Despite Kanye West's public criticism of Pete Davidson's relationship with Kim Kardashian, the comedian cannot be bothered with it. Some people view the inability to engage in head on confrontation as being cowardly, but this is not the case with Davidson. 

"Pete is staying far away from Kanye," the insider shares with Us Magazine. The source clarified that Davidson, 28, has been "taking the mature route" in response and claimed this is not because he's being a coward.

 "He's not afraid of him - he just doesn't want to get involved in the divorce drama," the source explained. 

During West's September 2018 appearance on the NBC comedy show, Saturday Night Live's star Chris Parnell alluded to the rapper's fiery personality. Davidson responded to the Yeezy designer's public political statements following his support for then-President Trump and even told him to go back to his meds.

"Kanye is a genius, but a musical genius. Like Joey Chestnut is a hot dog-eating genius, but I don't want to hear Joey Chestnut's opinions about things that aren't hot dog-related," the Meet Cute actor said. "Kanye, I know you're like, 'This is the real me, I'm off the meds.' Take 'em. There's no shame in the medicine game. I'm on them. It's great."

Almost seven years after their wedding, Kim Kardashian, 41, filed for divorce from Kanye West in February 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. Her relationship with Davidson allegedly started after they appeared together on SNL in October of that year. 

When West said publicly that he intended to reconnect with the reality star in the weeks that followed, many were surprised. He even said that his wife was only made to say things by "SNL."

"SNL making my wife say 'I divorced him' on TV because they just wanted to get that bar off, and I never have seen the papers. We're not even divorced," he said during an appearance on Revolt's "Drink Champs" podcast in November 2021. "So how we - because [it's] no joke to me, my kids want their parents to stay together. I want their parents - I want us to be together."

But soon after Kanye was also seen dating Julia Fox and the romance between Kim and Pete continued. While everyone thought that was that - they've moved on, subsequent actions of Kanye West proved that he's still pining for Kim (and dissing Pete while at it!) while the latter and her whole family are doing their best to keep him out of their lives.  It has gotten so messy that one would think Pete Davidson is doing the right thing by steering clear.
