The documentary explores his rise in the music industry and his recent legal issues.
The documentary has received positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an 83% score from critics and an 88% approval rating from audiences. In comparison, Stranger Things season 5 has an 84% score from critics and an 83% from audiences.
