Text messages between Pete Davidson and Kanye West came out over the weekend, and fans have some thoughts about the exchange. Some say that the comedian’s texts prove the rumors that he texted Mac Miller horrible things while dating Ariana Grande. Here’s what you need to know about both sets of texts and how fans are connecting them. 

Pete Davidson’s friend shared text messages the comedian sent Kanye West

Although Pete Davidson isn’t on social media, his presence is still strongly felt. Over the weekend, his friend Dave Sirus released screenshots of texts between Davidson and Kanye West in a since-deleted Instagram post. Sirus has posted online for Davidson before, like when he shared the comedian’s tribute to Bob Saget after the Full House star’s death

In the text exchange seemingly initiated by Davidson, the Saturday Night Live star went back and forth between antagonizing West and offering him help. When the rapper texted, “Where are you right now?” Davidson replied, “In bed with your wife,” including a selfie in which he is shirtless in bed with his tongue sticking out, flashing a peace sign.

Davidson asked the rapper to his hotel room to talk, while West repeatedly invited the comedian to come to his Sunday Service

There were rumors that Pete Davidson sent antagonistic text messages to Mac Miller while dating Ariana Grande

In 2018, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson got engaged after a month of dating. The two stars had just gotten out of serious relationships with Mac Miller and Cazzie David, respectively. 

On Sept. 7, 2018, just a few months after the news of the engagement broke, Mac Miller died of an accidental overdose. Grande and Davidson ended their relationship shortly after.

There were rumors that the SNL star had sent intimate photos of Grande to Miller before his death. But according to Page Six, a source close to Davidson said there was “absolutely no truth to that rumor.”

Fans think the comedian’s texts to Kanye West prove the rumored texts to Mac Miller

Since Pete Davidson sent a photo of himself in bed with Kim Kardashian to Kanye West, fans are reminded of the nasty Mac Miller text rumors. Some fans are saying that Davidson’s recent actions suggest that he did, in fact, send intimate photos to Grande’s ex. 

On a Reddit thread titled “Pete Davidson Brags About ‘Being In Bed’ With Kim Kardashian In Leaked Text Sent To Kanye West After Ye Post Bizarre String Of Videos,” one fan commented, “This does make those rumours about Pete Davidson doing something similar to Mac Miller more credible.”

Another fan wrote, “Everyone keeps sticking up for skete but I say f*** him. He did the same s*** with Mac miller when he hooked up Ariana. Kanye has been trippin but still, f*** skete.” 

And one fan commented, “Didnt Pete do this same thing years ago with Ariana Grande? She broke off their engagement when it was leaked he was bragging about sleeping with her in texts to his friends and speaking ill on Mac Miller. Either way all 3 of them are equally immature and their kids deserve better ://”

But some fans are defending Davidson with comments like, “Why would he though? Kanye has been dogging Pete so hard for ages now. What reason would Pete have to reach out to Mac Miller?”
