Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson poked some fun at the celebrity love triangle he’s found himself embroiled in during his set at Netflix is a Joke: The Festival, and the footage has since made its way online. Following the very public and widely-reported on split between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Davidson had become a part of the story by striking up a romance with Kardashian. Davidson and West have since been feuding, and some new shots are fired in the Netflix festival clip which you can watch below.
It was perhaps expected for Davidson to address this situation as the elephant in the room. He kicked off the Kanye West jokes by referencing the time West had allegedly spread rumors about him having AIDS. Davidson jokes that he actually went and got himself checked for the disease based on West’s comments as the hip hop mogul is such a “genius.” As Davidson puts it:

Davidson goes on to criticize West for hitting him with a slight that he perceives to be very outdated. The comic then makes another 90s reference by joking about how funny it would be if West had tried to pull off a scam similar to the plot of Mrs. Doubtfire, the Robin Williams comedy about a divorced dad pretending to be an elderly housekeeper for his ex-wife in order to spend more time with his children.

Pete Davidson also touches on how the reaction he gets when he goes outside is “always 50/50,” as strangers will either tell him he’s cool or angrily swear at him. He also brings up how people have constantly asked him about his friendship with rapper Jack Harlow, who’s featured on Kanye’s new album. Davidson uses his comedy to explain how the guest appearance doesn’t bother him, as Harlow is just doing what rappers do.
There hasn’t been any word yet on West’s opinion on Davidson’s new material.
