Comedian Pete Davidson has potentially reignited his long-standing feud with rapper Kanye West after making a controversial joke during a comedy roast in Los Angeles. Appearing on stage at the Kia Forum on Sunday night for 'The Roast of Kevin Hart,' Davidson delivered a series of jokes targeting several public figures, including the late Charlie Kirk, Tony Hinchcliffe, Lizzo, and Kanye West.
Pete Davidson's Joke About Kanye West
During his set, Davidson referenced his past conflict with West, stating: 'I was in a beef with Kanye, so I've taken shots from better gay Nazis.' The remark appeared to mock West over his controversial public statements praising Adolf Hitler and Nazi ideology, which began in 2022. In recent months, West had publicly apologized for antisemitic remarks and reportedly took out a full-page newspaper advertisement expressing regret.
Background of the Feud
The tension between Davidson and West originally escalated in 2022 during Davidson's relationship with Kim Kardashian, West's ex-wife. At the time, West repeatedly targeted Davidson online, calling him 'Skete' and posting disturbing content referencing violence against the comedian. The feud drew widespread media attention and sparked debates about online harassment and celebrity behavior.
Online Reactions and Potential Response
Davidson's latest joke quickly sparked reactions on social media, with many users expressing surprise and amusement. Others are now waiting to see whether West will respond publicly again. The incident highlights the ongoing friction between the two celebrities and the unpredictable nature of their public interactions.
