Kanye West’s behavior has gotten more bizarre as an alleged rumor has gotten back to Pete Davidson that Ye is telling people that the comedian has AIDS, TMZ reports.

Sources close to Davidson confirm that “Kanye’s been telling everybody within earshot that Pete has AIDS.” The outlet reports that Ye has made phone calls to mutual friends of he and the Saturday Night Live comedian who are “confused and disturbed by the childish behavior.”

Friends close to Davidson are concerned and troubled by the fact that Kanye would allegedly lash out at Pete in this way.

However, one source close to Ye told the gossip site that the allegation he’s spreading is “nonsense.”

Ye recently dropped a song with The Game called “Eazy” where he took a shot at Pete, “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a–.”

The Donda rapper has made it known that he is not too fond of Pete dating his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, but if this alleged rumor is true it is in poor taste for Ye.
