jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy - released February 16th
Despite it not even being released yet, this documentary about the life of Kanye West has already been criticised by... Kanye, of course.
This three-part look at Mr West’s life features all aspects of his life, from musician, artist, businessman, record producer, fashion designer and failed presidential candidate, but Ye isn’t happy.
