Pete Davidson has a history of disabling and reenabling his social media accounts, but one particular incident led fans into a panic. The comedian took to Instagram in 2018 in a since-deleted post (per PageSix) that read: “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. all I’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember I told you so.”
The message came fresh after his ex-fiancée Ariana Grande inserted herself into a Twitter feud between Drake and Kanye West. “Guys, I know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and I dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be sick thank u,” the singer tweeted (and since-deleted, per Time).
Grande later apologized for the tweet after concerns rose about her glibly downplaying how the two rappers were feeling by referring to the fight as “grown men arguing online.” Davidson chimed into the debate after West clapped back at Grande, writing on Instagram: “Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out [about] mental health,” adding, ” … We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I’m seriously disgusted.”
Reportedly, Davidson refused to see Grande after the singer attempted to check on him following his cryptic post. He did, however, hang out with Machine Gun Kelly when the rapper paid the comedian a visit following the controversy.
