Pete Davidson called former rival Kanye West a “gay Nazi” on Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart” on Sunday.
The comedian made off-color jokes at the rapper about his past anti-Semitic behavior, comparing fellow Roster star Tony Hinchcliffe to the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last September.
“Tony makes me think of Charlie Kirk. He’s definitely on camera making guys shoot down their throats,” Davidson said on stage, as the audience gasped.
He continued, “‘Kill Tony.’ Somebody please say, ‘Kill Tony.’ Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings. I was at odds with Kanye, so I took pictures from the better gay Nazis. ”
Davidson famously had a feud with West, 48, when he dated his ex-wife Kim Kardashian several years ago.
In 2022, the “Gold Digger” rapper spread rumors that Davidson had AIDS, was a drug addict, and was gay.
West also claimed that Davidson sent him a text message “bragging” about sleeping with Kardashian, 45.
A source close to Davidson told Page Six at the time that the Saturday Night Live alum was “ignoring all of the hate towards Kanye out of respect for Kim.”
Davidson and Kardashian’s nine-month romance ended in August 2022, three months before Kardashian finalized her divorce from West, with whom she has four children.
Kardashian is currently dating British racing driver Lewis Hamilton, West is married to model Bianca Sensori, and Davidson is dating Elsie Hewitt, who gave birth to their first child, daughter Scottie Rosie, in December.
In 2022, West went on several anti-Jewish outbursts, culminating in the “Flash Lights” artist being fired from several companies, including Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap.
In 2025, he provoked further backlash after professing his love for Adolf Hitler, calling himself a Nazi, and promoting products featuring images of swastikas on the Yeezy website.
Mr. West apologized in a Wall Street Journal ad earlier this year, claiming he was “not a Nazi.”
The Grammy winner also blamed his anti-Semitic behavior on a decades-old car accident that led to his bipolar disorder.
“I regret and deeply regret my actions in that situation, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change,” he wrote.
