WATCH: Kanye storms out of Piers Morgan interview
Polarising media personality Piers Morgan has taken a swipe at Kanye West after the unpredictable rapper 'stomped off like a big baby' mid-way through an interview. Appearing on YouTube talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored, the Jesus Walks hitmaker sat dressed in all-black beside internet celebrity SNEAKO, framed by the Mallorca coastline. What resulted was a trainwreck interview that appeared to derail before it had begun. 'UPDATE: 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,' Morgan captioned a photo of Kanye on social media. 'This was him right before he stomped off like a big baby before I could ask him why he's become a vile, Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, anti-Semitic pri**.' Morgan had previously engaged in a lengthy interview with the Grammy winner in 2022, which he referenced upon welcoming the pair in this latest sit-down. The host began their conversation by innocuously asking the rapper about his life. However, before Morgan's typically abrasive approach could be introduced, the rapper thwarted the interview when he claimed the host had misquoted his social media following. 'I watch what you put out on X, you've got 32 million followers. You're one of the most followed people...,' Morgan said before being cut off. 'See wait wait... look right now, you're not gonna take, you're not gonna take... inches off my d***, bro,' the rapper responded. 'Like, how many followers do I have?' The two entered into a tedious back-and-forth over the correct figure, which led to the record maker referring to himself as 'a gift'. Kanye then compared his influence to that of 'Lennon' and 'Michael Jackson'. Morgan was confounded by the rapper's rant, which accused the media of a lack of appreciation for his work despite it being played at 'weddings' and 'funerals'. 'Of course I play your music,' Morgan remarked. 'This is what you get for now, we can circle back when you can count,' Kanye added, before getting up and walking off-screen. The Instagram clip ran for less than two minutes, however, the extended cut on YouTube included Morgan grilling SNEAKO over his friendship with Kanye and their shared far-right views. 'You're sounding like Andrew Tate light, like his annoying younger brother we never knew about,' Morgan said. Kanye West.

'An ego far bigger than his talent,' one person said. 'Did he just compare himself to Michael Jackson and John Lennon????' Irish singer Brian McFadden asked. Some users compared Morgan's 'big baby' claims to the behaviour he himself had exhibited when quitting his role on Good Morning Britain in 2021. 'Didn't you storm off like a big baby?' one person asked.

Kanye West hints at split from Bianca Censori in new song "Bianca"
ALBAWABA - Following breakup rumors, it seems Bianca Censori and Kanye West are no longer under a love lockup. In his latest song, "Bianca," off his upcoming album "WW3," the 47-year-old rapper claimed that Censori, 30, had abandoned him. According to reports, the album's cover art is a swastika. During a Wednesday livestream hosted by DJ Akademiks, West—who now goes by Ye—shared the song's lyrics. Ye rapped, "My baby, she ran away." "She initially attempted to get me committed, but I don't understand it. I'm not sick, so I'm not going to the hospital." LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: (L-R) Kanye West and Bianca Censori (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer /Getty Images via AFP) Ye then claimed that a series of damaging antisemitic remarks he made on social media earlier this year caused the couple, who were married in 2022, to break up. "She is having a panic attack and doesn't like the way I tweeted. I'm staying up all night and won't go to sleep until Bianca returns." "Bianca, I just want you to come back. Come back to me. I know what I did to make you mad. Bianca, I just want you to come back," Ye raps at another point. The provocative cover art for the album follows Shopify's decision to ban Ye's Yeezy website for marketing and selling swastika T-shirts after his strange commercial, which aired during Super Bowl LIX in February. In a mysterious post on X, previously Twitter, weeks ago, Ye—who has come under fire for repeatedly endorsing Hitler—seemed to hint at his separation from Censori, igniting breakup rumors. He stated in a since-deleted tweet, "When you look at that betrayal list, I realized I was just a part of people's strategies," the Hollywood Reporter reported. "When the word "love" actually meant "I love the chance," I mistook it for love. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West / AFP / ANGELA WEISS "I make decisions from my heart and mind," he continued. "Therefore, when my heart breaks, it also breaks my head" I drank Henny to the awards ceremony that evening. TThe experience was overwhelming and challenging.g. According to reports, the "Jesus Walks" rapper was initially connected to Censori, a former employee of Yeezy, two months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized. North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm are the four children that Ye and Kardashian have together.

Kanye West Does A 180 After Declaring He Was 'A Nazi' Amid Antisemitism Backlash
Kanye West has made a U-turn on his previous statements about being a Nazi, which earned him severe backlash online. Earlier this month, the rapper stunned many people following a foul-mouthed tirade on X, which eventually led to his account being deactivated. However, his profile suddenly resurfaced on the social media platform three days after its deactivation, though his account now comes with a "sensitive content" warning. On Wednesday, Kanye caused a stir on X when he retracted his initial statement about being a Nazi. The "Jesus Walks" rapper posted, "After further reflection I've come to the realization that I'm not a Nazi." Kanye's post sees him make a complete turnaround from his remarks earlier this month in which he caused widespread outrage with his praise for Adolf Hitler. The rapper was heavily criticized after making several antisemitic, homophobic, and hate-filled posts on X. Some of his controversial posts included him writing, "I love Hitler, now what b-tches," after which he wrote, "I'm a Nazi." He also requested his followers to call him "Yadolf Yitler" and praised the late dictator further, writing, "Hitler was sooooo fresh." Kanye is one of the most controversial celebrities and always finds a way to make news headlines with his comments. Unsurprisingly, his post about not being a Nazi caused a stir online, with many people sharing their thoughts. One person admitted, "YE will go down in history as one of the most MISUNDERSTOOD artists of all time." Another person shared, "well, that's... a step in the right direction I guess." A third person, hopeful that the post meant a return to a saner version of the music producer, added, "Welcome back, Kanye West." A fourth person wondered, "Who are you, and what have you done with Kanye West?" Another person opined, "Awesome, but why would you ever think you were.. you've been receiving bad information. It was really disappointing for you to exclaim that you were one on here." Since making his X comeback, Kanye has continued to be active on the platform, sharing his thoughts on several issues. Soon after returning, he responded to the backlash that greeted his Swastika T-shirt, which he listed as the only item for sale on his Yeezy website. That action prompted Shopify, the e-commerce platform hosting the Yeezy website to shut it down. In a now-deleted post after his X comeback, Kanye said about the shirt, "No one seems to wanna produce me wittle t-shirt." He added, per the Daily Mail, "I remember going to Japan and gasping when I saw what is known as the swastika on clothing. It felt illegal to even look at it [but then] I found out that swastika had many different meanings and many different names." Although many people felt Kanye created the Swastika shirt to troll Jews, he claimed he's had the idea for many years. He wrote, "I've had my swastika t-shirt idea for over 8 years. It was so intriguing to me that a symbol had so much programming in it." Kanye West also responded to Shopify's decision to shut down his Yeezy website, claiming that their action was a "major victory." He also said he "hates" the company. The "Stronger" rapper warned other brands about how risky it was to use the e-commerce giant to sell their products. He wrote, "Anyone who's on Shopify just know they control your market and they have all of your data which raises the value of Shopify while excluding the brands from that upside. (sic)." Kanye also boasted about not suffering any financial losses after his antisemitic tirade on X. He wrote, "I said all these politically incorrect things and nobody was able to stop me extort me threaten me to change anything and I made 40 million the next day between my different business." However, he admitted that he lost some of his staff, including one of his "favorite Yeezy designers," Simon, who made his wife, Bianca Censori's controversial Grammy dress. Celebrated actor Adam Sandler joked about Kanye West being a Nazi during his "SNL50: The Anniversary Special" performance. The "Murder Mystery" actor sang, "50 years of finding out your favorite musician's antisemitic." Kanye responded to Sandler in a post on X on Wednesday. He focused on the part of the actor's lyric that said "favorite musician" and thanked him. The "Carnival" crooner wrote, "Adam Sandler, Thank you for the love." Kanye also celebrated rapper A$AP Rocky's acquittal by reposting several news updates about the development as well as a video of the latter dancing.

Ye And Wife Bianca Censori's Rep Sets The Record Straight Amid Fresh Divorce Rumours
Ye – the rapper former known as Kanye West – has denied that he and his wife Bianca Censori are separating. On Thursday evening, the Daily Mail reported that Ye and Bianca had ended their relationship, and would file for a legal divorce in the coming days. This comes amid the latest scandal for the polarising musician, who was recently dropped by his agent and had his online store shut down off the back of antisemitic and otherwise offensive comments posted on social media, including professing himself to be a Nazi and expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler. However, Ye's long-time spokesperson, the divisive right-wing media personality Milo Yiannopoulos, has now denied that the couple have split. 'Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine's Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumour in the tabloid press,' Milo told the Hollywood Reporter. 'Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I've lost track.' Earlier this month, Ye and Bianca made headlines when they walked the red carpet at the Grammys, where the Australian model and architect dropped her coat to reveal a completely see-through dress underneath. Prior to that, the Grammy winner had been keeping a low-profile for a number of years, following several much-publicised controversies. These included several antisemitic outbursts, wearing a 'White Lives Matter' t-shirt to a fashion show and inviting Marilyn Manson to take part in a stunt to promote Ye's 2021 album Donda. Ye and Bianca are thought to have been married since 2022, the same year the Jesus Walks rapper finalised his divorce from media personality Kim Kardashian. The pair's relationship has generated plenty of conversation in the last three years, with Ye saying in another of his notable X posts last week that he has 'dominion' over Bianca.

Kanye West Calls Drake The 'New Generation R. Kelly' As He Praises Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show
Kanye West must really be enjoying the attention he is getting with all of his antics as he continues to share his thoughts about any topic he wishes. This time, the rapper has chosen to comment on Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show, declaring his love for it. Ye's comments come after he deactivated his X account following a series of provocative posts, including expressing his love for Adolf Hitler and calling for Sean "Diddy" Combs' release from prison. Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime show performance is stirring diverse reactions among netizens, with some describing it as the worst ever while others hailed the "Loyalty" rapper for his creativity. Kanye gave his verdict on Lamar's Super Bowl performance in a video obtained by HotNewHipHop. He began, "Few people have been asking me like 'what did you think of Kendrick's halftime show?'" The "Jesus Walks" rapper confessed that he "really loved the show" before adding, "It was my favorite halftime show since, like the Michael Jackson era, which I kind of just barely remember. I've just been seeing clips of it." Kanye analyzed Lamar's performance, saying it was "super simple. The flag was fresh. They did "Be Humble," and the way people's heads were moving, I was just like shook. This is like super fresh." The "Never Let Me Down" rapper also praised Lamar's voice control and how he eventually performed "Not Like Us" after people speculated about him doing it. Kanye shared that he saw people saying Lamar's halftime show was the worst ever, which he didn't agree with as he feels it is the "best halftime show." Afterward, he shifted the conversation to Diddy's incarceration to drive his point home. The Yeezy founder said, "When I say one man's in jail. One superstar, one black superstar, is in jail. The next black superstar is on stage. They take one rapper to take another rapper down." Kanye then compared Drake to the imprisoned R&B singer R. Kelly. He said, "It's like Drake is almost like the new generation R. Kelly..." He explained that R. Kelly is in jail for doing something similar to what Lamar accused Drake of doing in his song "Not Like Us." Recall that Lamar accused Drake of being a pedophile on the track. Kanye said, "The idea that was put out in the Kendrick song is what R. Kelly is actually locked up for. Now, this information is out here. This could be used, right? And either they give Kendrick everything, he wins everything..." He added, "Then he does this amazing Super Bowl performance, and right after, they say it's the worst Super Bowl performance." Kanye explained that the scenario highlighted all he's been saying about black people being used against each other. He concluded, "This is what I've been saying. They use black people against each other and when they are done with their agenda, they're gonna kick you out. That's my perspective on it." Before Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, Kanye raised eyebrows when he asked the rapper to call for Diddy's freedom. In a now-deleted X post, Kanye wrote, "KENDRICK LAMAR NEEDS TO SCREAM FREE PUFF FROM THE SUPER BOWL STAGE AND WE ALL KNOW WHY." He added, "AND IM GOING TO RESPECTFULLY LEAVE IT LIGHT JUST LIKE THAT, BUT THATS THE HYPOCRISY ONE N-GGAS IN JAIL, AND THE OTHER N-GGA IS AT THE SUPER BOWL." Lamar, who performed "Humble," "Not Like Us" and many of his hit songs at the halftime show, didn't heed Kanye's call. However, that didn't stop Ye from praising his performance. Kanye had engaged in an antisemitic rampage on X, infuriating many people with his antics. Besides posting offensive comments about Jews, Ye also posted pornographic content, made questionable comments about his wife, and even had some things to say about former Vice President Kamala Harris. Following Kanye's X rants, many celebrities, including "Friends" star David Schwimmer, criticized him and called for X owner Elon Musk to take action against him. Eventually, Kanye decided to leave the social media platform on his own terms. Per Sky News, he posted the following, "I'm logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip. Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. Till we connect again. Good afternoon and goodnight." After the post, Kanye seemingly deactivated his X account, bringing an end to his venomous posts on the platform.
