Kanye West urges fans to 'never give up on dreams' as his new life doc airs

Kanye West has been hitting the headlines this week after continuous rants towards estranged wife Kim Kardashian's new beau Pete Davidson.

But, after deleting all his Instagram outbursts and following the comedian's new Instagram page, he has admitted his actions looked as though he was "harassing Kim", and revealed he is taking accountability of his actions.

And now, in a new clip on his newly post-free Insta account, the Gold Digger rapper, 44, has told fans "never to give up on your dreams" as the first part of a new documentary about his life aired on Netflix.

Film-maker Clarence "Coodie" Simmons took to the helm for the three-part series which has been titled Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.

The first 90-minute episode, titled act i: VISION, was released on February 16 and the second instalment is due a week later on February 23.

Kanye has thanked Coodie for his part in the production and praised his artistic vision.



He said: "I would have been embarrassed by those tapes if you all had seen them a year after it happened... it all makes sense now."

And in a post in which he shared old video footage which was used in the doc, Kanye wrote on Instagram: "Never give up on your dreams and follow your Jeen-Yuhs! Praise GOD!"

Jeen-Yuhs draws on reels of intimate footage dating back two decades, showing the rapper's evolution from an unknown artist into one of the world's biggest music stars, as well as a fashion designer and businessman.

He had previously publicly demanded he was given "final edit and approval" on the documentary so he can be "in charge of my own image".

Ahead of its release Coodie told the PA news agency he prays for the rapper "every day" and believes God has a purpose for him "bigger than what we can even imagine right now".

The rapper, who has legally changed his name to Ye, has split up with his wife, Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from him last year, and is said to be working on a follow-up to his album Donda.

He has been very vocal in his bid to win back the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star following his whirlwind romance with Julia Fox.

However, the mother of his four kids is seemingly going from strength to strength with her new beau, who is reported to have "won over" her family.

For Valentine's Day Pete even sent her sister Khloe Kardashian a bunch of flowers in a bid to cheer her up following her heartache over ex Tristan Thompson.

Khloe shared a snap of the pink bunch to her Instagram Stories and thanked the Saturday Night Live star, calling him "the sweetest".
