Kanye West made a surprise appearance at the premiere of jeen-yuhs, the new Netflix documentary about him, last night (February 11).The film, the first part of which will arrive on the streaming service on Wednesday (February 16), was directed by Coodie and Chike and made over 20 years.The premiere was held at Citizen News in Hollywood yesterday and was attended by numerous celebrities including Migos’ Offset, Usher, Roddy Ricch, and Taraji P.
Henson.According to Variety, West arrived 15 minutes after the screening had started and was given a chair in the front corner of the room.
Afterwards, he joined the co-directors on stage, hugging them.“When you have people next to you that believe in you and a community that sticks together, that’s the way that we can protect each other,” the rapper said, addressing the crowd. “Hollywood a lot of times – like I got my man DaBaby right here – people try to cancel us and we all run away from each other and scatter or we be not talking to each other, not communicating.”He continued by using late NBA star Kobe Bryant using a homophobic slur during an LA Lakers game in 2011 to illustrate his point. “When Kobe died, there’s people that brought up his mistake, but I always felt that that was a setup, that was something to diminish the man because he never learned how to be a slave,” he said.“This man spoke Italian.
