While on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ye made claimed that Quentin Tarantino “got the idea” for 2012 film Django Unchained from the Donda 2 rapper.
Kanye West is claiming that Quentin Tarantino “got the idea” for the 2012 slave epic Django Unchained from him. While visiting Piers Morgan Uncensored for a heated debate, the Donda 2 artist claimed that he originally pitched a film idea similar to Django Unchained to Tarantino.
Ye says that while brainstorming the idea for his 2005 music video “Gold Digger” – which featured Jamie Foxx — he came up with the original proposal for the visual which featured a similar premise to Django Unchained. Ultimately, the music video was directed by Ye’s frequent collaborator Hype Williams and featured the rapper-producer dancing with various pin-up models.
The notion that Tarantino lifted the idea from Ye is debatable, as the director considered Will Smith and the late Michael K. Williams for the lead role as Django Freeman. The role later went to Foxx, who received high praise for his portrayal of Django alongside Austrian-German actor Christoph Waltz as Dr. King Schultz.
“Tarantino can write a movie about slavery, where actually — him and Jamie — they got the idea from me, because the idea for ‘Django’ I pitched to Jamie Foxx and Quentin Tarantino as the video for “Gold Digger.” And then Tarantino turned it into a film,” the artist formerly known as Kanye West said in the interview.
The response was given after Morgan asked, “Do you believe there are limits to free speech, and if there are, what are they?” The Yeezy founder elaborated by saying that Django has an absence of limits to free speech, as racial slurs are used abundantly throughout the film.
