Kanye West has his mind made up about which star he wants to play him in a movie.
The “Donda” rapper, who formally changed his name to Ye, took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal his thoughts on who he thinks would best portray him, should a movie ever be made based on his life.
“My choice is Jamie Foxx, one of the great geniuses,” he said he wrote in a since-deleted post about the Oscar winner.
The hitmaker also asked his 18 million followers who they wanted to see him play in a “Ye movie,” Page Six reported.
Ye and Foxx have linked up several times in the past for various projects, including Ye’s 2004 “College Dropout” single “Slow Jamz” and 2005’s “Late Registration” hit “Gold Digger.” In 2005, the rapper also guest-starred on Foxx’s hit “Extravaganza.”
In February, the two men reunited on Instagram Live, teasing fans that they would be sharing a new collaboration in the future.
“I told you, at the time, man, that [Kanye] he was young and he was hungry,” Foxx told viewers, speaking about his song “Slow Jamz.” “Now look at us. There’s a reason we ran into each other. I can’t wait for you all to see the next step.”
West recently ignited controversy for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt during his YZY SZN 9 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week on Monday.
The phrase is considered a hate speech by civil rights groups such as the Anti-Defamation League. The Southern Poverty Law Center notes that it was created as “a racist response to the Black Lives Matter civil rights movement.”
Ye reacted to the backlash against her decision to wear the slogan in a series of deleted Instagram posts on Tuesday morning.
In a post, He wrote: “Everyone knows Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it’s over. Welcome.”
In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Thursday, the Grammy winner defended her controversial fashion statement.
“I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy. It just feels good. It’s using an instinct, a connection to God and just brilliance,” West explained of his decision.
