Kanye West has declared Pete Davidson dead at 28 after his widely breakup news with his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.
West shared and then deleted an edited photo on Instagram of the New York Times front page, with bold text that reads simply: βSkete Davidson dead at age 28.β
West created the βSketeβ moniker for Davidson in March, when he was publicly attacking his ex Kardashianβs then-boyfriend on almost a daily basis via Instagram memes and music videos.
But Ye didnβt stop at Davidson: The fine print of the newspaper also pokes fun at former collaborator Kid Cudi, who recently left the Rolling Loud stage midperformance after he was hit with a water bottle by βfansβ in the crowd.
The bottom of the front page reads, βKid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.β
Cudi had stepped in for West as a Rolling Loud headliner after the βDondaβ artist bailed at the last minute.
Surprisingly, West then appeared as a special guest during Lil Durkβs set, performing his song βFather Stretch My Handsβ (which features Cudi).
Ye deleted the meme hours after posting, reverting his Instagram to its blank slate.
