The documentary is tentatively titled, "We Need to Talk About Kanye."

Netflix has already given us the jeen-yuhs trilogy, but another documentary about Kanye West might be on the way. The next West wave will surely arrive soon, but for now, the rapper has been laying low. It was rumored that he wed Biaca Censori just months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized. Neith West or Censori have confirmed the news, but they were spotted this week with Russell Simmons enjoying Valentine's Day.

Meanwhile, Deadline reports the BBC is looking to work on a new documentary about the Donda star. Not only that, but an accompanying eight-part podcast is also being considered. The outlet stated the tentative title is We Need to Talk About Kanye, mirroring the controversial exposé, We Need to Talk About Cosby.

Deadline described the documentary: "Unfolding against the backdrop of West aka Ye’s 2024 U.S. election campaign, and at a time when his anti-Semitic rantings and behavior have sparked outrage and a re-evaluation of his place in popular culture, the one-off documentary follows Azhar as he attempts to understand the complex journey that led the singer to become one of the most famous and creatively successful artists of his generation."

The podcast will be titled The Kanye Story and will further dig deep into the controversial hitmaker. It has been assumed that West will not participate in the documentary or podcast. However, he is known to be a person full of surprises and may be willing to share his story. Still, there has not been confirmation that West will appear in either feature.

West's scandals have resulted in a massive financial fallout. Although he has made controversial remarks for years, after he aligned himself with Hitler, things took a dramatic turn. His longstanding partnership with Adidas ended, and several companies stated they would not work with West in the future. It is speculated that the rapper is preparing for the 2024 Presidential Election, but he has yet to make any official statements regarding his participation.
