Piers Morgan calls Kanye West a 'snivelling coward' after interview disaster
Kanye West has once again stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan, prompting Piers to call him a 'snivelling little coward.'
The feud between the controversial broadcaster and the controversial rapper appears to be fully reignited following another failed attempt at an interview.
In 2022, Kanye branded Piers a 'Karen' and walked out at one point during an explosive interview on TalkTV.
In the previous interview, Kanye was challenged by Piers repeatedly about his use of antisemitic language, following which he declared abruptly: 'Interview adjourned. Love you,' before walking off.
While he eventually came back to the interview in that instance, it seems this time Kanye's tantrum was more lasting.
Piers posted on X on Tuesday: 'Ye did walk out, after two minutes.. because he's a snivelling little coward who didn't want me to ask him why he's become a vile Hitler-loving Nazi-slathering anti-Semite. Happy to continue the interview when/if you grow a pair.'

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 @PiersUncensored later… pic.twitter.com/m8TDGDpwgs — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 6, 2025
He later posted: '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 @PiersUncensored later…'
Around the same time, Kanye bizarrely posted: '@piersmorgan Let's have a real interview someday. It's all love.'
The interview comes after Kanye recently made a shock confession that he had a sexual relationship with his cousin as a child.
The All Falls Down hitmaker took to social media explaining the meaning of his upcoming song called COUSINS, shocking fans with his admissions.
'This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that's locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn't 'look at dirty magazines together' anymore,' the US rapper wrote on social media.
'Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw.
'My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different.
'My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14,' he added.
This followed months of erratic and deeply vile behaviour from the rapper, who has taken to social media multiple times spread anti-semetic rhetoric.
Over the past few years, West has caused uproar with his problematic views and statements, and has perhaps become more associated with parading around his wife naked, than for any recent music.
The interview was a joint venture with Sneako, a controversial Internet celebrity who has previously been banned from streaming on gaming content site Twitch, who live-streamed the interview on his YouTube channel.
Nicolas 'Nico' Kenn De Balinthazy, known as Sneako, was born in 1998 and rose to fame as a YouTuber and a social media star who is best known for gaming content. More Trending
The influencer is also known for his controversial comments and regressive political views.
Piers later posted on X, referring to Sneako: 'To be honest, I'd never heard of this little twerp before yesterday – but @PiersUncensored viewers can make their own mind up about him when we air the whole thing in full later.'
It seems Kanye stormed out of the interview because Piers continued to ask him about his anti-semetic views, something Kanye evidently was unwilling to discuss.

Jess Glynne blasts White House over ‘sick' video using Jet2 Holidays viral song
An incensed Jess Glynne has hit out at the White House after its official account jumped on the Jet2 Holidays viral trend to tweet about deportations. The travel operator's earworm of a jingle, which mixes Glynne's chart-topping 2015 song Hold My Hand with a catchy voice over from former Hollyoaks actress Zoe Lister, has become this summer's unexpected social media trend. TikTok users in particular, from places as far flung as the Philippines and people including Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum, have enjoyed filming their own versions and joke clips while using the trending audio. In a bizarre turn of events, the official government X account of President Donald Trump's White House jumped on the trend on Tuesday, playing the jingle over the top of a video showing people in handcuffs being ushered onto ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) deportation flights in America. The White House's X post, where the accompanying video now has 11.5million views, is captioned: 'When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!' Singer Glynne took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share her outrage over the White House involving itself in the light-hearted trend with its own twist. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'This post honestly makes me sick,' she began. 'My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.' Voice actress Lister also condemned the move, posting a picture on Instagram of herself leaning her chin in her hand. 'What can be done about @whitehouse using @jet2pics sound and my voiceover to promote their nasty agenda?' she wrote alongside her Story. To keep things light she then followed up with a clip of herself pulling a face and sliding her sunglasses over her eyes as the caption read: 'When your voiceover demands that you comment on US politics.' The White Houses video also shows immigration officers dragging people out of vans and parading them onto planes bound for foreign countries. It also features a screenshot of the US government app CBP Home, which is being used to allow migrants currently in the United States to self-deport, before ending with Trump smirking and giving a thumbs up to the camera. ICE is aiming for 3,000 arrests of immigrants in the US per day, with the video a clear attempt to promote Trump's migration strategy. However, it was met with shock online, as users branded it 'disgusting' and 'insane', with Gavin Wilson adding: 'The world is losing its grip on reality.' Journalist Will Lancaster revealed he had to 'double, and then triple check, at who [sic.] posted this'. 'It actually IS the official White House page, using a British airline advert trend to boast about deporting immigrants from their country, even including a Trump cameo at the end. 'Lost for words,' he added. More Trending Glynne, 35, and Lister , 43, finally met one another in person earlier this month when they appeared on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, to celebrate being the sound of the British heatwave summer of 2025. The I'll Be There singer Jess shared that she was grateful for the renewed interest in the song, revealing: 'Yeah, it's a massive surprise, 100%. It's the most amazing thing to see though.' She then performed her own version of Lister's famous voiceover, reading the full script out in the studio: 'Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday. And right now, you can save £50 per person. That's £200 off for a family of four!' Metro has contacted the White House for comment. Got a story?

The chef does not understand sandwiches: Raffles London at the OWO reviewed
I am mesmerised by the restaurants of Raffles London at the OWO (Old War Office) because war approaches and the Old War Office is now a stage set for food, floristry and linen. If this is civilisation – it isn't really, but it thinks it is – who will protect it now? Will we even know if war has started – or care? It was a fine building when I first came – I have reviewed its chilly Mediterranean food, its manic Italian and its tepid French – and it still is. Grand hotels exist to suppress time. It is a preening Edwardian palace with crazed plinths, over-pliant staff and ever sillier restaurants, today's being the Drawing Room. It looks like how people who are not posh imagine posh country houses to be. It's the English restaurant in Trump Tower without the defibrillator, or the more money-ed parts of Weybridge. It is all dark wood and red leather like a bench in the House of Lords, though there is a copy of The Brothers Karamazov on a shelf, and The Dog in Photography. I am here for a themed second world war female spy tea called Secrets & Spies, which I booked while laughing. It is the patisserie-fication of the remembrance of war, and this is apt here. I wonder if the tea exists, though subconsciously, for women who think that eating is an act of war against yourself. We ask for Earl Grey, and the waiter makes us smell it before it is infused for three, four or five minutes (a timer is provided). I feel vaguely captured when I am made to smell tea, but I give him this: it is very good tea. British tea is usually terrible, a feint, part of our mad grandiosity. Then an asparagus and spring vegetable tart, which is small, cold and almost all pea. I will embrace the theme and say it is like being tortured by fascist peas. Then a vile group of sandwiches: chicken with curry emulsion (what?); ham on tomato bread; egg and cress; smoked salmon and horseradish. They are small, cold and weird. The chef does not understand that sandwiches cannot be posh, and the best sandwich – the thick sandwich – will not try. The cakes are madder than Hitler. There is a cake inspired by the GTSP, the sabotage watch 'that won the war', which I had never heard of until I ate a chocolate version of it. There are pastries named for Odette Sansom, the first woman to win the George Cross (elderflower, raspberry and yoghurt); Christine Granville, who was the inspiration for Vesper Lynd (strawberry, vanilla and ginger); Virginia Hall Goillot, our first woman in occupied France (chocolate, coffee, sable); Vera May Atkins, the inspiration for M (maple, pear, pecan). It's weird, like eating the Imperial War Museum because you can't think of anything else to do with it. It's rare that a restaurant leaves me this confused: who is this for? Is it a sting, HM's government being wary of women who take novelty teas? Is it feminism? I leave the halls where, the restaurant blurb tells me, 'some of the nation's most important leaders, statesman and influencers have walked'. Was T.E. Lawrence an influencer and, if so, where is his memorial macaroon? I know it is coming, alongside an entire Madame Tussauds made of pastry. I went on a Karl Marx walking tour of Soho once: every place Marx lived and worked is now a pub, restaurant or cocktail lounge. Civilisation – what it really is – is drowning in food and drink, so make it good. This isn't.

Edinburgh Fringe's war on comedy
Every day my inbox fills with stories of panic, madness and despair. The Edinburgh Fringe is upon us and the publicists are firing off emails begging critics to cover their shows. If the festival is a national X-ray, this year's image is shadowed by emotional frailty and a distinct sense of humour failure. The brochure is full of performers advertising their mental disorders (ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and so on), as if they were badges of achievement. The chair and chief executive of the Fringe say that the festival means 'giving yourself over to the (safe) hands of our performers allowing yourself to be swept away by their creativity'. The word 'safe', in brackets, assures nervous visitors that their mental wellbeing won't be jeopardised. Clearly the aim is to cosset audiences rather than to stimulate or amuse them. As for making them laugh, that seems a distant memory. The Fringe once had a sense of freedom and danger. I used to head for a cramped little basement just off the Royal Mile where comedians performed from noon until midnight. No tickets. A bucket was passed around at the end of the show. Every hour, a new compère arrived with half a dozen mates from elsewhere on the Fringe and they delivered 60 minutes of chitchat and verbal swordplay. Often this involved singling out members of the crowd for good-natured abuse. Anyone with a sensitive temperament or, heaven forbid, an emotional disorder stayed away. There were no rules or special protections other than the criminal law. I was there in 2010 when a comedian lost patience with a drunken heckler and headbutted him to the floor. As the bleeding victim was carried upstairs to a waiting ambulance, the next performer was called to the mike. She was an American with a delicate southern accent. 'Good evening, Edinburgh. I just stepped over a pool of fresh blood to reach the stage. Is that normal in Scotland?' The building still exists but it specialises in fine dining these days. Back then, the Fringe specialised in monologues about mass murderers and war criminals. An actor would dress up as, say, Hitler, Stalin or Jeffrey Dahmer, and deliver an hour of bad-taste jokes to a crowd of unshockable punters. That genre seems to have expired. And yet right now the world stage is full of controversial and even monstrous characters who are ripe for mockery. The satirists seem uninterested. Westminster barely features at all. No comedian has targeted Keir Starmer or any of his scheming colleagues around the cabinet table. Last year's Liz Truss impersonator hasn't returned. No one wants to attack Trump, Farage, Zelensky, Bibi or Macron. The festival has lost its satirical teeth. Another casualty is the joke of the Fringe award whose sponsors, U&Dave, have withdrawn their support. Last year's winner suggests that the pool of talent had all but dried up. 'I was going to sail around the globe in the world's smallest ship but I bottled it.' Not great. But it's better than the winner from the previous year. 'I started dating a zookeeper but it turned out he was a cheetah.' What a mess. Compare it with the winner of the inaugural prize in 2008. 'I can't believe Amy Winehouse self-harms. She's so irritating she must be able to find someone to do it for her.' The author Zoe Lyons would face a barrage of condemnation if she aired a quip like that today. There's an old Fringe joke about the BBC that has never been nominated for an award – for obvious reasons: 'It was a different era, the 1970s. The sex offenders' register was called the Radio Times.' The one-liner may be passing into history. The culture of backchat or verbal jousting, which breeds quickfire gags, is under assault from many directions. Puritans denounce repartee as 'banter' and they consider it a form of 'toxic masculinity'. Working from home has put an end to the informal games of one-upmanship that used to amuse staff in offices or after hours in the pub. And people are simply too scared to launch a mocking barb at a colleague in case it results in a lawsuit or a summons to an employment tribunal. A few critical voices have suggested that the demise of the one-liner has coincided with the ascent of female comedians who lack the epigrammatic powers of men. Mae West might dispute that: 'I used to be Snow White but I drifted.' So would fans of Nancy Mitford and Dorothy Parker. Even Marilyn Monroe was adept at crafting a decent gag: 'I've been on a calendar, but never on time.' The Fringe alone isn't responsible for the death of the one-liner but it might do more to help. Most of the best comedy that the festival now creates is in response to its own restrictions. What perhaps marked the beginning of the end for the Fringe was the outbreak of humourlessness and stupidity that led to the cancellation of Jerry Sadowitz's show at the Pleasance in 2022. The noted satirist of racism, sexism and homophobia was accused by the venue of racism, sexism and homophobia. 'We will not associate with content which attacks people's dignity,' declared the venue's press release. But attacking people's dignity was Sadowitz's whole shtick. As comedian Richard Herring pointed out, 'To complain about him being offensive is like asking the actor who plays Macbeth to be arrested for murder.' In this climate it's little wonder that the festival's one-liners have become so weak. To remove 'content that attacks people's dignity' is to suppress almost every joke ever made by anyone. Jokes hurt. That's why they exist. The spirit of cancellation, meanwhile, continues apace. A long-running show, Jew-O-Rama, has been pulled because of 'staff safety' concerns. The same fate has befallen Rachel Creeger's show, Ultimate Jewish Mother. And Philip Simon's solo effort, Shall I Compere Thee in a Funny Way?, has also been cancelled. He was informed that his views conflict with Banshee Labyrinth's 'stance against Israel's government and actions'. This venue is a dank, underlit cavern tucked away in a cobbled side street and yet it addresses the world as if it were a permanent member of the Security Council. Perhaps there's a simpler explanation. A pub that sells fun to youngsters is vulnerable to changes in fashion and to boycotts orchestrated by online activists. Less harm will be incurred by cancelling a couple of performers than by risking an embargo that could lead to long-term financial damage. Understandably the venue wants to present this commercial decision as a high-minded desire to establish peace and justice across the world. It shouldn't be like this. Censoring comics harms the Fringe's reputation. A casual observer may conclude that the festival is engaged in a war against comedy, which in turn looks like an attack on the human spirit. Laughter is as natural as saying 'ouch' when you stub your toe. It's an emotional response to suffering, to tragedy, to being alive. 'Nothing is funnier than unhappiness,' says Beckett in Endgame 'It's the most comical thing in the world.'
