Ye Addresses 'Antisemitism' Backlash In Piers Morgan Interview; Brushes Off Balenciaga Decision To Cut Ties

The hip hop star and fashion mogul joined TalkTV's Piers Morgan, in an interview published on Friday, to discuss the many controversies he's embroiled in, including-- feuds with Jewish business executives, ex-wife Kim Kardashian and others.

The TalkTV host who's famous for constantly interrupting his guests apparently met his match in Ye, 45. The rapper hilariously broke into "lalalala..." chants several times, to literally shush the talkative TV host.

Piers repeatedly tried to get the Golddigger hitmaker to apologize for his supposedly antisemitic remarks. The rapper initially refused to oblige.

"I think you should say to the Jewish people 'I'm sorry for the offensive language I used in that tweet," Piers told him. "I wouldn't do that again. This is what I really meant'. I think people would respect you if you said that. I don't know why you can't just say that."

Ye then fumed: "Bro! Hey bro, eh eh bro, I ain't finished. I ain't finished my sentence..."

Then Piers cut him off again and began speaking before Ye burst out: "Hey, boy!" Piers shot back: "Don't call me boy."

"Bro, I was in the middle of a sentence, boy," Ye said. "Are you going to allow me to finish my sentence?"

Piers responded: "Yes, if you then answer my question."

The fashion mogul then explained that before he apologizes for anything, Jewish business executives should review and redraw the contracts they made with African American talents and partners to correct the current deals which he says are exploitative and unfair.

"...Contracts, openly, we want to compare and contrast the contracts, and then once we open that conversation, and we need to do it on a platform live with lawyers asking questions, and we'll have the top lawyers," He said, giving the example of his ex-wife Kim's dad Rob Kardashian.

"After that moment happens, then I will say 'I'm sorry,'" Ye concluded.

Things unraveled when the fashion mogul abruptly left the room, after saying the interview is "adjourned." He returned, reportedly after a few minutes of discussion.

Ye conditionally apologized for his supposedly antisemitic comments, eventually. "I will say I’m sorry for the people I hurt with the ‘death con’, with the confusion," he said referencing his controversial tweet. "I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I am sorry for the families of the people who had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through."

French fashion house Balenciaga announced on Friday that it had severed ties with Ye: “Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist,” parent company Kering told WWD. Creative director Demna Gvasalia had been a close friend and collaborator of the rapper for many years, with the duo most recently working together on their Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collections.

Fashion magazine Vogue also reportedly said on Friday, that neither the magazine nor its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour 72, who has had a long and close relationship with Ye, intend to work with the rapper again after his supposedly antisemitic comments.

While leaving daughter North’s basketball game on Friday -- to which he and Kim arrived separately -- Ye reacted to the report: “I ain’t losing no money,” he told TMZ, shrugging. “The day I was taken off the Balenciaga site, that was one of the most freeing days.”

The fashion mogul argued that people are cutting ties with him to simply “score points,” and that they are being asked “to not do business with” him because they’re “trying to mute” him. He refuses to be canceled, saying, “We here, baby, we ain’t going nowhere.”

Ye, who recently hired Johnny Depp’s lawyer to oversee all of his businesses, remains defiant. “I want to talk about the Jewish comment, it’s actually proven the exact point that I made..." he said. "It’s going to take all of us to come together. We gotta get the truth before we can get the love if not we are just loving the lies.”

He continued: “They never expected someone to have the platform. It’s not that anyone is afraid, they’re afraid of us not being afraid anymore. They can’t use all the tactics. I’m talking about my life has been threatened for having a political opinion. To wear the wrong color hat or the audacity of me as a black man to have a White Lives Matter T-shirt. I’ve seen white people wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts. it’s pretty one-sided if you think about it.”

Kim reportedly attended the game with North, 9, along with her and Ye’s three other children -- Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.
