Pete Davidson Slams Kanye on 'SNL'
by EG
Most of America was shocked at Kanye West's behavior last week, but Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson was particularly offended by ye's behavior on the show. Fortunately for Pete, he has a forum to express his feelings. Read on for details.
During this week's edition of "Weekend Update" on NBC's Saturday Night Live, castmember Pete Davidson was brought out to talk about Kanye West, who was the musical guest during last week’s installment and ended the episode wearing a MAGA hat and giving a pro-Trump speech that was not aired.
Regarding the hat, Davidson said that West wore it all week and refuted the allegations West had made that he was told not to wear it. Davidson said he wished he had bullied West into not wearing the hat. He also noted that he wished someone had bullied himself into not donning a purple bucket hat he was photographed wearing with fiancée Ariana Grande.
Davidson didn’t pull any punches. “What Kanye said after we went off the air last week was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen while working here,” he said. He also poked some fun at himself. “You know how wrong about politics you have to be for me to notice?” he asked.
Davidson has always been very open about mental health and medicine, and he suggested that West should be back on his meds. “Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass,” he said. “I’m quoting my therapist, my mom, and my mailman.”
