Pete Davidson reflected on his past drama with Kayne West — and didn’t hold back when taking shots on the rapper.
Davidson, 32, was one in all the comedians who took the stage during Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart on Sunday, May 10, to lampoon actor Kevin Hart. West’s name got here up while Davidson was joking about fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
“Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings,” Davidson said, partially. “I used to be in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from higher gay Nazis. Thanks.”
Davidson’s portion of the roast on Sunday got here after Hinchcliffe, 41, took the stage and in addition brought up West during a moderately explicit joke that mentioned Kim Kardashian.
“The closest Pete has come to greatness is when his d*** rubbed up against Kanye’s old c**,” Hinchliffe said as Davidson might be seen nodding his head. West has yet to acknowledge his name being included in Sunday’s roast.
Davidson’s issues with West began amid the Saturday Night Live alum’s nine-month relationship with Kardashian, 45. While Davidson and Kardashian were together — from November 2021 to August 2022 — West often dissed the comedian on social media, famously calling him “Skete.”
Davidson’s reference to West’s strong views got here months after the rapper explained his politically laced and antisemitic rants on social media over the past few years.
“Certainly one of the difficult features of getting bipolar type-1 are the disconnected moments — lots of which I still cannot recall — that led to poor judgment and reckless behavior that oftentimes looks like an out-of-body-experience,” West wrote in an open letter published within the Wall Street Journal this past January. “I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It doesn’t excuse what I did though. I’m not a Nazi or an antisemite. I really like Jewish people.”
West claimed on the time that he had experienced a four-month manic episode last yr, which included “psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behavior.” The musician said it “ruined” his life.
“Once you go right into a manic episode, you might be sick at that time,” he added, crediting wife Bianca Censori as the explanation he got help. “If you find yourself not in an episode, you might be completely ‘normal.’ And that’s when the wreckage from the illness hits the toughest.”
Pete Davidson brought his signature brand of no-holds-barred humor to his Saturday Night Live hosting debut. Davidson, 29, starred in a spoofed version of Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” ballad from Barbie, by which he lamented about his own profession after SNL solid members questioned why he was hosting the season premiere. “Nobody cares […]
There have been also rumors linking West to YouTube star and makeup mogul Jeffree Star in 2021, which Star denied to Us Weekly in June 2021.
“I see why it happened,” Star said on the time, referring to his proximity to West in two states. “Obviously, we live — he’s probably two miles down the road or perhaps he’s in Wyoming straight away. … I believe the rumor definitely was [about] the correct time, I believe, and the correct place.”
