Director Quentin Tarantino on Thursday weighed in on a declare via Ye, the artist previously referred to as Kanye West, that the filmmaker stole the theory for the Academy Award-winning movie “Django Unchained” from him.
“There’s now not fact to the concept Kanye West got here up with the theory of ‘Django,‘” Tarantino advised past due night time host Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday. “He did have an concept for a video and I do assume it used to be for the ‘Gold Digger’ video. He could be a slave and the entire thing used to be the slave narrative, the place he’s a slave and he’s making a song ‘Gold Digger’ and it used to be very humorous. It used to be an excessively, very humorous concept.”
Tarantino mentioned he had the “Django Unchained” film concept “for some time, earlier than I even met Kanye.”
Ye sought after to do “an enormous film model” of his debut album “The Faculty Dropout” and was hoping to faucet “large administrators” to make movies for every tune, Tarantino mentioned. “That’s what he’s relating to,” he added.
