It's just stupid gossip but...

Morgan attempted to get back to his questions and started to ask about Ye's controversial social media posts. "I watch what you put out on X, you have 32 million followers," the host began. "You're one of the most followed people —"

"Now, look, right now you're not going to take inches off my dick, bro," Ye interjected. "Like, how many followers do I have?"

"Well, how many is it?" Morgan asked.

"You can do the study, you got a whole staff over there," Ye countered.

Morgan then checked the number with a staffer and corrected himself: "I'm told it's 33 million," he said. "So congratulations, you have a slightly bigger following than I thought."

"No, congratulations [that] your information is correct," Ye said, then launched into a rant[...]

that's not even 10% of the US Population yet Kanye thinks he is big fish. Not even a tenth listens to his rants on a fascist platform. What a big baby.

He's not big fish but definitely a gay fish.

10% still makes it sound like a lot, but a big chunk of those have to be outside the US (if they're even all active accounts).
