LOS ANGELES: The director of Netflix's new Kanye West documentary was left disappointed — though not surprised — by the controversial rapper's last-minute demand to recut a movie decades in the making, he told AFP.

Clarence 'Coodie' Simmons started following his friend West with a camera in 2001, curious to see how far the ambitious young music producer from Chicago could go, and eventually amassed 320 hours of behind-the-scenes footage of his journey to international stardom.
