Kim Kardashian still has a friend in her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson. The comedian, 28, has been in contact with Kim, 41, amid recent drama with her ex-husband Kanye West — including (but not limited to) his recent highly offensive anti-semitic posts, and wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt at Paris Fashion Week. “A lot of people have been reaching out to offer Kim support, including Pete [Davidson],” a source told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY.
“He’s in the middle of shooting another movie but he’s been in touch. He’s such a sweet guy and Kim’s grateful they can still be friends,” the insider added, referencing the Staten Island native’s new project Dumb Money with Seth Rogen and Shailene Woodley.
“Pete and Kim still talk on occasion and several weeks after the break up, they had gotten to a place of being cordial with each other. Pete has texted Kim a few times about the whole Kanye situation because he still cares about her as a person and wanted to check in to see how she was doing,” the source also told HL.
Prior to Kanye’s latest shocking social media posts, the rapper had targeted Pete in an on-going series of rants last Fall via Instagram. He inappropriately dubbed the SNL star “Skete”, followed by including an animated version of the 28-year-old in his music video for “Eazy.” Ye can be seen burying an animated version of Pete in the clip, which drew outrage from fans. At the time, Kanye claimed he had been “antagonized” by Pete in a series of text messages, including one of the King Of Staten Island star shirtless and allegedly in bed with Kim.
