A&E’s upcoming documentary “Interrogation Raw: Celebrity Under Oath” previews a bizarre Kanye West lawsuit deposition.
Celebrity depositions are essential viewing for internet enthusiasts and meme culture delivering some of the most viral moments ever. Often these videos stay away from the public eye whereas some surface online making each one polarizing in a unqiue way.
Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber are a few examples of how deposition can change the image fans perceive of their favorites and showcase an entirely different persona.
According to TMZ, Kanye West is the latest to entertain the deposition lure thanks to an upcoming A&E documentary. In a preview for “Interrogation Raw: Celebrity Under Oath” Kanye West is seen delivering a bizarre deposition where he placed a mask over his face. The mask came after he refused to look directly into the camera while he played on his phone.
West alleges his “mental geniusness” gives him the right to be on his phone during the legal proceeding.
“Due to my mental genuisness, in order to focus on this Bullsh*t, i need to be on a.. phone.” West proclaimed.”I’m not going to tell you, you’ll never see me again Are you stupid? You are talking to the richest Black person in the history of America.” he responded questions about his cloth mask.
Kanye’s behavior is certainly interesting but isn’t behavior people haven’t seen or heard from him before. Later as the deposition begins Ye delivers another signature Ye quote when asked about the room he was in.
“Are you stupid?” Ye questioned. “You are talking to the richest Black person in the history of America.” the rapper continued.
Compared to most viral depositions Ye acted exactly how we would expect when faced with authority figures. The deposition was caused by a lawsuit alleging Ye stole technology for Yeezy and his Sunday Service events. The video is a small part of the A&E documentary that will be released on December 26 at 9 p.m. CST.
