Kanye’s lyrics
Hours prior to the birthday party fiasco, Kanye exclusively released the song Eazy on Spotify.
Featuring The Game, lyrics from the song directly diss Kim’s new beau.
In the song, Kanye states: “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.”
On February 11, 2022, Fivio Foreign dropped the single City of Gods, featuring Kanye and Alicia Keys.
Kanye once again seemingly references Pete in his verse, rapping: “This afternoon, a hundred goons pullin’ up to SNL, when I pull up, it’s dead on arrival.”
Pete is famously a cast member on Saturday Night Live.
Billie, Cudi, and Pete
On Saturday, February 12, 2022, Kanye shared a handwritten note to his Instagram account informing fans: “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who.”
“You know who” seems to be another reference to Pete.
He added: “We all speak in Billie language now.”
Kanye also shared an image of himself with Kid Cudi and Pete at dinner, crossing Pete’s face out with a giant red “X”.
On February 14, 2022, Ye took to Instagram to share an image of a man having another in a chokehold.
The rapper wrote: “Upon my wife’s request please nobody do anything physical to Skete I’m going to handle the situation myself.”
The post also included what appears to be a screenshot of text messages between Kim and Kanye.
Allegedly in the screenshot a message from a contact under the name of “Kim Other Phone” tells Ye that he is creating a “dangerous and scary” environment.
The text also states that “someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault.”
Just days before – on Thursday, February 10 – Kanye posted a screenshot of an article alleging that Billie Eilish, a 20-year-old pop star, dissed Travis Scott.
A fan at one of Billie’s concerts reportedly needed an asthma inhaler, and the singer stopped her performance to make sure they were okay.
After doing so, Billie went on to say she waits “for people to be okay until I keep going”.
Following the concert, Kanye took to his Instagram to state he will not participate in the Coachella festival alongside Billie unless she publicly apologizes to Travis.
Although Billie made no mention of Travis during her set, Kanye seemed to allege she was alluding to the Astroworld tragedy of 2021.
Kanye wrote: “Come on Billie we love you please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives.”

Meme wars
Kid Cudi responded to Kanye, writing that he did not want to “be on your album, you f**king dinosaur.”
Cudi added: “Everyone knows I’ve been the best thing about your albums since I met you.”
Kanye then began posting memes to his Instagram, mainly featuring Cudi, Pete, and Kim.
In one image, the rapper superimposed his face onto a Marvel superhero movie poster declaring: “Kanye West – Civil War.”
Kanye also photoshopped the faces of those on his “side” of the war, including: Julia Fox, Drake, Travis Scott and Future.
On the “enemy” side of the poster, Kanye included Pete, Kim, Cudi, Billie, and Taylor Swift – someone he has beefed with publicly since 2009.
After the meme was posted about Pete, Kanye followed it up with a few more.
Kanye shared a photo of Pete’s Hillary Clinton tattoo, alleging the two once dated.
Continuing on with his rant, Kanye posted another Marvel meme – this time of a Venom 2 movie poster.
Kanye photoshopped himself as the titular character, with Pete as the character he’s facing off against.
He also shared a headless photo of Pete and Kim, writing: “LOOK AT THIS D**KHEAD.”
Another image included a screenshot of Pete and Machine Gun Kelly‘s Calvin Klein advertisement, alongside a photo of a text message allegedly from Pete himself telling Kanye he will not involve himself with Kim and his children.
Kanye also posted an article claiming Pete tried to get between Ariana Grande and the late Mac Miller.
The rapper then shared a screenshot of his name trending on Twitter, tagging Kim and adding: “ALWAYS REMEMBER WEST WAS YOUR BIGGEST W.”
Kanye’s Eazy music video

On the same day which Kanye and Kim faced off in court over Kim’s divorce petition – March 2, 2022 – the rapper released the music video for his song, Eazy.
Throughout the mostly animated music video, Kanye’s likeness depicts violent actions taken against Pete’s likeness.
Kanye raps in the song: “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.”
The Pete figure is kidnapped with a bag over his head, decapitated, and buried in the ground.
Upon the burial, Kanye’s likeness sprinkles water over the Pete figure’s head from which flowers spring out.
The flowers are then loaded into the back of a pickup truck.
The use of flowers is likely a nod to the truckload of roses that Kanye sent Kim for Valentine’s Day this year.
The music video ends by making one final jab at Pete.
Text onscreen read: “EVERYONE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER / EXCEPT SKETE YOU KNOW WHO / JK HE’S FINE.”
