Pete Davidson’s best friend slams Kanye West’s ‘thuggish’ attacks on comic as rapper ‘decapitates him’ in music video
PETE Davidson’s best friend slammed Kanye West’s “thuggish” attacks on the Saturday Night Live comic as the Donda rapper “decapitated him” in the Eazy music video.
Comedian Ricky Velez, 32, shared his thoughts on Kanye’s feud with his King of Staten Island co-star.
Pete’s BFF shared his message in an Instagram Story, which then resurfaced on Reddit.
The text was written against a black background.
The Here’s Everything standup comic captioned his post: “Pete Davidson is my brother.
None of this is funny to me nor entertaining.”
Ricky then accused the Flashing Lights singer of “internet thugging.”
The Nightly Show correspondent argued that the situation “is just sad.”

THE MUSIC VIDEO
Ricky’s response came after Ye’s new music video featured a diss aimed at Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend.
In the claymation segment, the Donda 2 rapper is depicted of kidnapping the 28-year-old comedian and putting a bag over his head.
As the music vid continued, the rap star tied up Kim’s new man and drove him around inside a four-wheeler to an abandoned area.
After burying the Suicide Squad actor in the abandoned area, Pete is shown with flowers growing out of his head.
THE REACTIONS
Sources close to Pete told Page Six that Kanye’s beef with him has gone too far.
One of the SNL’s pals said to the publication: “This is, for real, really scary.”
The I Want You Back actor’s friends seemed more concerned about the music video than he is.
Another friend added: “Pete doesn’t have a social profile, so most of the time he doesn’t even know what people are saying or doing.”
The animated video was released when Ye’s ex was officially declared legally single.
After nearly seven years of marriage, Kim filed for divorce from the controversial artist in February 2021.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum and the music star share their four kids: North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four; and Psalm, two.
‘FOR THE RECORD’
Ricky is not the only one who has come forward to Pete’s defense.
The E! star recently praised her boyfriend with a sweet social media message.
The TV star used the “like” feature on Twitter to display her stamp of approval on The Suicide Squad director’s sentiments regarding Pete and his true character.
This was her first “like” since January and only her second since last April.
Slither filmmaker James Gunn shared his feelings about the Suicide Squad actor on social media.
James tweeted: “For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know.
“A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect.”
