Kanye West alleges that he birthed the idea for Quentin Tarantino’s hit film Django Unchained.after threatening to go ‘Defcon 3 on Jewish people’.But it looks like West’s bold claims are showing no sign of slowing down as in a recent interview on‘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,’ West told the presenter.
Django Unchained follows a freed slave working with a bounty hunter to rescue his wife from a plantation.Elsewhere in the interview, West talked about how free speech exists with context, referencing the film’s slave master using racial slurs in the film and not being deemed a racist. ‘But in that film, he puts a context,’ he said. ‘He creates a context where Leonardo DiCaprio is allowed to use the [N-word] multi- multiple times, within that context.’
Earlier this month, West sparked outrage when he made an appearance on the US podcast Drink Champs and claimed Mr Floyd was killed by a fentanyl overdose, in contrast to a medical examiner’s evidence. Mr Floyd, a black man, died in 2020 after police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nine minutes in Minneapolis, Minnesota – footage of which was shared around the world online.
