‘Like a big baby': Piers Morgan mocks Kanye West after rapper storms out of interview (VIDEO)
LONDON, May 7 — Piers Morgan has again criticised Kanye West after the controversial rapper abruptly walked out of another interview.
On Instagram, the British broadcaster shared a picture of an agitated Kanye along with the caption: "UPDATE: I interviewed Kanye West again today."
In the accompanying commentary, Piers said, "As I expected, given what I've said about him recently, it didn't last long or go well."
He went on to describe Kanye's behaviour harshly, saying the rapper "stomped off like a big baby" before Piers could question him about his history of antisemitic remarks.
A video clip of the interview shows Kanye and online streamer Sneako on a balcony in Mallorca, where Kanye says, 'This is what you get for now. We can circle back when you can count,' before walking off.
After Kanye left, Sneako told Morgan, 'Yeah, that's for Ye, but it's nice to meet you, Piers.'
Piers previously interviewed Kanye in a fiery two-hour exchange on TalkTV in 2022, during which the rapper also left the set mid-conversation.
Despite the tension, Piers said he was glad the rapper returned that time, although he now accuses Kanye of being racist, homophobic and sympathetic to Hitler.

Teen sensation Doue steps out of the shadows into stardom
PSG's Desire Doue celebrates his 20th birthday on Tuesday. (Spada/LaPresse/AP pic) PARIS : Paris St-Germain teenager Desire Doue, who was not even guaranteed a spot in the starting line-up, burst into instant stardom when he lit up the Champions League final as they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 today. With a deft assist and two clinical finishes at Munich's Allianz Arena, the attacking midfielder, who celebrates his 20th birthday on Tuesday, transformed from squad option to overnight sensation in PSG's 5-0 demolition of the Italian side. 'He is reaping the rewards of his hard work,' coach Luis Enrique had presciently said weeks before the final. 'He will continue to grow. He's in the right club for his development.' Luis Enrique's decision to select Doue over regular starter Bradley Barcola proved inspired. The teenager repaid his manager's faith within 12 minutes, intelligently squaring the ball for Achraf Hakimi's opener when most players would have shot. Desire's clinical finishing soon followed as he netted twice to seal victory before departing to thunderous applause from the PSG supporters after 67 minutes of sustained brilliance. Doue's ascension has been swift yet measured. After catching French eyes during Les Bleus' Olympic silver medal run last summer, he made the switch from Rennes to PSG, where he initially waited patiently for opportunities. Desire showed his composure when converting the decisive penalty in the shootout against Liverpool in the last 16 but today's performance elevated him from hot prospect to phenomenon. Bruno Genesio, his former coach at Rennes, offered reassurance for those fearing success might change the young star. 'Away from the pitch he's a dream: easy, calm, with a streak of leadership while still asking for advice. He's both care-free and conscientious in his work,' he said. As Doue joins up with France for next week's Nations League Finals, the irony is inescapable – at 20 he will arrive with a Champions League winner's medal that his international teammate Kylian Mbappe left PSG pursuing elsewhere at Real Madrid. In a club that was deliberately rebuilt without superstars, PSG may have just found one after a night when Doue eclipsed the team's Ballon d'Or candidate Ousmane Dembele.

Swiatek claws back from the brink to reach French Open last 8
Iga Swiatek is looking to become the first female player to claim the singles' title four times in a row at Roland Garros. (AP pic) PARIS : Four-time champion Iga Swiatek clawed her way back from the brink to qualify for the French Open quarter-finals as she beat her clay court nemesis Elena Rybakina after a high-octane decider today. The fifth-seeded Pole looked out of sorts as she trailed 6-1, 2-0 on Court Philippe Chatrier, leaving the crowd stunned, but Swiatek found her groove and some grit to prevail 1-6, 6-3, 7-5. Her final opponent from last year, Jasmine Paolini, was on the wrong end of another dramatic last 16 clash against 13th seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine as the Italian wasted three match points in a 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-1 defeat. Svitolina will provide the next test for Swiatek, who continues her quest to become the first female player since tennis turned professional to claim the singles' title four times in a row at Roland Garros. The only women to win the singles at Roland Garros in four straight years were Jeanne Matthey from 1909-12 and Suzanne Lenglen from 1920-23 when only French players competed. Since tennis turned professional in 1968, Swiatek is one of three women with Monica Seles and Justine Henin to enjoy three consecutive triumphs in Paris and today it looked like her quest for a fourth straight was going to crash to a halt. The 12th-seeded Rybakina made a bullet start, putting Swiatek on the back foot with some powerful baseline play and racing to a 5-0 lead, threatening to inflict on the former world number one her first bagel at a Grand Slam. 'It was as if I was playing (men's world No 1 and heavy hitter) Jannik Sinner,' Swiatek joked. Double faults If there was any sign that Swiatek was rattled, it was her three double faults at 2-2 in the second set. The fifth seed still held though and it proved to be a turning point as she went on to break to love and move 4-2 up, bagging 10 consecutive points in the process to send the clash into a decider. At 4-4, with Rybakina serving at 15-40, the Kazakh appeared to have double-faulted on break point. Both players were walking towards their benches when chair umpire Kader Nouni's deep voice overruled the line judge's call. The reversal – met with murmurs from the crowd – offered Rybakina an unexpected lifeline as the air filled with electricity. Swiatek later saved a game point with a blistering forehand winner, but it was Rybakina who ultimately secured the crucial hold, shifting the weight of expectation squarely onto her opponent's shoulders. Swiatek cooled down and held, then broke and finished it off on the second match point before unleashing a huge scream and bumping her chest in a mix of released anger and relief. 'In the first set, with her playing like that I felt I did not have a single chance,' said Swiatek, who had lost to Rybakina in their two previous encounters on clay. 'Using the top spin was the plan from the beginning but I did not feel she gave me the space to do that. But I'm happy that I was patient enough to stay in the game and use any opportunity that came to me.' Elsewhere in the top half of the draw, Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen battled on, the Chinese eighth seed overcoming Russia's Liudmila Samsonova 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-3, with a potential clash against world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka looming. In the men's draw, world No 12 Tommy Paul blitzed Australian Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to become the first American male player to reach the French Open quarter-finals in 22 years. Paul matched Andre Agassi's run from 2003 after Americans yesterday equalled a 40-year-old record with five women and three men reaching Round 4 of the clay court Grand Slam.

Sinner sets sights on French Open quarters, Gauff and Andreeva in action
PARIS, June 2 — Jannik Sinner will seek to light up the night session on Monday as the top seed clashes with Andrey Rublev, while Russian starlet Mirra Andreeva will face hitting-partner and ex-compatriot Daria Kasatkina for a place in the French Open quarter-finals. Elsewhere, world number two Coco Gauff will meet Ekaterina Alexandrova in the last 16 and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will renew his rivalry with Cameron Norrie. Third seeds Alexander Zverev and Jessica Pegula will also take to the court in fourth-round action against Tallon Griekspoor and Lois Boisson, respectively. Italy's Sinner will look to continue his quest to make it three Grand Slam titles in a row when he takes on Russian 17th seed Rublev. The pair have met nine times in their career with Sinner holding the edge with six wins to three, but the former world number five emerged the victor in their only previous meeting at Roland Garros at the same stage in 2022. Sinner retired injured from that encounter but should come into Monday's headline match in fine nick after limiting his time on court so far this tournament by winning all his matches in straight sets. However, his opponent has spent even less time playing after receiving a walkover past France's Arthur Fils in the third round. 'I have to be very careful. Andrey is an incredible player. I have to be focused. He's rested. So let's see what's coming,' said Sinner. Teenager Andreeva will meet Kasatkina — ranked 17 and now playing for Australia after switching allegiance from her native Russia. 'I practised with her here once already, so I think that we practise together every tournament,' said the sixth seed. 'It's going to be an entertaining match, for sure, because I think we both know each other very well. So, you know, I think that it's going to be... pretty tight.' The 18-year-old lost her only previous meeting with Kasatkina in the final at Ningbo last year. 'Let's go to Vegas' Djokovic, a three-time French Open winner, will have the chance to rack up 100 victories at Roland Garros when he faces Britain's Norrie. The 38-year-old Serb sits on a 99-16 win/loss record at the major where he has enjoyed the least success in terms of titles. 'Just that stat alone for me in terms of longevity, something that particularly in the last maybe five to seven years, I was looking forward to try to extend my career,' said Djokovic. 'To try to be playing on the highest level for as long as I possibly can, regardless of the age. And that's what's happening, so I can't be happier than that.' Djokovic beat 81st-ranked Norrie in three sets earlier this month on the red dirt in Geneva on his way to securing a century of ATP titles. Norrie's compatriot and men's fifth seed, Jack Draper, can extend his best-ever run at the French Open by beating a rejuvenated Alexander Bublik in the fourth round. The Kazakh is also enjoying his best performance at Roland Garros, and credited his return to form in recent months to a boozy trip to Las Vegas with his coach. 'He's (Bublik's coach) like, 'Man, if you play like this, we're just going to be out of tennis, of the conversation by Wimbledon',' recounted the former top-20 player. 'I said, 'Okay, let's go to Vegas'. 'Vegas, Vegas, like a Hangover-thing (2009 film) Vegas, yeah.' Last year's German runner-up Zverev completes the men's fourth round as he takes on unseeded Dutchman Griekspoor. Gauff heads up a quartet of American women in the last 16 as the former finalist battles Russian 20th seed Alexandrova, who has reached the second week in Paris for the first time. Australia Open champion and seventh seed Madison Keys competes with 70th-ranked compatriot Hailey Baptiste for a spot in the quarter-finals. US Open finalist Pegula will face world number 361 Boisson — the sole remaining French player and lowest-ranked competitor left in the draw. 'Obviously... (Boisson's) going to have some crazy support,' said the 2024 US Open finalist. 'I think it will be fun. It will be cool to be a part of that.' — AFP
