Kanye is an amazing artist — he can paint, build, design, a jack of all trades. The only downfall is his state of mind has to be drunk or drugged up or else he feels everything is shit. He hates relying on drugs but can't find a reason to stop yet.
One night at one of his showings, a close friend, Lucile, pops up as a surprise showing support. They talk, drink, smoke, and end up sleeping together.
Next morning he wakes up unbothered — not his first time at the rodeo. He takes her to breakfast, snorting a line of coke first to start his day. She mentions the line he did and he offers her a hit; she politely declines, suggesting coffee over coke instead, which turns him off a bit. They part ways, promising to keep in touch.
Fast-forward, Lucile goes on a date with Russell, someone she's been seeing for a bit. The date ends early — she feels sick. It doesn't pass by the next week either.
She's pregnant.
Indecisive about whether to tell Kanye, she finally does. High as a kite, he thinks it's a joke at first, then lashes out — he's not having a kid, he doesn't want to be part of that. She cries, goes home. She tells Russell instead, who takes it in stride and says he'll be in the kid's life.
Then Kanye decides he wants to be in the kid's life after all. He approaches Lucile to apologize; she's unsure but agrees to give him a shot — they're not together, she has Russell, he'll just be the kid's dad. She suggests Russell help him find a job at MP Enterprises — Russell has connections there. Kanye refuses at first, wanting to do it on his own.
Struggling to find work, he falls back into getting high. Lucile checks on him, finds him doped up, and leaves without much of a fight — she knows she'll be fine without him. Kanye blows up her phone trying to reconnect; Russell answers the door instead. Kanye asks Russell for help. Russell agrees to try to change Lucile's mind, on the condition Kanye cuts the shit.
Russell gets him the interview. Kanye doesn't love the formal structure but pushes through and gets the job. He calms down on the drugs — just weed and a little drinking nightly. There's tension between him and Russell over Lucile, but he keeps himself in check.
One week, swamped at work, Kanye ends the night getting hammered to relieve stress. That's the night baby Ye's about to be born. Russell blows up his phone; Kanye doesn't answer for a while, then finally gets the news and heads to the hospital, reeking of alcohol. Russell tries to keep him out of the room — some words are exchanged, but Russell gives in.
Kanye walks in right before the baby is pushed out. A magical moment, followed by the ultimate letdown — Lucile suddenly has unexpected internal bleeding. Doctors push Kanye out of the way trying to save her, but lose her during the process.
Stunned and heartbroken, Kanye doesn't know how to tell Russell — he just breaks down in his arms. He goes to the nursery and stares at his newborn son. Russell joins him there.
Fast-forward, Kanye cleans up his act and grinds to raise his kid right. The transition sucks — free from a scheduled lifestyle but trapped with drugs, then free from drugs but trapped in a 9-to-5, unable to express himself the way he used to. But it's all for the best for baby Ye', who Kanye raises to avoid the path of drugs and mayhem he went down himself.
Oh — forgot to mention his dealer is our boy from Wolves. Yeezy? Yeah, his dealer's name is Yeezy.
