Now Pete, 29, has resurfaced in a photo shared on rapper Flavor Flav’s Instagram profile.
The Flavor of Love star shocked fans when he posted a screenshot of his Facetime call with the SNL star, who showed off a shaggy beard and threw up a peace sign to the camera.
The Bupkis star sported a black graphic t-shirt and a soft smile during his conversation with Flavor Flav, 64.
In the bottom right corner, the rapper could be seen showing off a massive diamond chain, a nude hat, and a big grin.
He captioned the post: “FLAVOR FLAV::: wit Pete Davidson on the FT BOOYYYEEEE,!!!!!!” and fans flooded the comments section with their surprise.
BEST OF FRIENDS
This wasn’t the first time the unlikely duo were spotted hanging out, and back in November of 2021, Pete was pictured with the rapper and his then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
The comedian turned 28 that month and partied with Flavor Flav and Kim’s mom Kris Jenner to celebrate.
Flav shared a snap of the group and wrote: “celebrating my adopted son Pete Davidson’s birthday wit the legendz @kimkardashian and @krisjenner.”
He added: “Pete,,, I never took a clock off my neck to give to someone and you will be the last person I do this for,,, it lookz real good on you,,,, happy birthday,,,,”
The bash apparently took place at Kris’ vacation home in Palm Springs.
The photos showed Kim, Pete, and Kris looking very comfortable together and wearing matching plaid pajamas from Kim’s SKIMS line.
Flav also shared a second snap of him standing next to Pete who is smiling and wearing the clock pendant necklace.
PUPPY PROBLEMS
The pair’s more recent reunion came amid major backlash surrounding the comedian’s controversial purchase.
Pete, 29, and his current girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders, 26, opted to buy a new puppy from a shop rather than adopt over the weekend, and fans blasted their decision.

On Wednesday, a video was posted of the couple going to Citipups in New York City.
In the video, the duo – who began dating late last year – was seen smiling and nodding as they chatted to an employee at the store.
The Saturday Night Live alum and his girlfriend visited the store on May 21 and left with a cavapoo puppy, according to TMZ.
The puppy was reportedly only two-and-a-half months old and was bought from a breeder.
Pete contacted Citipups before his visit to tell them he had fallen in love with the cavapoo after seeing a photo of him, according to the outlet.
The King of Staten Island actor is believed to have loved the dog so much that he bought him straight away and took him home.
Pete bought the new pooch several weeks after his dog Henry died at the age of two.
Immediately after the video of the talented duo was posted, many fans voiced their disgust with the couple’s choice to buy a puppy rather than adopt.
FAN BACKLASH
After Page Six posted about the event on Instagram, plenty of their followers blasted what they saw.
One person slammed: “Buying a dog??? Gross! I didn’t even know that those sorts of pet shops were still legal.”
Another angry social media user snarked: “There’s no excuse for this stupidity — especially in 2023. It’ll be illegal to sell dogs in pet stores in 2024 in the city, thankfully.
“I wouldn’t trust these two with a garden tool.”
A third person wrote: “Are you kidding me? I didn’t know he supported and fueled animal abuse. #adoptdontshop can’t wait till the ban kicks in here!”
“Buying a dog? Disgusting,” another commenter stated.
A fifth fan also urged: “Stop supporting that terrible puppy mill!”
“Buying a dog is gross but from CITIPUPS OUT OF ALL PLACES???!? Godd**n. So disappointing,” lamented a final commenter.
