Kanye West is trending online after footage of his heated deposition was leaked online.
The footage was from an upcoming A&E documentary, Interrogation Raw: Celebrity Under Oath.
The sit-down took place back in 2020 and stemmed from a lawsuit against his Sunday Service and Yeezy e-commerce websites. The lawsuit accused the rapper of misappropriating AI technology.
Yeezy was asked by the attorney to put down his phone, which he was using throughout the interrogation. Ye ignores him.

“Due to my mental genius-ness, in order to focus on this bullsh*t, I need to be on a phone,” he says.
Ye eventually puts down his phone but then pulls out a face mask and put it on. When he is asked why he was sporting the mask, Ye simply answered that he doesn’t “have the right” to see his face.
At one point, Ye flips and yells, “Are you stupid?! I’m not going to tell you all the things… You are talking to the richest Black person in the history of America!”
