Talking at the Sundance Film Festival about his new film, the hip-hop star explained that he had met the veteran actor at his home a few months before they started filming.
The rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, told MTV: "I met Robert De Niro prior to this film project. We were going to work on [another] project and we met months before.
"That didn't materialise...but first I went to his house. We went to the firing range and hung out a few times."
On the subject of De Niro's skills on the firing range, he commented: "He has an amazing accuracy with it. You'd think, because he's in films and acting, he might not be able to do it."
