Pete Davidson finally breaks silence on feud with Kanye West during live roast

Pete Davidson has publicly referenced his long-running feud with Kanye West for the first time, using the moment during a high-profile comedy roast to directly acknowledge the viral dispute that once dominated pop culture headlines.

The comedian made the remark while performing at the Kevin Hart Roast in Los Angeles, where he addressed multiple celebrity targets in front of a live audience, including a surprise nod to his past conflict with West.

The feud between Davidson and West originally escalated in 2022 during Davidson’s relationship with Kim Kardashian, when West repeatedly attacked the comedian on social media, used derogatory nicknames, and released controversial content referencing him.

During the roast, Davidson finally broke his silence on the matter with a blunt, self-deprecating joke referencing the intensity of the public backlash he faced at the time.

“I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better…” he quipped, prompting a strong reaction from the audience and quickly circulating online.

The comment marked the first time Davidson has directly acknowledged the feud in a public comedy setting, years after the situation unfolded across social media and entertainment headlines.

West, who has remained a frequent subject of public controversy, was not present at the event but was one of several celebrities referenced during the night’s performances.

The roast itself featured multiple comedians and guest appearances, continuing the tradition of sharp, no-holds-barred celebrity comedy, with Davidson’s remark becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the evening.
