Piers Morgan Rips Ye For Storming Out Of Interview Over Misstated Number Of X Followers

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.
