“Quentin Tarantino has spoken up about Kanye ‘Ye’ West’s claims that he stole the idea for Django Unchained.

“Speaking on the Jimmy Kimmel Live talk show, Tarantino revealed he had the idea for the movie “for a while” before meeting West, explaining that the idea he may be referring to was for a different project.

“In an interview with Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which has since been shared on Twitter, filmmaker Tarantino has refuted claims by West that the latter came up with the idea for Django Unchained.
