Piers Morgan has blasted Kanye West as ‘racist, antisemitic and homophobic’ following his shocking comments about Jewish people and Adolf Hitler.
The former Good Morning Britain host has a working relationship with the rapper, having interviewed him for Piers Morgan Uncensored in October.
That interview came following an antisemitic tweet sent by West in which he declared he was planning to go ‘death con 3 on Jewish people,’ a post that led to him being suspended from the platform.
After being challenged by Morgan and storming out of the interview, West later returned and apologised for causing upset after the tweet.
Now West has been suspended from Twitter again for ‘incitement to violence,’ and appeared on a TV interview where he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazis.
In response to the shock new drama, Morgan gave his two cents on the matter and declared that the rapper has ‘lost the plot.’
The former ITV star claimed he had a ‘lengthy text exchange’ with the Yeezy businessman and said West indicated ‘he’s now revelling in causing maximum offence.’
‘He wasn’t just racist, and anti-Semitic, but horribly homophobic too – and his latest pro-Hitler rant is sadly more evidence he’s lost the plot,’ Morgan went on.
New Twitter owner Elon Musk confirmed West had been suspended from the platform for violating rules ‘against incitement to violence.
It has been reported that shortly before West’s suspension, he shared a photo to the site of a Star of David, a symbol of Judaism, merged with a swastika.
While a swastika is an ancient religious and cultural symbol, it was appropriated by the Nazi Party and so is strongly associated with antisemitism.
In their previous interview, West and Morgan clashed over the rapper’s ‘death con 3’ tweet, with West eventually replying: ‘I feel like I caused hurt and confusion.
‘I’m sorry for the families that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.
‘Hurt people hurt people, and I was hurt.’
