Kanye West’s bizarre deposition revealed in upcoming A&E doc

A&E’s upcoming documentary, Raw interrogation: celebrity under oath, previewed a bizarre court deposition from Kanye West.

Celebrity depositions are essential for enthusiasts of the internet and meme culture, providing some of the most viral moments of all time. Often these videos remain out of the public eye, while some surface online, making them each polarizing in a unique way.

Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber are a few examples of how a deposition can change the image fans perceive of their favorites and showcase an entirely different personality.

According to TMZKanye West is the latest to entertain with a deposition, thanks to an upcoming A&E documentary. In preview for Raw interrogation: celebrity under oath, Kanye West is seen giving a bizarre statement wearing a mask after refusing to look at the camera.

He is also seen on the phone and he claims that his “mental genius” gives him the right to be on the phone during court proceedings.

“Because of my mental ingenuity, to focus on this bullshit, I need to be on the phone,” West proclaimed. “I’m not going to tell you, you’ll never see me again,” he responded to questions about his cloth mask.

Kanye’s behavior is certainly interesting, but it’s not behavior people have ever seen or heard from him before. Later in his deposition, Ye delivers a ridiculous quote when a lawyer asks him what room he is in.

“Are you stupid?” » asked Kanye. “You’re talking to the richest black person in American history!” »

Compared to most viral depositions, Ye acted exactly as one would expect when faced with authority figures. The deposition was prompted by a lawsuit alleging Ye stole technology for Yeezy and its Sunday Service events. The video is a small part of the A&E documentary which will be released on December 26 at 9 p.m. CST.
