Kim Kardashian Likes James Gunn’s Tweet About Pete Davidson

Kim Kardashian is coming to her boyfriend Pete Davidson’s defense for the first time since they began dating — in a subtle way. The SKIMS founder liked a tweet by filmmaker James Gunn yesterday (March 3) which praised the Saturday Night Live star’s character.

Following Kanye West’s disturbing “Eazy” music video in which he kidnaps and decapitates a claymated Davidson, Gunn tweeted, “For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know. A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect.”

When one person revealed they’d “unfollowed” James due to his public support toward Pete, the filmmaker simply replied, “Happy to lose you.”

Before long, several observant fans noticed that Kim, who rarely “likes” anything on the platform, liked the Peacemaker director’s tweet.

Pete has yet to address the video, and with no social media presence, it’s uncertain if and when he’s reacted to it. The comedian briefly reactivated his Instagram account, until he received onslaught of hateful comments from Ye’s fans.

  During an 'SNL' skit while playing President Joe Biden “from the real universe,” Davidson said, “The timeline you are all living in is about to collapse. You see, it was created as a joke starting in 2016 when the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Now, it spiraled out of control and could explode at any minute." A "reporter" asked, "What about the rest of us, are we OK in the real world?” Some fans seemingly took what Davidson's Biden said next as a diss to Kanye: “Everyone on earth is better off in the real world except one man named Pete Davidson. Your world is maybe more fun for him.”

  During the 'Weekend Update' segment, Pete called Kanye's appearance the week prior as “one of the worst, most awkward things I’ve ever seen here … and I’ve seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern."

  In the same episode in 2018, Davidson said he doesn't want to hear about Kanye's political views regardless of his respect for him as a musician. “Kanye is a genius, but like a musical genius," Davidson said during the 'Weekend Update' segment. "Like Joey Chestnut is a hot dog-eating genius, but I don’t want to hear his opinion about things that aren’t hot dog-related."

• On Mental Health

  In Pete Davidson's final dig towards Kanye in 2018 on 'SNL,' he called out the rapper for his bad behavior. “There’s no shame in the medicine game. I’m on ‘em, it’s great. There’s nothing wrong with taking them! Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jacka--. I’m quoting my therapist, my mom, and my mailman.”
