It takes a lot to make Piers Morgan look like a decent and upstanding human being, but interviewing Kanye West did the trick.
Once a beloved and respected musician, West is now better known for his bizarre “IM A NAZI” and “I LOVE HITLER” comments. Not to mention parading around his naked wife, Bianca Censori, who he claims to have “dominion over.”
I’m being told there’s an issue with me performing Hell Hitler

I am doing Heil Hitler at all my shows
All of this gave Morgan a lot of ammunition to use against him on yesterday’s episode of his YouTube show Piers Morgan Uncensored. Sadly (but predictably) West avoided too much scrutiny by walking out in a huff just four minutes into the interview:
The exchange was contentious from Morgan’s opening question. He began with a softball lobbed at West, beginning to ask, “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 interrupted him and responded defensively: “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! … I’m in contrast to your contrast!”
Not a great start. Then West exploded when Morgan said he had 32 million followers on X. West actually has 33.3 million followers (as of writing) and promptly accused Morgan of taking “inches off his d**k”. West sniffily said, “we can circle back when you can count” and walked off, never to return.
West’s friend Sneako was left to continue the interview, and as nobody knows or cares who that is, things petered out quickly. Morgan ended by telling Sneako to be sure to tell West he’s a “snivelling little coward, and he’s an antisemite and a Hitler worshipper.”
Morgan took to Instagram to give his take on what happened, saying West “stomped off like a big baby before I could ask him why he’s become a vile, Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, anti-Semitic p***k.” I’d also like an answer to that question, but given that West makes little sense even on a good day, I doubt the response would be useful or illuminating.
The ‘Donda 2’ situation
Meanwhile, West remains embroiled in the controversy over his 11th album Donda 2, which was yanked from music streaming sites just hours after its release after threats of legal action.
This stems from West allegedly refusing to pay producers Jahmal “Boogz Da Beast” Gwin and Brian “AllDay” Miller, who produced eight tracks on the album. Their manager DeAndre “Free” Maiden said: “We did not & do not consent to the usage of our work for Donda 2 or ANY Ye project! He’s owed us $ for almost 3 years now, has refused to pay, yet keeps stealing our work”, adding “The Lawyers are getting this taken down within the hour.” As of writing, Donda 2 is mostly back online, though with several tracks still unavailable.
