dailymail.co.uk:

Kanye West is taking on the subject of whether there are limits to free speech, which comes in the wake of his anti-Semitic remarks over the past few weeks.While appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, West insisted 'there are no limits for free speech', after the host prefaced the question by stating he felt there's currently a 'war' on the first-amendment guarantee.In making his case, West accused Quentin Tarantino of stealing an idea he pitched to the renowned writer/director, as well as Jamie Foxx, for his Gold Digger music video and using it as the plot for his 2012 film Django Unchained.

Major claim: Kanye West accused Quentin Tarantino is stealing the original idea he had for his Gold Digger music video and using it for his slavery-themed Western film Django UnchainedWest's alleged pitch to Tarantino and Foxx would have had to happened before June 2005, which is when the rapper released the Gold Digger video that featured Foxx, West and a handful of pinup models posing for fictitious magazine covers.

Django Unchained began shooting in November 2011, and centers about a freed slave Django Freeman (Jamie Foxx) who works with a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to rescue his wife (Kerry Washington) from a plantation. 'There are no limits for free speech.

It's all context, right?' the Praise God star, 45, asserted to Morgan when asked if he believes there are limits to free speech.'Tarantino can write a movie about slavery where actually him and Jamie [Foxx] 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,' he claimed.
