The release comes after a recent pile of Ye’s humiliating Instagram posts with Pete’s labels as “garbage”, “garbage” and “mukach”, all of which were shared as the rapper tried to resume things with Kim, who filed for divorce. him shortly before. a year ago.

Just as Kim and Pete began dating in late October, Ye began swearing at the actor with sharp messages online, in particular by coining the nickname “Skeet.” He was eventually summoned by Kim, according to alleged leaks, to compromise Pete’s safety after encouraging his followers to shout “Kimye forever” in his face if seen in public.
And Ye later boasted that he kicked Pete off Instagram when the comedian’s new account mysteriously disappeared from the platform after a series of insulting comments calling him “Skete” and telling him to “find God.”

But things seem to have gone from bad to worse since Ye’s new music video was released on Wednesday.
The sinister video depicts a caricature-like figure of Ye throwing a bag over the head of an animated Pete before transporting a bound body in a horrific abduction.
Ye’s remark continues to slide the body across the floor and bury it from the neck down, leaving only the bag-covered head. The prisoner’s face is then revealed, revealing a Pete-like figure caught underground.
The animated Ye then throws a bunch of plant seeds at Pete, which later causes roses to sprout from his head.
Even more disturbing, Ye also appears, holding the severed head of the cartoon in his hand at one point in the video as he raps to beat Pete Davidson’s ass. In doing so, Ye swings and even caresses the decapitated head.
At the end of the video, Ye refers to Pete with an alarming message shown on the screen.
“EVERYONE HAS LIVED HAPPYLY FOREVER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SKETE”, reads the short passage from the text, the word “SKETE” is crossed out and replaced with “YOU KNOW WHO” – a clear blow to the singer Billy Ailish, who followed her public month.
“JK HE’S FINE”, reads the last frame, which appears only for a short second before the video ends.
Interestingly, the alarming video was released just hours after Kim was finally declared unmarried in court, after a heated court battle with Ye over their divorce.

In fact, just weeks ago, Ye rejected Kim’s request to continue the divorce process while he publicly begged her for her back and kept calling her his wife.

So when news broke yesterday that Kim had received her legally unbound status in what was described as a huge victory for the tycoon, many were discouraged from seeing Ye’s music video, released just hours later.

Not surprisingly, Pete’s fans’ concerns are now the highest since the video’s release, with many urging the actor to consider taking legal action against Ye for fear of his safety.
“If I had been in Pete’s place, I would have received a restraining order for him as soon as possible, it was strange, but this is a whole new level,” one person tweeted.

“I hope Kim and Pete use this in court to get restraining orders against Kanye,” wrote another under the music video.

“Kanye West is so uncomfortable. “I hope Pete Davidson sues his ass for harassment.”

Several fans continued to share kind words of support for Pete, while also drawing attention to his mental health, noting that he, like Ye, has bipolar disorder, as well as borderline personality disorder (BPD) and a history of thoughts of suicide.
“Pete Davidson deserves much better. I really hope he is well now, safe and healthy, “one man wrote.
Pete Davidson deserves much better. I really hope he is well now, alive and well.
“I’m sorry, but it’s incredibly annoying that everyone ignores the fact that Pete is also involved in BPD, and things like this video can spiral you out,” said another.

“Pete is literally talking about BPD and suicide. Doesn’t Kanye have a team to approve this nonsense?” “They are literally exploiting one mentally ill man (Kanye) to upset another (Pete) and all this for some influence,” wrote a third.
Pete has literally talked about having BPD and is prone to suicide. Doesn’t Kanye have a team to approve of this nonsense? They literally exploit one mentally ill man (Kanye) to upset another (Pete) for a little influence. https://t.co/53LAkXES4C
“Stop saying that Kanye’s behavior is harmless, that he wouldn’t actually hurt Pete. He constantly harasses and threatens a person with BPD, depression and anxiety with a history of suicidal thoughts. THIS is harmful, “tweeted one.
Stop saying that Kanye’s behavior is harmless, that he won’t actually hurt Pete. He constantly harasses and threatens a person with BPD, depression and amplifier; anxiety with a history of suicidal thoughts. THIS is harmful. Only Kanye’s mental health, as a bully, is discussed.
Pete has long spoken openly about his mental health. As early as 2018, he revealed that he left social media with a sincere statement to avoid “negative energy” on the Internet and continued to shed light on the topic during interviews and in various segments of SNL.

With all this in mind, fans were extremely concerned about the actor’s well-being on Wednesday night, as “Pete Davidson” was on trend on Twitter hours after the release of the music video.

Meanwhile, Ye fans have started reacting to the video on Instagram. Although some didn’t seem worried about the visualization, a few joined in the comments to express their concerns and tell the rapper that it was “too much”.
“Brother. That’s too much, “wrote one user. “Wtf Kanye,” said another man.
Noting the horrific actions shown in the video, one fan commented: “KANYE REALLY JUST RELEASED A VIDEO KILLING SKYTY.” Another anxious user repeated, “Someone [needs to] stop this man before he commits a crime. ”
Some fans went on to describe Ye’s video as a “hate crime” before stressing that the message did not bode well for him and Kim to compare their four children: North, St., Chicago and Psalm.
In fact, many users have expressed concern about Kim and Ye’s children – aged between 2 and 8 – and say the rapper’s harmful content is likely to be seen by his children in the future.
“It doesn’t look healthy or safe at all. Not for Kim, the kids or Pete. Especially not Kanye himself, “one man wrote.

“What message is this sending to his children?” Another asked.
@ Lovemebby3C @Metro_Ents you are actually defending Kanye. What a message this sends to his children.
One fan tweeted: “As a father of four, [Ye’s] the behavior is shameful. Mental health problems should not be used to justify his actions. ”
Kanye is not nervous or ridiculous about what he does. As a father of four, his behavior is shameful. Mental health problems should not be used to justify his actions. This is an abuse that does not deserve support or a platform of any kind.
