When it was confirmed last year that Ezra Edelman’s long-awaited Prince documentary for Netflix had been shelved – Prince’s estate and its partners were reportedly unhappy at the way he had been portrayed in the finished cut – it all kind of kicked off.

A hugely frustrated Edelman vented on a podcast – “I am after some catharsis, if not closure, to move on” – and Londell McMillan of Prince Legacy LLC later hit back, saying, “You will not disrespect Prince on my watch.”
