Kanye West wants Jamie Foxx to play him in a biopic
Kanye West has revealed that, should a film based on his life ever be greenlit, he’d want Jamie Foxx to star in the lead role.The controversial rapper touted Foxx as his “pick” for the prospective role – which is, for now at least, purely hypothetical – in a new post on Instagram, asking fans who they wanted to see play West in a “Ye movie”.West called Foxx “one of the greatest geniuses”, but many fans seemed to disagree with his viability for the role – multiple commenters have instead jokingly suggested the likes of Danny DeVito, Danny McBride and Pete Davidson.A post shared by Ye (@kanyewest)Foxx and West have linked up several times in the past, though. Their first collaboration came in 2003, when both artists joined Twista on the single ‘Slow Jamz’.
