Kanye West is asserting that he birthed the idea for filmmaker Quentin Tarantino s 2012 movie Django Unchained.

During an interview Friday with broadcaster Piers Morgan, the rapper, who is legally known as Ye, said that he had originally shared the premise for the slavery-themed blockbuster as the concept for a music video.

The idea for Django I pitched to [actor] Jamie Foxx and Quentin Tarantino as the video for Gold Digger , the rapper said, referring to his hit 2005 song. And then Tarantino turned it into a film.
