In a real meeting of the minds, controversial rapper Kanye West was interviewed by eternally cranky British journo Piers Morgan and as you can imagine, it did not go very well.
Sharing a moment from the interview on his socials, Piers wrote: “So, I interviewed Kanye West again today. As I expected, given what I’ve said about him recently, it didn’t last long or go well. This was him right before he stomped off like a big baby.”
Wild that he’s surprised Kanye stormed out of the interview given A) he’s Kanye, and B) you’d think Piers would be used to people hightailing it out of a room when they’re forced to share oxygen with him.
During the interview, Kanye got pissed that the Meghan Markle stan used his surname West in his intro, insisting he refer to him as ‘Ye’.
“I don’t use the term West, you know, the whole drop the slave name idea?”
Piers responded: “Okay, so we just call you Ye, yeah?” to which Kanye replied: “Yes sir”.

Piers then asked Kanye, who was joined by social media star Sneako, how his life has been of late.
“You see that view? Judge it on the view on the answer how my life is, judge me by the view,” Kanye responded.
“The view is Majorca, I’ve been there,” Piers said. “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… [Kanye begins to interrupt] Well, hang on. Let me finish the question.”
Ye fired 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.”
Piers then tried to finish asking his question, saying: “Okay, 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.”
A fired up Kanye then said: “Now, look, right now you’re not going to take inches off my dick, bro. Like, how many followers do I have?”
When Piers asked how many the correct number was, Ye said Piers has a staff of people who could Google it to find out.
“I’m told it’s 33 million now. So congratulations, you’re slightly bigger following than I thought,” Piers replied.
“Your information is correct,” Kanye said. “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.”
“What are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?” Piers responded.
Kanye ended the scintillating chat with: “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.”
The rapper then proceeded to remove his mic and storm out of the interview, leaving his assistant to field Piers’ remaining questions.
“You know what you are doing? I think you were trying to patronise very intentionally by getting those two things under his skin,” Sneako said.
“We called him Ye!” Piers retorted, also pointing out that the dynamic duo had kept the crew waiting for almost 22 hours before eventually turning up for the chat, which Sneako described as “funny”.

When probed about Kanye’s anti-semitism, he refused to answer the questions, adding that he only seeks to “fulfil [Kanye’s] vision” and will not “speak on his [Ye’s] art or his vision”.
Piers then said: “The reason I wanted to get him on was because I don’t think anyone holds him to account for anything he does on X, and in fact, he deliberately breaches all of X’s rules, and yet he does it with impunity and is allowed to do it, whereas millions of other accounts get suspended for far less offences.
“So I was going to ask him directly, why I mentioned his X following, I was going to ask him about what he puts on X and why he does this? Why he continually attacks Jewish people, why he continually celebrates Adolf Hitler?”
On his antisemitic comments, and referencing “whipping Jews”, Sneako added: “I’m pretty sure it’s a joke because I’ve been here for a couple weeks [in Spain] and he hasn’t whipped any Jews”.
Piers concluded the interview by instructing Sneako to “tell him from me he’s a snivelling, little coward, and he’s an antisemite and a Hitler worshipper. That’s what I would have asked him if he’d had the balls to sit there and take the questions”.
