According to reports, Netflix has purchased the rights to a new Kanye West documentary film that is 21-years in the making. 

Directors Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah compiled archival footage spanning Ye's 20+ year career and will feature never-before-seen footage of Kanye from the '90s.

 

A multi-part documentary exploring the life of Kanye West has reportedly been sold to Netflix for $30m (approximately £22m). As first reported by Billboard, 

West partnered with a filmmaking duo and allowed them to chronicle the past 21 years of his life on camera.

It's reported that the film was sold to the streaming giant for $30 million.

Coodie and Chike have worked with Kanye for quite a while and directed some of his earlier videos, namely a version of "Jesus Walks" and they helped co-direct "Through the Wire." 

The title of the project has not been disclosed, but Billboard reports it will debut later this year.
