D’Angelo, one of the most acclaimed artists of the past decades, has sadly passed away at the age of 51. For fans who want to learn more about him or simply want to immerse themselves in his legacy, there is an excellent documentary on the musician, titled D’Angelo: Devil’s Pie. But the movie is scarcely available, and there is only one way to watch it at the moment.
Here’s how you can watch D’Angelo: Devil’s Pie documentary
Michael Eugene Archer, better known as D’Angelo, shook the world with his music, earning fame and acclaim in the process. Widely regarded as one of the greatest R&B musicians of all time, his legacy is timeless and monumental.
D’Angelo: Devil’s Pie, a documentary by Carine Bijlsma, is an acclaimed piece of work that covers the story of D’Angelo’s return to the limelight after 14 years of staying away from it. The documentary received widespread acclaim and was also nominated for the Golden Calf for Best Long Documentary.
But despite the fanfare around it, there are not many ways to watch the film. It was uploaded by one user to YouTube in the wake of the singer’s death, but it has since been deleted. It is also not legally available for rent or purchase.
As of this moment, the only way to watch it is unofficially, i.e., through the Bilibili platform (via Dexerto). Though this video-sharing platform is completely legal, movies and shows on the platform may violate their respective copyrights. This also means that the film may not be on the platform for long.
There have been calls to release the documentary, at least for rent or purchase. The calls have intensified since the news of D’Angelo’s death made it to the headlines.
D’Angelo died from pancreatic cancer in New York City on the morning of October 14, 2025. He was 51 years old at the time. He had been hospitalized for months before this happened.
