Kanye West cut short his interview with Piers Morgan after just four minutes after the TV presenter mistakenly said that he had 32 million followers on X – rather than 33 million followers
The simmering feud between Piers Morgan and Kanye West has reignited following a heated exchange during their latest interview, which ended abruptly when the rapper stormed off after just four minutes.
On Piers Morgan Uncensored, the conversation turned sour when Kanye took umbrage with Piers for “patronising” him by incorrectly stating that he had 32 million followers on X, rather than 33 million.
The cringe-worthy interview began with Piers asking Kanye about his current life situation, to which the rapper responded by referencing the scenic backdrop, saying: “You see that view?…. Judge it on the view on the answer how my life is, judge me by the view.”
Piers replied: “The view is Majorca, I’ve been there. It’s a beautiful place, and for all intents and purposes, you seem very relaxed and happy. That is in direct contrast to your public image at the moment, over the last couple of years, led by your ferocious… [he begins to interrupt] Well, hang on. Let me finish the question..”
Kanye shot back: “But I already disagree, it’s not in contrast, there’s so many people and artists that are championing the idea of someone being able to just express who they really are, and have been able to go through the war of being attacked by the banks, being attacked, you know, by the banks – that’s the best way to put it. Being attacked by the banks, and to still be here with this view is, you know, that’s the win. So I think that’s, I’m in contrast to your contrast,” reports the Mirror.
Piers then tried to wrap up his question, noting: “Ok, but the point I was gonna make is that, I watch what you put out on X – you’ve got 32 million followers, so you’re one of the most followed people..”
Ye wasn’t having any of it and snapped back: “Now, look, right now you’re not going to take inches off my d***, bro. Like, how many followers do I have?”
When Piers enquired about the accurate tally, Ye coolly suggested the presenter had a whole team to check that info. Piers retorted: “I’m told it’s 33 million now. So congratulations, you’re slightly bigger following than I thought..”
The rap mogul, dad to four kids with Kim Kardashian, wasn’t pleased and started throwing shade by comparing himself to iconic musicians. He threw some shade at Piers Morgan Uncensored host: “Your information is correct…I’m a gift, bro. I mean, why do all you people in media act like you haven’t played my songs at your weddings or graduations or at funerals, and when your child was born, you know, you take somebody that’s living like a [John] Lennon, a Michael Jackson, and you just take all this time to, like that nuance right there, it’s idiotic. It just shows the hate that you put out for people that put love. There’s so much love in the art I put out.”
The host was left baffled when Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, bizarrely cut their interview short.
Piers, visibly confused, questioned: “What are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?” to which Ye sharply responded: “Now you are not taking accountability or responsibility… No sir, this is what you get for now we can, we can circle back when you can count.”
Ye then made a dramatic exit from the set after barely two minutes, ripping off his mic in the process. Sneako, who has recently been booted from certain platforms, remarked dryly: “That’s it for Ye. Nice to meet you, Piers.”
