Quentin Tarantino Blasts Kanye West's Claim He STOLE Django Unchained From Him!

perezhilton.com:

We so wish this was the most controversial thing Kanye West had said over the past couple weeks… and as easily discredited.

Lost in the sea of antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and other vile things the rapper has spewed this month, he also claimed in there somewhere that Django Unchained was really his idea.

He told Piers Morgan in their wide-ranging interview that Quentin Tarantino had stolen the idea from him after he pitched it to star Jamie Foxx as the idea for his music video for 2005’s Gold Digger.

He claimed: This is just how Ye works. He calls himself a genius in all forms enough and eventually he believes it — and grows to believe he’s the author of everything he likes… in his own mind anyway.
