Fact Check: Is Kanye West Really Producing a Netflix Documentary About Jay-Z and Beyoncé?

Published 02/02/2026, 7:12 PM EST

Ye has never lived quietly, only loudly, emotionally, and in public. Triumph and self-destruction chase each other through his career like rivals trading blows. Grief rewired his sound, fame amplified his impulses, and every misstep somehow became myth.

He disappears, reemerges, provokes, then retreats again, leaving questions hanging in the air. Nothing with him ever truly ends; it only pauses. And now a rumour swirls that he has an upcoming documentary on Netflix with Jay-Z and Beyoncé at the helm.

Is Kanye West really set to unite with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, or is this another myth built from whispers, timing, and nostalgia?

Is a Kanye West, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z documentary on the way?

An account on X, @HoopsCrave, sparked chaos by claiming Kanye West was producing a Netflix documentary centered on Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The idea spread fast, mostly because it sounded believable.

The confusion likely traces back to jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, Netflix’s deeply personal series about Ye’s own rise, which featured archival moments and fleeting appearances from Jay-Z and Beyoncé. That project was about Ye, his journey, and his mythmaking, not a documentary he produced about them.

More recently, Ye appeared in In Whose Name?, a 2025 documentary that examines his life during a period marked by controversy and personal struggle. The project stands apart from Netflix and does not involve Jay-Z or Beyoncé as central subjects.

Taken together, these details help explain how confusion took root online. As of now, there is no verified documentary bringing Ye together with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, leaving the claim firmly in rumour territory. In fact, Ye recently left Beyoncé and Jay-Z out of a public apology, quietly undercutting the reunion rumours.

In a moment meant to signal reflection, the rapper addressed entire communities yet skipped Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and their children, a silence that spoke louder than any carefully chosen words.

Kanye West apologized broadly, but skipped Beyoncé and Jay-Z

In April 2025, Kanye West ignited a firestorm across X when he targeted Beyoncé and Jay-Z's youngest twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, with disparaging remarks. The rapper questioned why the children had not been in the public eye like their older sister, Blue Ivy Carter, according to reports from The Blast.

The posts were widely criticised, sparking debates about privacy, celebrity boundaries, and Ye’s tendency to push personal grievances into the public spotlight.

In the now-deleted post, Ye aired long-standing grievances toward Jay-Z, complaining about missed invitations, perceived slights, and moments where he felt overshadowed in public and personal arenas. He expressed frustration that both Jay-Z and Beyoncé could have used their influence to give him more leverage with his children, feeling ignored in critical moments.

While his documentary exists on Netflix, chronicling his rise and controversies, there is no verified information about a project that involves him alongside Jay-Z and Beyoncé in any central capacity.
