Kanye West is not keeping quiet about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s breakup with “Saturday Night Live” comedian Pete Davidson.
The 45-year-old recording artist shared a fake photo of a New York Times headline declaring, “Skete Davidson Dead At Age 28.” West had repeatedly called Davidson by the nickname “Skete” during their public feud that played out over several months earlier this year.
The image includes a smaller caption that says, “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”
For now, this trolling image is the only one on West’s Instagram account, which he has deleted and reinstated several times as the drama between him and Kardashian continues. It appears the “Flashing Lights” composer decided to start up his social media account again as news of Kardashian and Davidson’s breakup went public on Friday. The pair had been dating for nine months.
Fan reactions to West’s Instagram photo were mixed.
“You win the internet today bro,” one fan shared.
“God steppin in,” another person observed.
“Chillllllll,” someone else advised.
West was never thrilled that Davidson was dating Kardashian and went public with his concerns via social media. In March, the rapper released a music video for the song “Eazy” showing a claymation depiction of Davidson’s likeness getting buried alive.
That same month, screenshots of a text exchange between the two men went viral as Davidson shared a photo of himself shirtless in bed with Kardashian, responding to West’s question of where he was by saying, “In bed with your wife.”
Meanwhile, Kid Cudi was a mutual friend who got caught up in the drama. West shared in February, “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who,” referencing his connection to the comedian.
Cudi shot back saying, “Too bad I don’t want to be on your album you f***in’ dinosaur hahaha everyone knows I’ve been the best thing about your albums since I met you.”
This explains why West targeted Cudi on the faux New York Times headline, referencing a recent incident when the rap artist left the stage after fans wouldn’t stop throwing water bottles at him. The crowd was annoyed that Cudi had replaced West as the headliner at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, The Daily Wire previously reported.
