Piers Morgan Rips Ye For Storming Out Of Interview Over Misstated Number Of X Followers
You can see the video here:
- YouTubeyoutu.be
In addition to the title chosen for the video, Morgan also took to X to call out Ye's behavior during the brief interview. He included a screen shot of Ye.
Morgan wrote:
"So, 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. Drops on [Piers Morgan Uncensored] later…"
The video showed less of an interview and more of Ye ranting while Morgan tried to figure out what he was on about.
At one point, Morgan actually asked:
"What are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?"
The tipping point for Ye seemed to be when Morgan referred to Ye's X follower count as 32 million instead of 33.
Before Morgan could finish the question, Ye interjected:
"See wait, wait. Now, look now. Look, look at, look right now, you're not going to take–you're not going to take inches off my dick, bro."
"Like how many followers do I have?"
When Morgan asked:
"Well, how many is it?"
Ye responded:
"I think you could do the study. You got a whole staff over there."
Morgan replied:
"I thought it was 32 million. How many is it? You obviously know."
Ye said:
"I mean, no. I mean don't–don't help them out. You know, they, uh..."
Morgan then corrected himself, saying:
"I'm told it's 33 million now. So congratulations. Your slightly bigger following than I thought."
Ye responded:
"No, congratulations, your information is correct. You're not just some dude, you know, trying to sub. You know, I'm–I'm a gift bro. You know what I mean?"
"Why–why do all you people in media act like you haven't played my songs at your weddings or graduations or at funerals or when your child was born?"
"You know, you take somebody that's living like a [John] Lennon, a Michael Jackson and you just take all this time to just 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 that I put out."
At this point, Morgan interrupted to say:
"With all due respect, what are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?"
Ye replied:
"What are you talking about? It's 30—OK, now you're not taking accountability or responsibility. And you know what, we'll rewind. I need a–I need a–no sir, this is what you get for now we can, we can circle back when you can count."
He then took out his earpiece and stormed off, leaving Sneako sitting there.
Ye's companion made light of his behavior, calling it funny, but Morgan—whose production team spent several days indulging Ye's whims and failure to show up at a previously scheduled time—was unamused.
He told Sneako:
"Tell him from me he’s a sniveling, little coward, and he’s an antisemite and a Hitler worshipper. That’s what I would have asked him if he’d had the balls to sit there and take the questions."
Both Morgan and Ye are polarizing figures, but people seemed to side with Morgan on this one.

As Morgan stated in the intro, his last interview with Ye lasted two hours while this interaction was probably three minutes, tops.
It's unclear how long this one was supposed to last or if Morgan ever plans to go back down this road again.

MAGA Rep. Gets Epic Geography Lesson After Making Inane Claim About 'Gulf Of America'
You can see the moment here:
But Hageman supported her claim by referring to San Diego, California, which is about 1,500 miles away.
Hageman told the House Rules Committee:
"I think another reason why we should change this to the Gulf of America versus the Gulf of Mexico is, for over 40 years, the country of Mexico has been dumping raw sewage into the area near San Diego, California."
"That’s another reason we need to retake and claim ownership of this area."
The environmental issue Hageman referred to involves the Tijuana River that flows from Mexico through California, then empties into the Pacific Ocean.
Hageman threw support behind a bill proposed by Georgia MAGA Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene that would require federal laws, maps and other materials to rename the body of water to match Trump’s executive order.
The exact cost of renaming the Gulf of Mexico hasn't been included in the bill, but it would involve updates across different levels of government and private entities. Initial estimates for signage alone are around $40,000.
The Gulf of Mexico sits on the southeast corner of the United States, the northeast corner of Mexico, and northwest of the Caribbean nation of Cuba.
None of the three countries hold exclusive claim of the water beyond 12 nautical miles of their coastline, where international waters begin.
The body of water has been the Gulf of Mexico on maps and in records dating back to the 1550s.
Mexico became a country in 1821, the U.S. declared itself independent in 1776, and Cuba became a country in 1902, making the Gulf of Mexico over 200 years older than any of them.

Five states now border the Gulf of Mexico: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. They're collectively called the "Gulf States."
Mexico has about 1,700 miles (2,700 km) of coastline on the Gulf of Mexico and where it flows into the Caribbean Sea. The United States coastline on the Gulf of Mexico also spans approximately 1,700 miles (2,700 km).
San Diego, California is on the Pacific coast of the United States, far removed from the Gulf of Mexico. But south of the city is the Gulf of California, which is bordered only by the country of Mexico.
Mexican President Claudia Pardo Sheinbaum has not changed the name of that body of water, despite it not sharing coastline with any other country.
She's apparently uninterested in wasting time and money on petty actions that accomplish nothing.

And if Hageman just wants a retaliatory name change, New Mexico is right there on the other side of Arizona.
While Hageman likely felt she made a great point, social media mocked her.

Hageman was elected to Congress in 2022 as the MAGA candidate.
She replaced incumbent Republican Representative Liz Cheney, after winning the GOP primary campaigning as the pro-Trump candidate.
Cheney famously fell out of favor with the GOP for criticizing Trump.
