Kanye West Storms Off Piers Morgan Interview After Four Tense Minutes; Rapper Rants About ‘Being Attacked by the Banks’ and ‘My D—‘
Professional troll and occasional rapper Kanye West went head-to-head with professional troll and occasional journalist Piers Morgan, and the results were as uncomfortable as you might imagine.
West appeared on the May 6 episode of Morgan’s YouTube program “Uncensored,” where he was joined by his associate, social media star Sneako.
Morgan began the interview by asking how West was, to which the rapper replied, “I mean…you see that view” and “judge it on the view.” West was doing the interview in front of a scenic backdrop where he’s working in Majorca, Spain.
Attempting to dig in on the interview, Morgan continued.
“The view is Majorca, I’ve been there. It’s a beautiful place,” he said. “For all intents and purposes, you seem very relaxed and happy. That is in direct contrast to your public image at the moment, over the last couple of years, led by your ferocious …”
West interreupted Morgan before he got the full question out.
“I already disagree,” West said. “It’s not in contrast — there’s so many people and artists that are championing the idea of someone being able to just express who they really are, and have been able to go through the war of being attacked by the banks, being attacked, you know, by the banks — that’s the best way to put it. Being attacked by the banks, and to still be here with this view is, you know, that’s the win. So I think that’s — I’m in contrast to your contrast.”
Morgan then asked Kanye about his 32 million followers on X, to which the rapper quibbled with the number, saying, “Now, look, right now you’re not going to take inches off my dick, bro. Like, how many followers do I have?”
After Morgan confirmed with a staffer that it was indeed 33 million followers, West continued ranting about the media and accused Morgan of “not taking accountability or responsibility” and said that the interview could “circle back when you can count.”
West then removed his mic and walked away, leaving Sneako to say, “That’s it for Ye.”
