Kanye West has sparked concerns after clashing with Piers Morgan on the presenter’s Uncensored TalkTV show.
The US rapper, 42, got embroiled in a furious bust-up with Piers during the explosive two-hour interview teased on Wednesday night’s Uncensored (October 19).
The former GMB anchor, 57, grilled the artist on his recent anti-Semetic remarks which caused global outrage and led to him being suspended from Twitter.

Piers tried desperately to get Ye to apologise for his comments about Jewish people, but it took almost two hours for the star to row back on his comments.
TalkTV viewers raised concerns for the star on Twitter after seeing the clips, with many slamming his apology during the show.
One claimed: “He really isn’t well is he? He talks a load of rubbish!”

A second said: “He’s a little off,” whilst a third wrote: “This man used to be so smart, successful and inspirational. I can’t believe this is the same man. It’s sad.”
A fourth fumed: “Wtf he’s not sorry he’s just laughing! Disgusting”
A fifth added: “What I heard is that he is sorry for the confusion!”
The chaotic interview saw the pair interrupt eachother and Kanye shout at Piers, even calling him a “Karen” at one point.

He told Piers: “You don’t hold accountability to my pain. You’re being a Karen,” before Piers hit back: “I’m not being a Karen. I’m not a Karen and I’m not going to cancel you and I’m not going to uncensor you.
“I’m simply going to challenge you on what you’re saying.”
On the offensive tweets, Piers asked the star: “My question to you is, do you now regret saying ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’, are you sorry you said that?”, but West replied: “No, absolutely not… absolutely not”.

Later on, Piers pressed Ye: “Racism is racism and you know that I think, don’t you?”, with Ye replying: “Yeah, obviously, that’s why I said it.”
Piers asked: “So you said it knowing it was racist?”, prompting Ye to reply: “Yes, I fought fire with fire. I’m not here to get hosed down. I’m a different type of freedom fighter.”
Eventually, Kanye apologised, saying: “I will say I’m sorry for the people I hurt with the ‘death con’, with the confusion, I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I am sorry for the families of the people who had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.
