Kanye West is apparently revelling in Pete Davidson and Kid Cudi’s recent misfortunes.
Just days after it was reported Davidson and Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, had ended their nine-month relationship, the Chicago rap icon returned to Instagram on Monday (August 8) to pour salt into the SNL comedian’s wound.
Kanye posted a mock cover of The New York Times featuring a headline that read: “Skete Davidson Dead At Age 28.”
He also poked fun at Kid Cudi — a close friend of Davidson — who stormed off the stage at Rolling Loud Miami last month after being pelted by objects from the crowd. Cudi was drafted in as a last-minute headliner replacement for Kanye, who had pulled out of the festival for unknown reasons.
“Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers,” read the small print at the bottom of the newspaper.
Kanye West’s Instagram post resumes a campaign against both men that began earlier this year.
After Davidson began dating Kardashian last October, Kanye portrayed the comedian’s decapitation in the video for his “EAZY” collaboration with The Game, while repeatedly referring to him as “Skete” on social media.
Kid Cudi found himself caught in the crossfires due to his relationship with Davidson, with Kanye publicly cutting him from his DONDA 2 album over perceived disloyalty.
“I JUST WANTED MY FRIEND TO HAVE MY BACK. THE KNIFE JUST GOES IN DEEPER,” he wrote on Instagram in February. “THE REASON I ASKED CUDI TO AT THE LEAST SPEAK TO SKETE IS BECAUSE FOR YEARS CUDI ALWAYS MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS ME AND HIM AGAINST EVERYONE NOW THAT IM FIGHTING FOR MY FAMILY HE NOT BY MY SIDE THIS IS BIGGER THAN MUSIC.”
Pete Davidson Brags About Being In Bed With Kim Kardashian In Leaked Kanye West Texts
The Cleveland, Ohio native responded by calling Ye a “fuckin dinosaur” and accusing him “flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet.” He later declared he’d no longer work with his former G.O.O.D. Music boss and Kids See Ghosts collaborator.
Kanye West’s attacks against Davidson and others resulted in his Instagram account being suspended in March, with the social media platform saying he violated their policies on hate speech, harassment and bullying.
It’s unclear whether this latest post will land him in hot water — or for how long it will remain visible on his page, given Mr. West’s penchant for deleting his Instagram posts.
Kanye a clown for this but that shit is funny nonetheless
People can’t learn to control their emotions…Pete didn’t date Kim to get at Kanye, Kim dated Pete to get at Kanye
What does it say about Kanye to lose his girl to Pete? Lol. And yes Pete possibly did “skete” somewhere with Kim lol.
Irv and Kanye. Simps of a feather.
Kanye is still wack I see. Havent learned anything.
How do you “clown” anyone when you’ve made a damn fool out of yourself 10 times over? This guy is so nuts it has to be for show.
does ye really think hes clowning skete by calling him skete when skete was sketin down his wifes throat?
This is like the guy that didn’t make the playoffs trying to clown the guy that lost in the playoffs.
More like the guy who won 5 titles trying to clown the guy that lost in the playoffs. Which is some how worse to me
Does he also find it funny that “Skete” fucked his baby momma’s brains out for like a year straight? Lol
Lol it’s like dude you still lost your wife. She ain’t getting back with you. She’s gonna go n date someone else.
Kanye still showing why he’s one of the biggest jokes in the entertainment industry. Looks like an idiot wearing masks, gloves, and goofy rain boots during the summer. Puts out some the ugliest clothes and shoes retail stores have ever seen. Tweets like he’s still in middle school. Acts like he’s devoted his life to religion and doesn’t behave like he’s religious at all except reading bible verses every now and then. Convinces himself he’s fighting for his family yet Kim wants nothing to do with him after almost filing a restraining order because of dozens of threats in which would do nothing but hurt his chances of seeing his kids. Tried to run for office when clearly he knows nothing about politics. Don’t matter how much money he has. He could be the richest man in the world and still be a joke.
dont forget he calls himself a genius… lol
As someone who’s worked for the guy he isn’t the double you try to portray him as. It’s not complicated. He’s actually one of the nicest people I’ve met but he’s a professional and most people who are have an insane work ethic and might be a little full of them selves, but ego is what is a necessity to thrive in this capitalist society. He’s innovated and since his divorce why is it he keeps moving up and up. I think that’s why people hate him. Kid CUCKI wears dresses and acts LGBT for sake of staying relevant. I like Pete Davidson until this ordeal but truth is dude ruined Mac Miller’s relationship and now that’s He’s off SNL and Kim’s throw away he won’t be talked about or be in shit a year from now. He’s black listed and if the public doesn’t see that they don’t get how Hollywood works. A call from Kanye or Kim to every movie studio, most of whom are parented by the companies that own the music labels is the kiss of death to Sketes career.
P.S , as a sound engineer employed by one of the biggest labels in the world. This has been a great public show. Kanye keeps winning.
They bitch made for hooking up with that ho.
