prometheus-operator: Grafana error using persisten storage

kubernetes 1.10.3 with granafa 5.2.1 in AKS on a clean kube-prometheus install

 GF_PATHS_DATA='/var/lib/grafana' is not writable.
You may have issues with file permissions, more information here: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/docker/#migration-from-a-previous-version-of-the-docker-container-to-5-1-or-later
mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/lib/grafana/plugins': Permission denied

My config:

grafana:
  image:
    tag: 5.2.1

  storageSpec:
    class: default
    accessMode: "ReadWriteOnce"
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: 2Gi

I guess related to url in error msg: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/docker/#user-id-changes

rel: #966 #541

Im currently experiencing this GF_PATHS_DATA=‘/var/lib/grafana’ is not writable in kubernetes. I already added the 472 permission but still get the error. Here is my yaml file

kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: grafana-ewan
  namespace: grafana
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: grafana

        # command: ['sh', '-c', 'chown -R 472:472 /var/lib/grafana']
