00:00Pete Davidson made his first public comments about being harassed by Kanye West at this weekend's Netflix is a joke festival.
00:08The comedian who headlined two stand-up shows that were also being recorded for the streamer opened by remarking what a weird year he'd had so far,
00:16quipping it started with an AIDS scare.
00:18Of course, that was in reference to allegations earlier this year that West was trying to spread a rumor that Davidson had the condition.
00:24West's feud with the SNL star came after Davidson began a relationship with the rapper's ex-wife Kim Kardashian,
00:31with West harassing Davidson daily on social media.
00:34Davidson made several other nods at West's comments throughout the set,
00:38including when he recalled going to a basketball game in December of 2021 with Chris Rock and Jon Stewart,
00:44and how much had changed since then.
00:46Chris got slapped, I got decapitated, he teased in reference to West's music video of Acclaimation Davidson,
00:52and warned Stewart to watch his back.
00:55The comic also joked that he hoped West would pull a Mrs. Doubtfire and show up one day disguised as a housekeeper in his ex-wife's home.
01:02The Friday show marked only his third time on stage in three years.
01:06He made similar West-focused comments as a special guest at Dave Chappelle's Hollywood Bowl show on Thursday.
01:12Elsewhere, it seems that his relationship with Kardashian is still going strong
01:15after making their red carpet debut on Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
