The 44-year-old Yeezy designer slammed Davidson (28), shortly after the comedian returned to Instagram on Thursday February 17th. He wrote, “HI SKETE YOU GET ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?” Along with his shady caption West also included a screenshot of an October 2018 episode SNL in which Davidson talked about the rapper’s mental illness struggles.
“You know how bad about politics it has to be for me to notice?” The King Of Staten Island star stated that on “Weekend Update”, referring to West’s pro Donald Trump comments during his musical performance a week earlier. You know how irritating that is. Kanye is not only a genius, but a musician genius. Kanye, I get it. You’re probably thinking, “Yo, this’s the real me. I’m off my meds.” But, take [them]. There is no shade in the medicine game.”
Davidson wore a “Make Kanye 2006 Again” hat at the time. He was candid about his mental health issues and said: “Being mentally ill does not mean you have to act like a jackass. I am quoting my therapist and my mom as well as my mailman.
Kim Kardashian started dating West after she filed for divorce in February 2021. This was shortly after her Saturday Night Live hosting debut. The 41-year-old Skims founder made a joke about West’s divorce during her opening monologue.
“SNL made my wife say “I divorced him” on TV. They just wanted to raise the bar and have never seen the papers. We are not even divorcing,” the “Ultralight Beam” performer stated during a November 2021 interview on Revolt’s podcast, “Drink Champs”. “So how do we — it’s not a joke to me that my children want their parents to remain together. I want them to be with their parents.
Two months later, West brought up Kardashian’s SNL appearance again. She claimed that she was trying to “antagonize” him by kissing Davidson in one sketch. “How are you going to bring me to SNL, then kiss my dude you’re dating right before me?” West said in a January interview with Hollywood unlocked.
Davidson isn’t the only SNL cast members that West has publicly criticized in his ongoing divorce drama. The producer offered to pay “Weekend Update’ cohost Michael Che for him to quit the variety show and to stop working with Davidson. “@chethinks they’ll DOUBLE WHATEVER YOU PAY YOU JUST SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PAWN EVER AGAIN BIG Love,” the “Stronger” rapper posted on Instagram.
The Michaelche: Shame on the Devil star, 38. He rejected the offer in an unrecorded social media post. Che said, “Sorry Ye,” but he would never betray his friends.” He then joked that he was willing to take a TRIPLE salary. “That’s right, $90k per annum!” Che continued, asking West for benefits, paid time off, and a corner job.
He said: “Plus, a couple of Red Octobers. Size 12. Size 12. You have to tell me what you will wear to work on the previous night so that we look like twins. Do that for me and I’ll Rambo the whole building.
