Here's Why Kanye West Didn't Get Final Approval on His Netflix Documentary

Kanye West is the subject of a brand new Netflix docu-series, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.

Several weeks ago, after the trailer dropped, Kanye sent out a message on Instagram demanding final approval of the film.

Now, the people behind the doc, Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah, are explaining why they did not grant Kanye‘s request.

“Our company is called Creative Control, so that tells you a lot right then and there,” Chike told ET. “Input is always welcome. We’ll use that input and take the best from it as it aligns with the film and objective goal of the film we’re trying to make. But as far as Creative Control, Coodie can speak more to his conversations he’s had in person with Kanye about that.”

Coodie said he was “disappointed” in Kanye‘s request, but said he “understood that that’s Kanye.”

“I said to myself, ‘Trust God.’ God led you up to this point. You got to continue to trust God and that was it,” he added. “And I know God’s gonna work it out because this film is very important for everybody who has a dream, for everybody after us.”

The docu-series is now streaming on Netflix.
