Kanye West and Piers Morgan Clash Over Controversial Remarks in Heated Interview

Kanye West, now known as Ye, stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan during a heated exchange over his social media follower count.

The conversation, which started with light discussion about Ye’s surroundings in Majorca, Spain, quickly took a turn when Morgan inaccurately claimed Ye had 32 million followers on X (formerly Twitter).

Ye corrected him, stating his follower count was over 33 million, accusing Morgan of downplaying his influence.

The tension escalated as Ye compared himself to cultural icons like Michael Jackson and John Lennon, insisting, "I'm a gift."

Frustrated with what he perceived as dismissiveness from Morgan, Ye removed his earpiece and walked off camera, leaving his associate Sneako behind.

Morgan later criticized Ye on social media, calling his exit cowardice and claiming the interview was intended to hold Ye accountable for his recent controversial statements.

This incident is just the latest in a series of contentious public appearances by Ye, further fueling debate over his recent behavior and public image.
