet. Deadline, however, said that the Kanye West documentary "We Need To Talk About Kanye" will air on BBC Two and will be produced by Forest and distributed by Abacus Media Rights.
Infamously, Kanye West ruled the headlines as he had his antisemitic outburst on social media following his vocal support of destabilizing the Black Lives Matter movement.
He also went on to team up with renowned right-wing conservative, Candace Owens, in her continuous tirades. His love for dictator Adolf Hitler was also unearthed after his botched deal with Adidas left his Yeezy employees at large.
Forbes also removed Kanye West from the Billionaires List when his net Worth plummeted to $400 million after Adidas and other renowned brands severed their ties with him.
West has been enjoying quite the lowkey life right now after his rumored marriage with Bianca Censori.
