"Ask Pete how those tattoos of my kids doing in the trauma unit"
Summary
Kanye West reignited his feud with Pete Davidson during an Instagram rant in September 2022, making a pointed reference to Davidson's tattoos of West's children's initials and asking how they were doing "in the trauma unit." This comment came months after West had previously threatened and verbally attacked Davidson, who had dated West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian from October 2021 until August 2022.During their relationship, Davidson had grown close to Kardashian and West's four children - North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm - even getting their initials tattooed on his neck. Earlier in 2022, West had released a
music video for his song
"Eazy" that depicted him kidnapping and burying a cartoon version of Davidson, while rapping about "beating Pete Davidson's ass."When Kardashian and Davidson broke up in August, West posted a fake New York Times front page declaring "SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28," which he later removed after Kardashian was reportedly "livid" about it. Sources indicated Davidson had to seek "trauma therapy" to deal with the triggers caused by West's repeated attacks.West's social media rant extended beyond Davidson to include his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner and Kardashian herself. He shared private text messages with Kardashian where he demanded they talk in person about their children's schooling, making comments about her being "half white" and stating their children would not "do playboy and sex tapes."West also made disparaging remarks about Travis Scott, Scott Disick, and Tristan Thompson, referring to them as "c-m donors" due to their relationships with other Kardashian-Jenner family members. The tirade came after West had admitted that his addiction to pornography had "destroyed" his family.*There may be errors on this page.
