The two had sat down for what was supposed to be a no-holds-barred convo on Piers' YouTube show, but it quickly went south, the New York Post reported.
Morgan took to Instagram to break the news. “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. 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 prick. Drops on @piersmorganuncensored later…," he wrote.

Kanye West and Piers Morgan get off to a rough start
Things were tense right from the jump. As Piers Morgan tried to set the scene, Kanye West immediately bristled at being called “West.”
“I don’t use the term West, you know, the whole drop the slave name idea?” he corrected.
Morgan tried to course-correct. “Ok, so we just call you Ye, yeah?” he asked. “Yes, sir,” Kanye replied.

Then came a seemingly harmless question about how his life’s been lately. Instead of answering directly, Kanye pointed to his surroundings.
“You see that view?... Judge it on the view on the answer how my life is, judge me by the view," he said.
Morgan tried to roll with it. “The view is Majorca, I’ve been there. It’s a beautiful place, and for all intents and purposes, you seem very relaxed and happy," he responded. "That is in direct contrast to your public image at the moment, over the last couple of years, led by your ferocious…”
Kanye interjected, “But I already disagree, 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," he stressed.
Things come to a head on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' before Kanye West walks out
Piers Morgan tried steering the conversation back to social media, noting Kanye West's massive following. “OK, but the point I was gonna make is that, I watch what you put out on X — you’ve got 32 million followers, so you’re one of the most followed people…”
The rapper interjected once again: “Now, look, right now you’re not going to take inches off my d**k, bro. Like, how many followers do I have?”
When Morgan asked for the correct number, Kanye said he had a staff member to figure that out.
Morgan replied, “I’m told it’s 33 million now. So congratulations, you’re slightly bigger following than I thought…”
Still unimpressed, the rapper launched into a full-blown tirade. “Your information is correct… I’m a gift, bro. I mean, why do all you people in media act like you haven’t played my songs at your weddings or graduations or at funerals, and when your child was born, you know?” he said.
“You take somebody that’s living like a [John] Lennon, a Michael Jackson, and you just take all this time to, like that nuance right there, it’s idiotic. It just shows the hate that you put out for people that put love. There’s so much love in the art I put out," he insisted.
A confused Morgan further asked, “What are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?”
Kanye shot back, “Now you are not taking accountability or responsibility… No sir, this is what you get for now, we can circle back when you can count.”
And with that, he yanked off his mic and walked out.
That left Morgan just sitting there on the other side of the line, and his interview partner Sneako—a controversial streamer who’s been banned from several platforms—was just as shocked as anyone.
“That’s it for Ye. Nice to meet you, Piers,” Sneako said.
