Pete Davidson has thrown a little bit of shade at Kanye West after his brief yet highly publicised romance with the rapper's ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Making a triumphant return to Saturday Night Live last night for the first time since leaving last year, Pete, 29, thrilled fans with a hilarious skit that referenced 46-year-old rapper Kanye. In a segment called 'I'm Just Pete', which was the comedian's take on Barbie's I'm Just Ken hit, Pete didn't hold back.
Going topless and wearing a pair of pink trousers, Pete looked just like Ken with platinum blond locks as he sang. Crooning for the audience, Pete sang: "I’m just Pete, looking like a meth head on the street."
