The drama continues. Kanye West was quick to slam Pete Davidson (again) shortly after the Saturday Night Live star made his return to Instagram.
“HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?,” the Illinois native, 44, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 17, using his nickname for Davidson, 28, instead of his given name.
Alongside his shady caption, West included a screenshot from Davidson’s SNL appearance in which he discussed the rapper’s mental health struggles.
“You know how wrong about politics you have to be for, like, me to notice?” the King of Staten Island star previously said during a September 2018 “Weekend Update” appearance, slamming West’s pro-Donald Trump remarks during his musical performance one week earlier. “You know how annoying that is? Like, Kanye is a genius but, like, a musical genius. … Kanye, I know you’re like ‘Yo, this is the real me, I’m off the meds,’ but take [them]. There’s no shade in the medicine game.”
Davidson, who donned a “Make Kanye 2006 Again” cap during the segment, continued at the time: “Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass. I’m quoting my therapist, my mom, and my mailman.”
West’s recent comments came hours after Davidson rejoined Instagram after a nearly four-year hiatus. While the comedian — who began dating West’s estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, in October 2021 — has yet to post anything on his new page, he already follows the Skims mogul, 41, and actor Sebastian Stan. West, for his part, also gave Davidson’s page a follow.
Earlier this month, the Yeezy designer initially made headlines after publicly dissing Davidson in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts.
