Pete Davidson Jokes About Kanye West’s Alleged Davidson AIDS Rumor in Standup Return
During his recent stand-up routine, Pete Davidson joked about Kanye West allegedly spreading rumors about him having AIDS.
According to a report on Entertainment Tonight, which was published on Friday (April 29), Pete returned to the stand-up stage for the first time in three years at the Netflix Is a Joe: The Festival at the Hollywood Bowl last Thursday (April 28) in Los Angeles. Pete reportedly opened his set with jokes about Ye targeting him on social media.
According to the outlet, Pete joked that he believed Kanye when the Chicago rapper-producer said he had AIDS because Kanye is “a genius.” The Saturday Night Live comedian went on to joke that being humiliated by Kanye is “weird when you can’t do anything about it.”
Pete is referring to a TMZ report back in January that claimed Kanye was allegedly spreading rumors about him having AIDS and being a junkie.
Kanye would later go on social media rants in February dissing the SNL comedian. In now-deleted IG posts, Ye accused his ex-wife Kim Kardashian of allegedly not allowing him to see his children and referring to her boyfriend Pete as “Skete.”
A month later, Kanye goes on another tangent where he claimed Pete is pushing his buttons behind the scenes by bragging about being in bed with Kim via text messages.
And, of course, there’s the claymation music video for The Game’s song “Eazy,” in which Ye fictitiously kidnaps Pete and buries him up to his neck so he can grow roses out of his head. An animated Kanye then beheads Pete and even cradles his head.
A source close to Pete reportedly claimed that the comedian found the “Eazy” video hilarious.
“[Pete] finds the fact that Kanye included a cartoon version of him in his music video hysterical,” the insider said. “He is almost flattered by it all because it is so ridiculous to him.”
Kanye West has been quiet as of late on social media ever since he was put in Instagram jail for 24 hours back in March.
