"Bret Easton Ellis has revealed that he wrote the script for Kanye West&amp;#039;s Yeezus promo video starring Scott Disick. The American Psycho author penned a parody of a scene from the novel on the rapper&amp;#039;s request.   Ellis told MTV News that he became involved in the project after receiving a text from West out of the blue. &amp;quot;I just got a text one day,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;It said, &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s Kanye, do you have time to rap?&amp;#039; And then suddenly my phone rang and someone said, &amp;#039;Kanye got your number and he wants you to write this promo for Yeezus&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The Canyons writer added: &amp;quot;We went back and forth on it and he wanted it done, like, that day. So I wrote it very quickly and they shot it two or three days later. &amp;quot;I had tweeted many times about Scott Disick and American Psycho and we had gone back and forth, and so it all kind of just came together very, very quickly. And it was fun.&amp;quot; Disick has been dating Kourtney Kardashian since 2006 and got to know West through her sister Kim. She and West began dating in 2012 and recently welcomed daughter North together.  Ellis went on to explain that both he and Disick were initially unsure about using the clip. &amp;quot;We all had our problems with it, but ultimately the fact that Kanye liked it so much it helped change whatever reservations we had,&amp;quot; he admitted. &amp;quot;Scott really has problems that he didn&amp;#039;t shave his beard and that his voice got really high, but it&amp;#039;s funny. It&amp;#039;s really just a goof.&amp;quot; The writer also hinted that he plans to collaborate with West again in the near future. &amp;quot;Kanye and I have been meeting about writing a script for him,&amp;quot; he said, &amp;quot;and so that&amp;#039;s a project that&amp;#039;s kind of in the works.&amp;quot; Watch the American Psycho-inspired promo video for Yeezus below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
