Studying Time: 3 minutes
Kanye West gave an interview to Piers Morgan this week. Or tried to, anyway.
When two figures so infamous and vulnerable to deliberate controversy get collectively, it can’t go properly.
It didn’t, in actual fact, go properly.
In keeping with Piers, Ye pitched a match and stormed out of the interview. And sure, there’s video.

Piers Morgan interviewed Kanye West, nevertheless briefly
He shared a have a look at Kanye West and revealed that he and collaborator Sneako just lately sat down to talk with him from the Mallorca, Spain mansion the place they’ve been churning out music.
“So, I interviewed Kanye West again today,” Piers started his tweet.
“As I expected, given what I’ve said about him recently, it didn’t last long or go well.” Shocker.

“This was him right before he stomped off like a big baby,” Piers Morgan spat, referring to a nonetheless of Kanye.
The place did the interview go south?
One may half-jokingly say that the interview went incorrect the second that it concerned both Piers Morgan or Kanye West, not to mention each of them.
However a clip on social media will get a bit extra particular.
“This is what you get for now. We’ll circle back when you learn how to count,” Ye appears to inform Piers simply earlier than pulling out his earpiece and strolling off.
Sneako extra diplomatically indicators off, saying: “Yeah, that’s it for Ye, but it’s nice to meet you, Piers.” Somebody appears to snicker within the background earlier than the video cuts off.

It’s not but clear what it’s that Kanye believes that Piers is unable to precisely rely. And it might, in the end, not matter.
Kanye isn’t controversial as a result of he’s obnoxious on digital camera or troublesome in interviewers.
For a lot of public figures, abruptly confessing to an incestuous sexual relationship with a cousin — then releasing an entire music about it (and an obvious nitrous oxide dependancy) — would outline them endlessly and finish their profession.
After Ye’s years of pro-Hitler outbursts and extra, all of that’s merely a footnote.

Will the complete interview make issues any clearer?
We don’t know the way a lot of the interview went down earlier than Ye stormed off.
Sure, Kanye is a really dangerous man. However you don’t, underneath any circumstances, ‘gotta hand it” to Piers Morgan.
Even when he’s proper when going through off with Ye, he’s usually (and loudly) incorrect.
There are two sides to this battle. Sadly, either side are deeply and aggressively horrible.
