Cynthia Love was featured in Kanye West's iconic music video for "Through The Wire," which has since become a rap classic. While the recently released jeen-yuhs documentary was a welcomed walk down memory lane for fans of the Chicago rapper, it unfortunately revisited a dark time in Love's life. Love, who is now 18 years sober, was in an "altered state and not capable of providing consent" when the video was filmed. As a result, she's now filing a lawsuit against Netflix and jeen-yuhs creators Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah for reportedly profiting off her image without her consent.
Love says that the documentary has revealed her past struggles to people unaware of her past, and that Simmons responded to her son's inquiry about featuring her in the film by saying he assumed she was dead. Despite its unfortunate circumstances, the release of the jeen-yuhs documentary is a reminder of West's iconic debut album, The College Dropout, which has sold four million copies worldwide and earned the rapper the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2004.
