NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman says he plans to invite Kanye West with him on his next trip to North Korea, saying it could happen as early as this fall.

"I'm going to invite him next time I go to North Korea. If the door's open in September, I will invite Kanye West with me to go to North Korea," Rodman told Us Weekly in an interview published Tuesday.

"If he wants to make an album about that he'll be there for like six to seven days, and he'll see what's going on. Now, go make a song about this. So here you go," Rodman added of the rapper, whom President Trump has praised for his support.

Rodman has visited North Korea five times and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom he has called "a friend for life."

"When I started this whole venture about going to North Korea, it wasn't about me, about trying to be more famous. No, I just wanted to have a good time with the family, that was it," Rodman told Us Weekly.

The former NBA player and "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant mentioned Trump's summit with Kim in June, which was the first-ever meeting between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader. Rodman had traveled to Singapore days before Trump's meeting with Kim, though the president said that the NBA star was not invited to the summit.

"People start turning on me, then all of a sudden now when they had the meeting, all of a sudden now people say, 'Oh it took you five years for our President to prove the fact that I was right. I said 'OK, whatever,'" Rodman told Us Weekly.

"If anything happens with this whole thing, with North Korea and America, it's amazing how the fact that I didn't do it, I just brought the guys together."

Rodman also divulged more on his relationship with the North Korean leader, pointing to a basketball game he participated in for Kim's birthday in January 2014. He said at the time that his reason for going was to "bring peace to the world."

"He respects me," Rodman told the magazine. "That's one thing that we have in common. We respect each other, and I think the most important part about that, when he saw respect in me when I did that thing, the basketball game on his birthday. That's when he said, 'Dennis, whatever you want. No one's ever done this for me and my family. No one's ever sit there and kept their word.' And I tell people, it's all about trust with them. Trust."
