Kanye West, 44, attacked comedian Pete Davidson, 28, the boyfriend of his ex-wife, socialite manager Kim Kardashian, 41, in the second clip of the song “Eazy”, from the rapper’s new album. In the images, it shows the comedian being beaten by a monkey in an animation.
West sings the song’s snippet: “God saved me from that accident. Just so I can smack Pete Davidson’s ass,” as the bloodied ape beats the smudged comedian wearing a hoodie that reads “Skete,” the nickname the rapper gave it to him.
The monkey in the animation is the same one that appears on the rapper’s album cover. In the first version of the clip, released earlier this month, West kidnapped and buried alive an animated version of the comedian. “Everyone lived happily ever after except Skete, you know who,” read the final frame with the word “Skete” crossed out.
According to Page Six, Davidson and Kardashian did not respond to the audiovisual threats of the rapper, who does not accept the end of his marriage with the socialite and has pursued the comedian. Amid the attacks, Davidson deleted his Instagram account.
In the first music video, Kanye faced criticism due to the attacks on Davidson, but that didn’t stop him from continuing with this form of outreach. “Art is therapy as is this vision. Art is protected as freedom of expression,” wrote the rapper on social media.
“Art inspires and simplifies the world. Art is not a proxy for any harm or harm. Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and malicious,” the rapper said.
West and Kardashian, 41, were declared legally single on March 1 amid their ongoing divorce. The two are parents of four children: North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4 and Psalm, 2.
