Pete Davidson reignited his ongoing feud with Kanye West during The Roast of Kevin Hart on May 10 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, delivering a provocative joke that labeled West a “gay Nazi” amidst a series of other comedic digs.

The remark references Kanye West’s controversial statements and public embrace of Nazism that have surfaced since 2022, including disturbing posts in early 2025 where he declared, “IM A NAZI” and “I LOVE HITLER NOW!”

Davidson’s jab comes after West publicly mocked him, during Davidson’s relationship with West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, which lasted about nine months from October 2021 to August 2022.

West’s hostility included the derogatory nickname “Skete” for Davidson and a music video that depicted violence against the comedian, illustrating the intensity of their feud.

Davidson’s comments came at a time when West had recently attempted to mitigate backlash from his antisemitic remarks by placing an apology ad in the Wall Street Journal, though this was followed by a series of alarming declarations on social media.

The nature of Davidson’s humor and West’s recent remarks have drawn criticism and concern due to their troubling implications and the potential for further public conflict between the two celebrities.

Exchanges between the two have included Davidson’s plea for West to calm down during a tense period, showcasing the personal nature of their conflict and Davidson’s attempt to maintain peace for Kardashian’s children.

Observers are now left to wonder how Kanye West will respond to Davidson’s latest provocation, which appears designed to further escalate their well-documented rivalry.
