A
Kanye West documentary that has been 21 years in the making has reportedly been sold to Netflix for $30 million.
Billboard reports that the yet-to-be-titled documentary comes from Clarence Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah (also known as Coodie and Chike), who also co-directed West s Through The Wire music video in 2003. The documentary is said to feature never-before-seen footage of Kanye from over the last 21 years, and according
Billboard, Simmons has footage he has filmed of Kanye from the rapper s native Chicago from the late 90s.
The documentary from Coodie and Chike, which is expected to hit Netflix later this year in multiple parts, will cover some of the biggest moments throughout Kanye s career, including the start of his career, his mother Donda West s death, as well as his run for President of the United States during the recent 2020 election.

Exclusive – CyHi The Prynce has long been affiliated with Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music label, although he was never officially signed to the imprint. So it came as somewhat as a surprise when CyHi released a song in 2015 called “Elephant In The Room” in which he shoots up the Def Jam Recordings offices, kidnaps Kanye and throws him in the truck of his car while dissing anyone who got in his way.
Using a sample from Cage The Elephant’s “Shake Me Down,” the song was uploaded to SoundCloud with a G.O.O.D. Music logo for the cover art, making it look especially disrespectful.
