Piers Morgan Explains Why Ye Cut Their Interview Short: ‘He Went Into a Great Theatrical Strop'
Ye (formerly Kanye West) stormed off the set of a contentious interview with Piers Morgan on Tuesday (May 6), and the Uncensored host has provided some context about why Yeezy pulled the plug on the combative, short-lived chat. Morgan hopped on X on Wednesday (May 7), where he claimed that West and his team were giving him the run around leading up to the interview. 'He was costing us time and money,' Morgan said. 'And my patience was almost running out.' More from Billboard Daddy Yankee & Snow's 'Con Calma' Hits 3 Billion Views on YouTube back number's 'Blue Amber' Bows at No. 1 on Japan Hot 100 j-hope Says BTS Experienced 'Growing Pains' While Working on Solo Music Amid Military Service After getting the go-ahead to conduct the interview, Morgan says the conversation got off to a rocky start when Morgran addressed Ye as 'Ye West,' which the rapper took issue with since he's trying to lose his 'slave name.' 'I did talk to him for about three minutes,' Morgan said. 'When I asked him how he was, he pointed to the backdrop behind him. Actually a pleasant backdrop, this time of Mallorca, which implied he was in a great place. I said, 'You seem happy and content. Which is a direct contrast to what is going on with you on social media.'' Morgan then got West's follower count on X wrong, which upset the rapper. The host said Ye had 32 million followers when, in actuality, Ye has compiled just over 33.3 million followers as of press time. 'At that point, he went into a great theatrical strop. It's not 32 million — it's 33 million,' Morgan recalled. The interview came to a halt as Ye got up and left, leaving Sneako to deal with a frustrated Piers Morgan. 'You're not gonna take inches off my di–, bro.' the Chicago native said before he left the interview. 'I'm a gift, bro. Why do all you people in media act like you haven't played my songs at your weddings, or graduations or at funerals or when your child was born?' He continued: 'You take someone like that's living, like a [John] Lennon or a Michael Jackson. That nuance right there is idiotic. It just shows the hate that you put out for people that put out love. There's so much love in the art that I put out. This is what you get for now, we can circle back when you can count.' Morgan referred to Ye as a 'sniveling coward' and proceeded to pepper Sneako with questions about Yeezy's recent tirades on X that have included antisemitic remarks and praise for the likes of Hitler and Diddy.
