Wayno has revealed that the Coodie & Chike-directed jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy documentary, may have stretched the truth — a little bit.
During a recent conversation with the Homegrown Radio, the former Roc-A-Fella Records A&R claimed the Kanye West project is misleading — pointing to one scene in particular which shows Ye playing a version of “All Falls Down” to various disinterested individuals at the Roc-A-Fella offices.

“It was not like that bro, because first of all, when I came around — I’m talking about being really, really, inside of Roc-A-Falla [2002] — Kanye was already producing. When I had met him, he had just got a tattoo of all the songs he produced on his arm,” he began, touching on the films inaccuracies.
“I walked up to him like ‘Yo you Kanye?’ and he like ‘Yeah, I rap too,’ — he rapped for me. And, he just rapped for like eight minutes. He would do the same routine for everyone he met.”
“The video that they show of him coming to the office and doing that, that wasn’t the first time he did that,” he added. “In 2002, walking into somewhere with a camera is like a big thing.”
“Now, Chaka Pilgrim was the head of marketing at Roc-A-Fella — to this day she still work with Jay, Beyoncé, all of them. He bust in her office with all the cameras out. He ain’t tell nobody he about to do this or nothing. Bro, mind you it’s not the first time we heard ‘All Falls Down.’ We been heard ‘All Falls Down.’ He walks out like ‘yeah they ain’t feeling me,'” he added. “That’s not real.”

Wayne “Wayno” Clark’s comments mirror those he previously shared following the release of the Netflix title. “Lmao the context behind this is he played this song in the office and did this with a camera crew like 10x , how many times can you have a crazy reaction to something you’ve heard 10x it was kind of annoying at that point,” the Triangle Offense founder, who went on to join Quality Control as VP of A&R, tweeted at the time.
The three-part documentary, which chronicles the Chicago native’s grind from producer to rap deity, was released in early January 2022, on Netflix.
