Kanye West called 'snivelling little coward' by Piers Morgan after storming out of explosive interview

Piers Morgan has hit out at Kanye West after the rapper abruptly walked out of a fiery interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, branding him a “snivelling little coward” for refusing to answer tough questions.

Teasing the full conversation on X, the TV host wrote: “Ye did walk out, after two minutes... because he's a snivelling little coward who didn't want me to ask him why he's become a vile Hitler-loving Nazi-slathering anti-Semite.

“Happy to continue the interview when/if you grow a pair @kanyewest.”

The clash, which took place on Morgan’s YouTube show, quickly descended into chaos.

West, now known as Ye, was speaking from Spain and joined by influencer Sneako, but barely a minute in, tensions erupted as they argued over his controversial views and social media presence.

West bristled at being introduced by his former surname and interrupted Morgan within seconds of the first question.

“I’m doin’ good. I don’t use the term ‘West,’ you know, the whole drop the slave name idea?” he said.

Morgan replied, “ OK, so we just call you Ye, yeah?” before trying to continue with pleasantries.

But Ye soon launched into a scattered monologue, referencing being “attacked by the banks” and positioning himself as a misunderstood artist.

When Morgan brought up his follower count on X, suggesting it was around 32 million, Ye snapped back: “Wait, now, look, right now you're not going to take inches off my d***, bro. Like, how many followers do I have?”

The bizarre exchange spiralled further, with Ye accusing Morgan of “not taking accountability” and complaining about being misrepresented.

“This is what you get for now, we can circle back when you can count,” he said, before removing his earpiece and walking off camera.

A brief back and forth continued with Morgan stating: “I'm told it's 33 million now. So congratulations, you're slightly bigger following than I thought.”

Sneako, left on screen, told Morgan: “That’s it for Ye but it was nice to meet you Piers.”

Morgan later blasted the walkout on social media, calling Ye a “big baby”.

“We’ll circle back when he is ready to answer questions about why he loves Hitler and hates Jews,” Morgan said in one tweet.

He then reposted a clip from the interview with the caption: “A massive d***.”
