Kanye West storms out of Piers Morgan interview — again
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.'

Chance the Rapper Says He Hasn't Talked to Ye ‘In a Long Time'
Though Chance the Rapper and Ye go way back, it seems their paths have diverged over the years. In advance of Chanoe's forthcoming album, Star Line, he sat down with New Rory & Mal, where he was asked if Ye appears on the project. 'I haven't talked to him in a long time,' Chance told the titular hosts at around the 37:45 minute mark. 'He's one of the most influential people in my music. He was at my wedding, our kids have hung out together. I always love Kanye, and but just being honest, I haven't talked to him in a while. 'I feel like I've been hella busy—I'm working on shit,' the Chicago rapper continued. 'He's obviously been busy. I be trying not to take opportunities to diss motherfuckers or add too much to the story.' COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess. When Chance was asked if he would reach out to Ye once things settle, Chance said, 'No.' 'The way that I think about my world is, I be thinking about my day. So what I gotta do that day and what I'm working on for the next two weeks, maybe six months,' he said. 'My relationships and how I view people as friends and stuff is just, 'Have I loved this person? And have they ever willfully and intentionally betrayed me?' 'I got friends that I haven't talked to in five or six, seven years. It's not like I'm anticipating some conversation, something where it's like, 'Alright, now it's my time to fix you and tell your ass what you've been tweaking on.' No s**tlike that.' He then explained that he and Ye aren't 'necessarily peers,' and that—even though they've collaborated—Ye was and is one of Chance's idols. 'I'm also a lot younger than them n***as. There's also different ways that people can even have friendships because we're not necessarily peers. My first album that I consciously wanted to have was The College Dropout. So I have a different reverence for him, or just understanding of how my life went and how it influenced things I do. 'I think most rappers got a rapper that was they first album, and probably from they city. So imagine if yours was Kanye West, and imagine if you worked with them, and imagine all that shit,' Chance reflected. 'I'm always gonna have my own opinions and I'ma always state my opinions,' he added. 'For the most part, I'ma just be me, I'ma let people be them. And so no, there's not a time where I'm like, 'Man, I gotta make sure I hit up Kanye before I put this album out or after I put this album out,' or anybody.' The pair first worked together almost a decade ago, on The Life of Pablo, which arrived on Feb. 14, 2016. Chance appears on the opening album cut, 'Ultralight Beam," and also wrote on a handful of songs, including 'Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,' 'Famous,' 'Feedback,' and 'Waves.' Ye later appeared on Chance's Coloring Book mixtape track 'All We Got,' which dropped a few months later, on May 13, 2016. Chance's second studio album, Star Line,' is set to arrive on Friday.

Gary Lineker shortlisted for National Television Award after BBC exit
Gary Lineker has been shortlisted for the National Television Award for best TV presenter, just months after his exit from Match Of The Day. The former footballer will face off against Ant & Dec, who have won the prize for 23 years in a row. Lineker exited the BBC's flagship football show in May after 26 years, following a row after he shared a post about Zionism, which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult. He issued an unreserved apology over the social media post, as it was confirmed he would leave his presenting role at the BBC early and would no longer front coverage of the 2026 World Cup or next season's FA Cup. Earlier this month, it was announced that he has signed up to present a new ITV game show called The Box, which will be filmed in the UK later this year and air in 2026. Lineker and Ant & Dec will compete for the television presenter prize against Alison Hammond, best known for her appearances on This Morning and The Great British Bake Off; The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman; and Sort Your Life Out presenter Stacey Solomon. The NTAs will be hosted by comedian Joel Dommett at The O2 in London on September 10, where Adolescence stars Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham, who play on-screen father and son, will go head-to-head for the drama performance prize. They will compete against Tom Hardy for crime drama MobLand and Rose Ayling-Ellis for her performance as a lipreader called in to aid police in the thriller Code of Silence, while Brenda Blethyn is recognised for her final case as the eponymous detective in Vera. Adolescence, the juggernaut Netflix drama about a teenage boy who is arrested for murdering a classmate, is also in the running for the new drama prize. Also nominated are the adaptation of Jilly Cooper's Rivals, the gangster saga MobLand, Code Of Silence and the cryptic comedy drama Ludwig. The eagerly anticipated TV return of Gavin & Stacey at Christmas is shortlisted for the comedy prize, competing against stalwart Mrs Brown's Boys, crime caper Brassic and Michael McIntyre's 25th Year Stand-Up Special. Comedian McIntyre is also recognised with a nod in the Bruce Forsyth entertainment award category, for his variety show Michael McIntyre's Big Show, facing off against The Graham Norton Show, The Masked Singer and panel game Would I Lie to You? He is also in the running for the quiz show prize, with a nod for his programme The Wheel, alongside nods for Richard Osman's House of Games, The 1% Club and The Chase. Flintoff, in which former cricket star Freddie Flintoff opened up about his life-changing Top Gear car crash, is shortlisted for the authored documentary prize. It is in the running alongside There's Only One Rob Burrow, which paid tribute to the late rugby league player-turned-MND campaigner; Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, about Strictly professional Amy Dowden's battle with cancer; and reality star Molly-Mae Hague's tell-all Molly-Mae: Behind It All as well as Boyzone: No Matter What, which chronicled the rise and tragedy of the 90s boyband. TV personality Solomon has two nominations in the factual entertainment category, where her lifestyle show Sort Your Life Out and fly-on-the-wall series with husband Joe Swash – Stacey & Joe – are both contenders. They face competition from Jeremy Clarkson's agricultural shenanigans in Clarkson's Farm, as well as Gogglebox and The Martin Lewis Money Show Live. Meanwhile, The Great Pottery Throw Down has earned its first nomination for the talent show prize, securing a nod alongside Strictly Come Dancing, The Voice UK, Britain's Got Talent and The Great British Bake Off. The National Television Awards will be broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX from 8pm on September 10, with the final round of voting now open.

What we know about Strictly 'cocaine' scandal as police investigate
The Met Police and the BBC are investigating after two of the show's stars were accused of taking the class-A drug The Met Police is investigating allegations of drug use on Strictly Come Dancing. It was "widely known" that two stars of the BBC show allegedly took the class A substance, The Sun on Sunday reported. The Met has now said it had "received an allegation about drug-related offences". In a statement, it added: "Police are assessing the information and further enquiries are taking place to establish whether there is evidence of a criminal offence being committed." The drug-taking allegations first emerged in a legal submission to the BBC from law firm Russells on behalf of former celebrity contestant Wynne Evans, according to the newspaper. Evans's own time with Strictly wasn't without controversy; he was forced to quit the tour after he made an "inappropriate and unacceptable" comment during its launch, and consequently, BBC Radio Wales didn't renew his contract. Who are the Strictly stars accused of drug taking? The Sun on Sunday reported that there were two Strictly stars accused of drug taking. Those two stars in question have not been named by the newspaper. It was reported that the two stars will be offered professional support behind the scenes. BBC offered no comment on this. What has the BBC said? BBC News reported that the broadcaster is understood to have enlisted the help of a law firm to support the investigation into the allegations of drug taking. External law firms report back to internal teams in cases like this, Yahoo UK understands. The investigation is being led by the BBC, not the law firm. A BBC spokesperson said: "We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further." The Sun reported the possibility of random drug tests being implemented into the Strictly tour. However, Yahoo UK understands that there are no plans to introduce further measures at this time. Changes to Strictly Come Dancing BBC made a number of changes to Strictly Come Dancing's welfare last July, behind the scenes. Chaperones now attend every rehearsal room, and there were two new welfare producers appointed as part of the new measures. Additional training is now provided for the dancers, production team and crew. New measures were put in place after allegations were made about some of the professional dancers. Strictly's pro dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima left the show in the wake of allegations about their behaviour toward their dance partners Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott. Former dance partner Abbington made allegations of bullying and harassment claims against Pernice, who had denied the claims; some of the complaints were upheld, but not all of them. Strictly Come Dancing will return in the autumn with two new professional dancers and celebrities taking part in the show. Yahoo UK has reached out to the BBC and Wynne Evans' representatives for further comment. Solve the daily Crossword
