Kanye West stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan interview Tuesday, just as he did in 2023.
The 47-year-old “Heartless” rapper, who now legally goes by Ye, appeared alongside pal Sneako on Morgan’s “Uncensored,” speaking from Mallorca, Spain.
Ye accused the BBC broadcaster, 60, of trying to “take inches off my d–k” when Morgan referred to his 32 million X followers. Morgan ultimately corrected this to 33 million — Ye’s follower count sits at 33.3 million, at present.
“I’m a gift,” said Ye. “Why do all you people in media act like you haven’t played my songs at your weddings or graduations or funerals or when your child was born? You take somebody that’s living, like a Lennon or a Michael Jackson, and you take all this time to just like— that nuance right there, it’s idiotic. It just shows the hate you put out there for people who put love. There’s so much love—”
Morgan cut in: “With all due respect, Ye, what are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?”
“OK, now you’re not taking accountability, or responsibility. … Sir, this is what you get for now. We can circle back when you can count,” said Ye, before walking off-screen.
This left Sneako, who Morgan would later dub “Andrew Tate lite” to say, “That’s it for Ye.”
Sneako insisted that Morgan was “trying to patronize, very intentionally” when the broadcaster initially referred to Ye as Kanye West and cited the wrong follower count.
Morgan challenged this, reminding Sneako that he and Ye “d–ked us around yesterday,” having blown off the initially scheduled interview.
“You kept all my crew in Spain, and here, waiting and then wasted their time. And you got us all back now, and you’ve wasted our time again,” said Morgan.
Given Morgan couldn’t ask Ye the intended questions, he directed them at Sneako: “What is his obsession with Hitler? Why is he so rampantly antisemitic?”
Sneako refused to answer on behalf of Ye and repeatedly dodged questions about his own comfort being associated with someone who was, later that today, dropping a track called “Heil, Hitler.”
Instead, Sneako insisted Ye “says he loves everyone. He says he loves Jews. He says he loves Hitler,” and walked off himself.
