According to the Daily Mail, the stress began at first of the interview when Morgan referred to the rapper as “West” throughout his introduction.

West pushed again, saying, “I don’t use the term West—you know, the whole ‘drop the slave name’ idea?”

Morgan shortly corrected himself, asking: “Ok, so we just call you Ye, yeah?” to which the rapper replied, “Yes, sir.”

However, issues solely went downhill from there as a result of Morgan’s query about West’s on-line actions and public picture.

During the interview, Morgan requested West how life had been treating him these days. Instead of answering immediately, the “Runaway” rapper gestured to his environment, saying, “You see that view?… Judge it on the view on the answer how my life is, judge me by the view.”

Morgan replied, “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 added: “That is in direct contrast to your public image at the moment, over the last couple of years, led by your ferocious… [West begins to interrupt] Well, hang on. Let me finish the question…”

However, West minimize in, disagreeing: “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!”

He continued: “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.”

As Morgan tried to steer the dialog, he introduced up West’s affect on social media: “You’ve got 32 million followers on X—so you’re one of the most followed people…”

But the “Donda” rapper shortly minimize in with a pointy response: “Now, look, right now you’re not going to take inches off my d-ck, bro. Like, how many followers do I have?”

When Morgan requested for the correct quantity, West recommended his workforce ought to’ve already checked. Morgan clarified, “I’m told it’s 33 million now. So congratulations, [you have a] slightly bigger following than I thought…”

Clearly agitated, the temper soured as West pivoted to defend his legacy. Drawing comparisons to music icons, he accused the journalist of making an attempt to belittle him.

He declared, “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, you take somebody that’s living like a [John] Lennon, a Michael Jackson, and you just take all this time too, like that nuance right there, it’s idiotic.”

He added: “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.”

A confused Morgan replied, “What are you talking about? I haven’t said anything?”

West wrapped up with a pointed comment: “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.”

With that, he eliminated his mic and walked off set, abruptly ending the interview simply over two minutes in.

In the feedback, reactions had been combined. Some supported West’s resolution to stroll off, with one consumer stating, “Why should he sit there and be insulted by you because you don’t agree with his take on things? Who do you think you are?”
