Kanye West is spreading rumors that Pete Davidson is a gay junkie who has AIDS

Kanye West is deeply unhappy. He is unhappy that his estranged wife is setting reasonable boundaries one year into their divorce. He is unhappy that Kim Kardashian has all of her legal ducks in a row and that she has her PR on lock. He is unhappy that Kim is dating Pete Davidson, who dresses like he shops at the mall. The basic gist: Ye is big mad, he’s salty as hell and he’s lashing out A LOT. Currently, he’s directing his ire at Kim and Pete exclusively. Kanye is apparently starting rumors that Pete has AIDS. I cannot even believe this is happening, but TMZ and Page Six’s sources are swearing up and down that Kanye has been telling multiple people that.

Despite spending years developing a reputation as a devout Christian rapper who hosted Sunday Services and ceased cursing on his albums, Kanye West has turned a corner and is allegedly spreading unfounded rumors that Pete Davidson is gay and has AIDS.

The Yeezy designer first made his disdain for estranged wife Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend known when he threatened him in his new track “Eazy,” rapping, “God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”

But now sources tell us that West, 44, has escalated this one-sided feud by spreading the rumors to anyone who will listen. Our sources also alleged that West, who is very publicly dating actress Julia Fox, is telling people that Davidson, 28, is a junkie in addition to threatening that he’s going to have the “Saturday Night Live” star beaten up.

A source close to West, however, called the claims “nonsense,” while a source close to Davidson told us, “He’s ignoring all of the Kanye hate out of respect for Kim.”

Our info echoes DJ Akademiks’ comments on Twitch earlier this week in which he claimed West is “going crazy with himself… A n—a told me, this is real talk, Kanye has been telling anyone within an earshot of himself, he’s trying to spread a rumor that Pete Davidson has AIDS. I’m telling you this is a fact. I’ve heard this from eight people. He’s telling everybody! I’m telling you, this is a fact. Bruh, if you gotta spread a rumor that the n—a f–kin’ your wife got AIDS, you burnt out, bro. Wrap it up. It’s over.”

[From Page Six]

It’s so childish, so immature, so nasty, so disgusting and so believable that Kanye would think that he was being so slick. I totally believe the little wheels in Kanye’s head were chugging away at this: “I’ll tell everybody that Pete has AIDS!” It’s 2022. That sh-t is pathetic, damaging and Kanye deserves to be massively called out.

Incidentally, Page Six had a follow-up from Team Kardashian, in which sources said that Kim and Pete are “really happy” together and “Kim truly wants Kanye to be at peace with their marriage being over and find happiness, whether it’s with Julia [Fox] or someone else, so they can focus on raising their children together in a more positive way.” Another source told Page Six that while Kanye believes that spreading rumors about Pete will convince Kim to run back to him, he’s actually bringing Kim and Pete closer together. Which I believe, and I’m now kind of convinced that Kim is with Pete because he’s the Anti-Kanye. Kim can just be chill and go to movies with Pete or go mall-shopping (lol) and not have to listen to MAGA tantrum-rants. That must be so relaxing for her after years of dealing with Kanye’s bulls–t.

    if any of this is true, this man is starting to appear unstable…..

    • Seaflower says:

      Again.

    • MsIam says:

      Starting to appear? Lol! If this was anybody but rich Kanye West we would be talking restraining order.

      • Kelly S says:

        “RIch” Kanye, who constantly refers to himself as the Richest Black Man. (Actually, he’s only the second-richest black man.) Imagine being so ego-deficient that you have to constantly flout your wealth and supposed “genius.” He is the worst POS ever.

      • Debbie says:

        If Kanye West is the 2nd richest Black man, then I don’t know my rich Black men! Trust me, he’s in that category the way Trump is a White billionaire. He may be a billionaire but he’s not a rich billionaire – at least he wasn’t before he got his hands on the levers of government.

      • Kelly S says:

        Debbie, you’re right. From what I’ve read, a lot of his wealth is based on the projected earnings of Yeezy and the Gap deal (that’s a lot of ugly sneakers and sweatshirts, yo), which is in the billions – but how can they possibly estimate that? The market for hideous footwear may collapse tomorrow. What he actually has is $122M cash and $110 million from his music catalog, which is nothing to sneeze at, but still. Upon examination, he’s not the richest. Forbes says he’s only worth $1.8 billion, far behind Oprah, Jordan, and a lot of white people.

    • Jennifer says:

      He’s been unstable for years!

      Seriously, this rumor is what, out of the Reagan era?

      • minx says:

        That was my first reaction, this is a dusty old accusation from about 35 years ago. Nobody cares.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        Pretty sure he was a toddler when the rumors of AIDS started coming out. Also, pretty sure no woman is genuinely with him because of his “great” personality. And, I include Kim K. in that bsittery. She has demonstrated being on a higher level them him though.

      • Debbie says:

        @Agreatreckoning: Really? Kim K is better than Kanye? Hmm. This is the same woman who at first tried to distance herself from Kanye’s MAGA support & statements. Then, more recently, she confessed that she actually admires Kanye’s stating his MAGA opinions out loud and not caring who disagrees with him. Kim goes where the wind (and the money) blows. They are a perfect match.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        @Debbie, only in terms of not seeing Kim going after Kanye’s girlfriends like he’s been going after Pete.

      • Kate says:

        Forgive me if this reference has already been made, but is he also homeless and “new in town”? 🙂

      • Dottie says:

        A John Mulvaney reference! Well done!

    • Andrew's Nemesis says:

      This is beyond wicked of Kanye. To spread a rumour about a disease which has brought so much misery to millions, and to represent it as a ‘gay disease’ like something from the 80s (when we should be concentrating on lessening the stigma), is a vile, vile thing to do. How many more allowances are going to be made for this utterly toxic individual?

    • Mama says:

      Starting? And media and celebrity sites are eating it up, sharing it, and helping him spread lies.

    • serena says:

      “Starting” ..no, it’s been going on for a while.

  2. Gobo says:

    How embarassing. Imagine being 44 years of age and behaving like this.

  3. Bettyrose says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s taking cues from his orange bestie. That’s exactly who this sounds like.

    • Dutch says:

      This is pretty straight from the Kanye playbook. He made degrading comments about Amber Rose for years after they split and he started dating KK. Dude is just an exhausting garbage person.

    • Owch says:

      I definitely get SNL putinSpin vibes off of the supposed Kanye rumour mill.

    • bettyrose says:

      I don’t even get it. There’s always been rumors that Kanye is gay, but I suspect he’s Kanye-sexual. Still, like, why does he think Pete Davidson would lie about being gay? He wouldn’t even be the only openly gay cast member on SNL.

      • SomeChick says:

        he doesn’t even think it out that far. he’s just saying what he thinks would be most hurtful. he’s such a potatohead, and a garbage person. Ye is more gay than Petey D.

        thanks for making me feel sympathy for Kim, LOSER!

      • stagaroni says:

        @bettyrose, Kanye needs to drag his own beady-eyed, leather-clown-suit wearing self out of the closet before he starts pointing fingers at anyone else.

  4. BlueSky says:

    Why don’t you just tell everyone Pete has cooties??? My lord, this man needs help. He thinks this is going to work when it is having the opposite effect.

  5. Janet says:

    He is so toxic. I would love to live in a world where we ignore a**holes who crave attention. People like kanye and the orange one.

  6. Nan says:

    Ye is probably working up to a major showdown of some kind, Julia should quit playing her cards and run. I don’t know enough about Pete yet, so …Team Kim, I guess? (though I think all the Kardashians are disgustingly greedy).

  7. Noki says:

    Well thats the problem with constantly running your mouth with unhinged talking points. Even if its not true its sounds like something Kanye would spew. Smh

  8. Mimi says:

    If true, not cool. #growup

  9. Tiffany says:

    Pete can sue at this point, right?

    That tweet from the DJ can be evidence for Pete.

    • Truthiness says:

      Pete is just going to keep being the irl Kramer from Seinfeld, falling ass backwards into notorious adventures. He loves rappers, he loves Kanye, and this is just another who-would-have-thought entry for a guy who was a nobody from Staten Island who struggles with mental health and lost his dad on 9/11. His friends from SNL are probably saying to him “what, now THIS is hilarious”

      • Christine says:

        I am at odds, with all of this. We are having a conversation about many people, who have obviously serious mental health issues I would love them to deal with, instead of all of whatever this is.

        It’s funny, from my kitchen while I’m steaming vegetables, but this is layers upon layers of disfunction, and that is not funny.

  10. Amy Bee says:

    Kim’s a Republican so I don’t think she ever had a problem with Kanye’s MAGA rants. I think she may have even visited the Trump White House before Kanye. But anyway, if this is true, what Kanye is doing is terrible and only stigmatizes people who have drug addictions and those who live with HIV/AIDS.

  11. Wendy says:

    of course Kanye is an unstable, gross, sophomoric ass…

    Why are we still pretending Kim and Pete are a thing? How is that AstroWorld thing going?

  12. Jay says:

    Well, so long as he’s not bitter about her moving on or anything like that…

    Seriously, though, whoever is representing him in the sure-to-come custody battle with Kim must be pulling out chunks of their hair in frustration.

    • Jennifer says:

      Right up there with being Trump’s lawyer for “my client is a stupid foot-shooting dumbass.”

  13. ooshpick says:

    ridiculous. this holds no stigma for me. just as there is no stigma for having mental illness. there is stigma, however, for being a schoolyard bully and trying to control those people you supposedly love. get off it Kanye. I couldn’t have lost more respect for you.

  14. Peppes says:

    He used to be addicted to opioids himself and is literally dating an ex sex worker who used to be addicted to heroin ( not attacking julia but Kanyes hypocrisy) so it’s ironic this is what he is spreading. Both the gay part and drug part sound like projection tbh…

  15. WhoElse says:

    The saddest part of all this is that West would probably lose badly in a physical altercation with Davidson, or really any male over the age of 15. He strikes me as extremely effete and fragile, the kind of person that flips out and carries on over a paper cut. He’s a total loser, I just hope Kim is able to insulate the children from him before he gets where we all know this is headed.

  16. Peppes says:

    There was also a rumour posted on deuxmoi that Kanye hired a bunch of men dressed as Kanye ( masks and get up) to intimidate Pete outside SNL but it was the weekend Taylor Swift was there and Taylor security team had them removed for her safety 😂 so by the time Pete left the building they weren’t there.

    • Barbie1 says:

      Taylor saved his life lol. She does not f*ck around

    • Jennifer says:

      He pulled that on a *Taylor Swift* week?!? Wow, that’s even dumber of him. SHE DON’T LIKE YOU DUDE.

    • J.Mo says:

      And I just realized that I want Taylor and Pete to bake cookies together and be besties.

    • HeyJude says:

      LOL, I just spit out my drink everywhere, but why TF would a bunch of people in Kanye masks “intimidate” him?!

      It’s just people in masks, he probably wouldn’t haven’t even known it was Kanye and just thought fans were clowning him.

  17. Jules says:

    This is not news, this is not fun gossip. This is just a sick, unstable person looking for attention. This should be in his medical records and that’s it.

    • J.Mo says:

      Do you mean Kanye’s medical records? Because he definitely just made this up. It’s despicable on so many levels including the fact that Pete does have a chronic medical condition but Kanye thinks AIDS and HIV is better to make fun of.

      • Jules says:

        Of course Kanye’s medical records, I’m not talking about Pete. Pete has nothing to do with any of this.

    • sunny says:

      I know Kanye has mental health issues but this is deeply dangerous behaviour. He is endangering people and as much as I loath Kim I hope she and her babies stay safe.

      • N0b0dy says:

        Exactly! His issues don’t excuse his constant disgusting behaviour. His obsession with Pete seems more about trying to fux w/ Kim. Plus defending rapists I can’t with him.

  18. JustMe says:

    The picture of the thirsty one and him touching tongues was so disturbing. She is not coming across as even remotely likeable whereas Pete has a charm about him. She actually reminds me of Nico Mary, Pitts married fling, they are both beautiful yet bland

  19. Colby says:

    This is how you know Julia is just in it for the clout. Anyone else seeing their new boyfriend obsessing over his ex wife like this, to the point of spreading rumors about her BF, would run for the hills.

    • Jennifer says:

      Eh, if she’s using him for the fame boost and free clothes, fine. What else is he good for in a “relationship?” That said, give it another two weeks before that’s over.

  20. T says:

    Sounds like slander to me. Kanye has a platform and people listen. If I were Pete, I’d be talking to lawyers – at least a formal cease and desist letter. Ye needs to be shut down. This is absolutely disgusting and he should be held accountable.

    • Jan90067 says:

      For his own safety, he should also get a restraining order. Kanye is obsessed and he’s going to keep harassing him/them. While Kim has security, I doubt Pete does.

      I’d also see a lawyer and sue for defamation/slander/libel…whichever this is (non-atty here…my Dick Wolf School of Law degree doesn’t cover this!)

      • Chaine says:

        You can’t just get a restraining order because someone is lying about you or saying mean things. You have to show there is a credible threat to your physical safety.

      • Jaded says:

        @Chaine – if this rumour is true, wouldn’t the fact that Kanye sent a bunch of men dressed as him to intimidate Pete outside SNL count as a credible threat? I also read that Jake Paul has been loudly proclaiming “team Kanye” and has offered to beat the crap out of Pete. That, IMHO, constitutes a threat and Ye is so mentally unstable that I’d be on the phone to my lawyer ASAP to at least get a cease and desist letter sent.

    • Barbie1 says:

      100% just like Trump there is no stopping a liar with money. I wish it were possible.

  21. Rapunzel says:

    I think Kanye just can’t stand Kim pulled the plug on the marriage. He wants her back so he can end it.

    This is the worst way to go about trying to draw her back in. And given the MAGA propensity for projection, I wonder if Ye isn’t the gay junkie with AIDS. And that is only half joking.

    • Jay says:

      Isn’t it funny that all his projection does is tell us exactly what would bother Kanye – he’d probably be aghast if someone accused him of shopping at a mall, for example, while I doubt it bothers Pete in the slightest. If anything, it makes him look good just by comparison to such a raging homophobe. Who knows why Kanye seems to believe that being gay would be the worst thing you could say about somebody in 2022, but obviously he does…

      I think for most comedians, the worst thing you could say about them would be that they stole someone else’s material, not about drugs or their sexuality.

    • Jennifer says:

      He may have given up on the “trying to woo her back” and now is just being a difficult dick. As men will do.

  22. Harla says:

    My sister, who barely follows any celeb gossip, asked me what’s the allure of Pete Davidson and I told her exactly that, he’s probably easy going, funny and kind. I did also add the rumors about his big D energy and that it’s not a bad thing 😃

    • J.Mo says:

      I love seeing Pete in interview with women or talking about women he admires, he’s so respectful. He’s close to his mother and it shows that she’s a great person.

    • Kkat says:

      I literally just said the same thing last night explaining Pete to my son 😂

  23. Tw says:

    Kanye is trash and I know this is wrong, but I’m waiting for him to break the NDA and spill the real Kardashian secrets. I think the Kardashians exemplify everything that is wrong in the world.

    • Barbie1 says:

      One can only hope. That would be incredible.

    • Otaku fairy says:

      Kanye is the type of ex who would definitely stoop to some revenge porn tactics if he could. While neither he nor the Kardashians are great for society, his behavior has been significantly worse. With the things he’s been showing himself to be capable of, he would be a scary thing to egg on. But this situation proves that Kanye isn’t above lying, so not everything he says can be trusted either. A lot of times angry men and are given the benefit of the doubt in anything they have to say about women who aren’t likable. Sometimes these kinds of issues are even seen as proof that an angry man must be a reliable narrator.

      • “A lot of times angry men and are given the benefit of the doubt in anything they have to say about women who aren’t likable. Sometimes these kinds of issues are even seen as proof that an angry man must be a reliable narrator.”

        THIS. Hell, it’s evident right on this site–over in the thread about Damon Albarn claiming Taylor Swift (and other women) doesn’t write her own music, there are people straight-up defending him because of the “esteem” they hold him in. 🤮 It’s amazing, the crap men get away with.

      • KTate says:

        @Otakufairy I am DEFINITELY using those last two sentences from now on.

    • teecee says:

      As if they couldn’t reveal things about him that are far more damaging lol…This man most likely sent one of his paid stooges to intimidate Georgia election workers in an attempt to steal the election! Sorry but no amount of lying about plastic surgery or culture vulturing compares to that.

      • superashes says:

        Word. No one needs to ‘both sides’ this nonsense. Kanye is just garbage. All you have to do is google reports from people that used to work for him. He has always been this dude. He has always been a jerk that thought he was better than everyone else, KK included, and now that she isn’t interested he doesn’t know what to do because it is seriously fracturing his narcissistic worldview.

    • Turtledove says:

      “Kanye is trash and I know this is wrong, but I’m waiting for him to break the NDA and spill the real Kardashian secrets”

      If anything, this is all making me think there are no real secrets TO spill. he hardly seem,s capable of controlling himself, if he had damaging info to leak, I feel like he would have already.

  24. Izzy says:

    If this is true, I hope Pete gets the evidence he needs and dogwalks Ye through court, Cardi B-style.

  25. Mich says:

    Kanye is an unstable man with a God-complex who views women as possessions. As far as I am concerned, he is dangerous. He doesn’t understand right and wrong or boundaries. All he understands is what he wants.

    Has it ever been confirmed if he, personally, sent that woman to threaten the Georgia election worker?

  26. Kiki says:

    Oddly, Azealia Banks has been posting about JFox being a heroin addict….

    • Courtney says:

      Now there’s a match made in heaven (or hell) lol. Kanye West and Azealia Banks. Downtown LA would be a crater in the ground in a month.

  27. Ennie says:

    I know Pete is a nice person, but to lease enlighten me… why does Kim go for men with mental health issues? As what happened to Lamar and the other copycat sister. Why do they do that?

  28. Luna17 says:

    And yet some woman is still dating this pos. I’m not saying Julia Fox is a gold digger, but I don’t see her dating a mentally ill poor man. She has no shame if this is who you are standing by. Can Kanye just go away forever now and get some mental help and just stop terrorizing us all?

    • Lucy says:

      All I can think is that they’re so used to drrrraaaaaamaaaaa, stability feels boring. Also, there’s probably intense love bombing at the beginning. Pete does seem like a kind guy who at the least is aware of and working on his mental health.

  29. ME says:

    I feel sorry for Pete. He should really end things with Kim for his own peace of mind and mental health. He doesn’t need this drama. He’s in LA right now filming a new movie. He has his career to focus on. Kim is probably loving all the attention and media press. She lives for this sh*t.

    • Otaku fairy says:

      I’m a little worried about Pete because of Kanye’s behavior. He had a hard time in his first celebrity relationship when people were calling him ugly and not good enough for his partner (and probably other stuff too). Now he’s got a celebrity talking about wanting to beat him up and spreading rumors about him having AIDS.

  30. Otaku fairy says:

    He is vile. There are some problems that should not be turned into an insult because some adult just isn’t getting their way, needs to win an argument, and doesn’t like somebody. Disabilities and health issues like AIDS fall into that category, and sexual abuse falls into that category too. When human decency doesn’t kick in to stop someone from stooping that low, it says more about the one doing the targeting than the actual target.
    Kanye needs to find healthy, mature ways to deal with breakups and his exes moving on. This sets a bad example for young men.

  31. Mina_Esq says:

    Pete used to have a comedy set where he talked about regularly going to the free clinic and getting tested for STD and AIDS. I bet Kanye was on YouTube obsessing over Pete, saw the video, and then came up with this idiotic rumour.

  32. Jezz says:

    Ugh — the homophobia in his horrific gossip is revolting and brings me back to the awful days in the 70s and 80s when hateful slurs about gay people were not only accepted, they were absolutely commonplace.
    I recall Amber saying that Kanye liked finger/butt play, and he freaked out — I think he is PETRIFIED of being gay, which is why he feels such comments are insulting.
    POS.

  33. teehee says:

    So he’s admitting, women would rather be with a gay man with AIDS than with him.

    Good that he finally realizes this.

  34. Flffgrrrlr says:

    This is so revealing of this man’s prejudices. I’ll leave it at that.

  35. A says:

    This is just such juvenile and reprehensible behaviour. Literally middle school level garbage. Not that I expect any better from Kanye, but still. He really can’t think anyone believes this sh-t or that he has any credibility, so the only reason he’s spreading it is bc he’s an immature little jack-ss. The only thing left for him to do is stick his tongue out and go “nyah nyah nyah Pete Davidson is a doo-doo head!!!!!” Eyeroll.

  36. Lola says:

    Kim Kardashian probably spent her entire adolescence from age 12 to 21 and more hanging out at the mall and enjoying it. She’s a mall girl through and through if there ever was one. If Pete goes to the mall that probably makes him the dream guy of her inner 12 year old and Kanye is really stupid if he doesn’t get that.

  37. HeyKay says:

    Kanye, Kim, Pete what a group of attention seeking, over paid “talent”.
    Pete better be getting some $$ from PMK for all the free PR.

    • HeyKay says:

      At first I just commented knee jerk reaction to the headline. Reading thru these comments I realize that I had forgotten so much of Kanyes past behavior.

      Kayne truly needs to get serious mental health treatment and follow it.

      The above post about a restraining order for Kim and also Pete might be a very good idea.
      Sending a group of men in Kanye masks to SNL, Petes job? If anything happened like that to a non-celebrity the Police/Security would be called.
      Nice job by Taylor Swifts security team! That is what they are hired to do.

  38. Well Wisher says:

    I really like Pete Davidson.

  39. Courtney says:

    Kim was only with Kanye because she thought she could get some “street cred” marrying a popular rapper, since most people just see her as a vapid reality star. Her black culture appropriation incidents have kind of put her on a sh*t list with black women. Being who she is, I wouldn’t be surprised if that worried her when it came to marketing Skims. That’s a big demographic to alienate. Did marrying a black man fix all those problems for her? Everything is about business with her, so I wouldn’t doubt it if she thought so. If that IS the case, it’s kind of sh*tty to use a mentally ill man like that, and also ridiculous to be surprised that he’s angry when he figures it out. I’m Team No One here, but she certainly can’t blame Kayne if he doesn’t trust her now.

    • nikomikaelx says:

      You just made all of that up, just so you could say “if thats true.:” . Also no matter how mad Kanye is to Kim, why is he trashing Pete? He’s being wildly homophobic.
      In this case Kanye is clearly the one being wrong.

  40. jferber says:

    Nicole Brown’s ex started rumors that she had AIDS, too. Also false.

  41. Valerie says:

    I’d call him garbage, but I think at this point, even the raccoons would turn their noses up at him.

  42. Robin Samuels says:

    Kanye has been a loose cannon since his mother died. He is diagnosed as bipolar. I’m sure Kim has witnessed both sides many times.

  43. Veronica Rhodes says:

    I actually don’t believe this and surprised many are falling for it. This just seems like Kardashians. Kayne has never not spoken with his full chest. Loud and wrong but will say it. I don’t believe it and I think it’s low even for them but also shows desperation.

  44. Nuks says:

    Did anyone else hear the impromptu radio interview of Kanye by Kevin Ryder of KROQ years ago? It was at the end of the Kevin & Bean show in LA and they were just ending and suddenly Kanye wandered into the studio (he was doing another appearance on another station in the same building, I guess).

    Kevin handled it like a pro, and he was a tolerant fan, but I’ll never forget quickly realizing, this person is completely manic. It was like walking into the 5150 ward at Cedars Sinai. Just complete word salad. Never heard anyone like that in press. His people (if they were there, I dunno; it was radio) did nothing. He was having a complete episode, or maybe that was the way he always is, but the man absolutely needs care and medication and should not be running around like a sideshow. It’s just sad. The comments on Pete are lucid as hell in comparison.

  45. AmyB says:

    This isn’t even funny to me. Sorry, this is starting to have like OJ Simpson vibes, like – if I can’t have her, no one will. I hope it doesn’t fucking escalate to that, but we are talking about someone with serious, well-documented mental health issues. I am no fan of the Kardashians, but this is disturbing to me …. Kayne’s behavior keeps getting more erratic, and worse.

  46. detritus says:

    I wonder how Billy Porter feels about gay and AIDS being used as an insult.

  47. The Recluse says:

    The worrisome thing is that he might be escalating.
