Kanye West abrogates scheduled Piers Morgan talk.
In a shocking turn of events, Kanye West, also known as Ye, and TV host Piers Morgan locked horns once again in a brief and tense on-air encounter. This time, things escalated so quickly that the meeting ended even before it could properly begin.
Tensions boiled over during a 2025 interview when West took offense at Morgan claiming he had just 32 million followers, rather than the actual number of 33.3 million on platform X. West took the remark as an attack on his personal life and demanded an immediate correction, icily stating, "I'm a gift. Why do people in the media act like they haven't played my songs at weddings, graduations, or funerals? That's ridiculous. (...) We can meet again when you can count." West then stormed off camera, leaving the host and viewers confounded.
"Bye, Ye, Back to Work"
As West exited the scene, his friend, influencer Sneako, steped in to fill the void. "That's it for Ye," he declared, attributing West's behavior to Morgan's assertion that he called West by his birth name instead of his chosen alias "Ye."
When Morgan inquired about West's controversial antisemitic comments and praise for Adolf Hitler, Sneako defended West, stating he was focused on collaborating with him to realize his vision and preferred not to discuss these sensitive topics.
Morgan's Defense and Venting
Following the abrupt conclusion, Morgan criticized West, calling him a "whiny, little coward, an antisemite, and a Hitler lover" if he had the guts to sit through interrogation on the subjects at hand. Morgan also defended his decision to interview West, arguing that no one is holding him accountable for his actions on the platform.
In a dig at West, Morgan later recounted their exchange on Instagram, calling West a "disgusting, Hitler-loving" individual. West retaliated with a screenshot from the show on his Insta page, captioned "BE REAL."
A History of Heated Exchanges
This incident, mirroring a 2022 episode, occurred after Morgan invited West for a chat. The run-ins between the two stemmed from Morgan's direct confrontation of West's controversial views, especially regarding antisemitism, and West's unwillingness to engage or provide explanations.
