He ran as an independent to the presidency of the United States. He played the role of rapper, record producer, songwriter, director, and stylist in his life. Summarizing Kanye West ‘s life in a few lines would be impossible. And so Netflix has decided to make us a documentary that should arrive by the end of 2021.
As reported by the Billboard site, the American streaming platform would have invested 30 million dollars for the project, still orphaned of a title. It will include previously unreleased videos and footage from the singer’s last 21 years of life and will be signed by Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah. The duo of directors and producers also directed the West music videos “Jesus Walks” and “Through the Wire”.
It is unknown if the story surrounding West’s divorce from Kim Kardashian West will be included in the documentary. It is known that it will be divided into two parts that give the high amount of content. From the start of his musical career, up to the presidential race, to the death of his mother, Donda West, to whom the rapper had dedicated a song in 2020.
Despite the tensions surrounding the divorce, the Atlanta-born rapper has racked up several professional successes in recent months. In the musical field, his latest album, Jesus Is King, was awarded during the Grammys’ last edition as Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. For the singer this is the 22nd Grammy.
And beyond music, fashion. In 2006 the first deal with Adidas for a sneaker model. In 2009 again with the German company for the first Yeezy collection, followed by a new launch in 2012. A success, so much so that in 2013 Kanye West signed a contract worth 10 million dollars. According to Forbes, the brand recorded estimated sales of $ 1.7 billion in 2020. In June 2020, West entered into a partnership with retailer Gap for a Yeezy-branded clothing line.
