Friends Worried For Pete Davidson After 'Really Scary' Kanye West Video

Friends are concerned for Pete Davidson.
On Wednesday, rapper Kanye West released his “Eazy” music video on Instagram. In the video, a clay version of the “Donda” rapper can be seen putting a bag over a character’s head. The character looks suspiciously like the “Saturday Night Live” star who is currently dating Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian. He then ties up the character and drives him out to an abandoned area where he buries him up to his neck. He later holds up the decapitated head.

One friend of the “SNL” comedian told Page Six that “This is, for real, really scary.”
The lyrics for “Eazy” include the line “God saved me from that crash/ Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a--.”
On Wednesday night, Davidson made a quick return to Instagram before he deleted his account again. The friend explained that “Pete doesn’t have a social profile, so most of the time he doesn’t even know what people are saying or doing.”
It’s unclear if Davidson has seen the video, but if he has, he has not commented on it. However, this is far from the only time that Ye has taken aim at Davidson on social media.
Kanye West's Instagram Beef With Pete Davidson Started Mid-February
Although Pete and Kim have been linked for a while, things really started heating up on Super Bowl Sunday when Kanye started referring to Pete as “Skete” and started mocking him for supporting former presidential candidate Hilary Clinton.
“LOOK AT THIS D–KHEAD,” West wrote in the caption of a since-deleted photo on Instagram. “I WONDER IF INSTAGRAM GONNA SHUT DOWN MY PAGE FOR DISSING HILARY CLINTON’S EX-BOYFRIEND.”
“FOR EVERYONE MARRIED HOLD YOUR SPOUSE CLOSE MAKE SURE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM BECAUSE THERES A SKETE LURKING IN EVERY DIRTY A– ALLEY WAITING TO HELP DESTROY YOUR FAMILY AND WALK AROUND IN CALVIN KLEINS AROUND YOUR CHILDREN,” he later added.
He later seemed to indicate that he wanted Kim back and sent her a truck full of roses for Valentine's Day.
He then released another long Instagram post saying that he was not going to give up on his family.
“I DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH KIM I LOVE MY FAMILY SO STOP THAT NARRATIVE IM NOT GIVING UP ON MY FAMILY,” he wrote in another deleted photo. “I BOUGHT THIS COAT FOR KIM BEFORE SNL I THOUGHT IT WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL I HAVE FAITH THAT WE‘LL BE BACK TOGETHER I NEVER HAD ANYTHING AGAINST DAILYMAIL I GOT LOVE FOR EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA AND I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD I SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MEDIA OUTLETS THE SAME WAY A BALL PLAYER SPEAKS TO THE REFS THE WORLD IS OUR COURT LIKE A BASKETBALL COURT AND THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION WE HAVE A PUBLIC RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WE ARE PUBLIC FIGURES SO TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE PRESS SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY BUT TO BE IN LOVE IS TO BE CRAZY ABOUT SOMETHING AND I AM CRAZY ABOUT MY FAMILY HAPPY VALENTINES”
Many thought that it was possible that Kanye had been hacked. However, he posted a photo to show that was not the case.
In another photo, 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.”

He also took aim at Pete Davidson after he rejoined Instagram in February, although Pete deleted his account only about twenty minutes after his first post.
"HI SKETE," Kanye wrote in all-caps again. "YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?"

Although sources said that Pete later quit Instagram to focus on work, that didn't stop Kanye was trying to take credit.
"Ran Skete off the gram," Ye wrote in the caption of another Instagram post. "Tell your mother I changed your name for life."
