It looks like Pete Davidson has quit Instagram… again.
Last week, the “Saturday Night Live” comedian suddenly joined the social media site, right in time to jump into his public feud with Kanye West.
He finally created his first post on Wednesday afternoon… and then deleted his entire account.
Pete Davidson Welcomes Fans To His Instagram Account… Then Deletes It?
On Wednesday afternoon, the comedian posted a video to his Instagram page, officially marking his first post.
“They’re letting me add my own dialogue to The Home,” he wrote in the caption. He can be heard snorting with humor over the dialogue in the video. He followed the caption up with the hashtags #welcometomyinstagram and #thisisthetypeofstuffyoucanbeexpecting.
However, fans were not expecting him to delete his entire Instagram account about twenty minutes later. The link that previously led fans to his page now just reads: “Sorry, this page isn’t available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.”
It’s not clear why Davidson may have deleted his Instagram account, especially because the video didn’t seem like a jab at Kanye. Well, at least that video didn’t. Davidson raised some eyebrows yesterday when he seemed to fire a shot at Ye with a link in his Instagram bio.
Pete Davidson Subtle Dig Seems To Imply That Kanye West Is A ‘Schmuck’
The link in Davidson’s bio led his fans to a 10-second clip from 1982’s “The King of Comedy,” which shows character Rupert Pupkin saying, “Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.”
The comments section immediately filled up with fans commenting on the feud.
“Agreed Pete – ya a f—en legend mate,” one wrote.
“Jokes aside, Pete is handling this with class. Ye keeps punching himself,” another commented.
“The irony of this Ye vs Pete thing is that Pete has said Kid Cudi saved his life through his music, Ye put Kid Cudi on so in a weird way Ye saved Pete’s life lol,” another shared. “But I’m proud of Pete for how he has been handling this whole ordeal. He’s really matured, hoping he’s doing okay.”
“D—, Pete firing sneaky shots,” another joked.
“Well said Pete!” another wrote.
Ye himself didn’t seem to comment on the video, but he did take a swipe at Pete during his “Donda 2” live stream last night.
Kanye West Isn’t Done Hurling Insults At Pete Davidson Just Yet!
As The Blast previously reported, the performance was mired by technical glitches.
Last night, Ye gave fans a preview of his new song, “Security,” which many fans deduced to be about Davidson. Ye raps: “Pop some, I ain’t getting frisked. I put your security at risk/ Pop some I ain’t getting frisked. I put your security at risk.”
The lyrics continue: “Ok we gon’ make this an event? y’all gone need security for this/ Security gon’ need security for this/ Never take the family picture off the fridge/ Never stand between a man and his kids/ Y’all ain’t got enough security for this. I put your security at risk. I make your security all quit, like ‘we ain’t gettin paid enough for this.”
The song seems to be about the threats that Ye had previously made about Pete Davidson. In one deleted post, he wrote: “THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY MY FAMILY MEANS MORE TO ME THAN ANY OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT IN LIFE IF ANYONE LOVES ME AND MY FAMILY IF YOU SEE SKETE IN REAL LIFE SCREAM AT YHE LOOSER AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS AND SAY KIMYE FOREVER.”
It seems that Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian, didn’t take too kindly to the insults. A day later, Kanye posted a text exchange between them.
In the text message, Kim writes, “There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn’t have to be.”
Ye responds, “I will always do everything to protect you and our family forever. And I listened to you and told everyone to make sure nothing physical happens to Skete.”
Ye has also previously shared a private message that was apparently sent to him by Pete himself: “As a man I’d never get [in the] way of your children. [That’s] a promise. How you guys [go about] raising your kids is [your business] and not mine. I do [hope one] day I can meet them and we [can] all be friends.”
It remains to be seen when or if Pete decides to rejoin Instagram.
