Kanye West is giving a final warning to Netflix and the creators of the upcoming highly-anticipated documentary, jeen-yuhs. The upcoming documentary trilogy is set to explore the last two decades of Ye’s career and life, but the legendary artist wants more of a say in how he is portrayed in the film.

Taking to Instagram, Ye shared a final warning to the producers of the doc, demanding that he has the final edit before it goes live.

“I’m going to say this kindly for the last time. I must get final edit and approval on this doc before it releases on Netflix. Open the edit room immediately so I can be in charge of my own image. Thank you in advance,” wrote Ye, signing off with a smiley-face emoji.
