KANYE VS. PETE

The reaction comes as the two stars are currently locked in a bitter feud ever since Pete started dating Kanye’s reality icon ex, Kim Kardashian.

The rapper has done everything from calling Pete a "d**khead," to threatening to "beat his a**", and accusing him of attempting to "destroy" his family.

A character of Kanye even kidnapped and buried Pete’s character alive in the animated music video of his song Eazy; a project which he has defended despite wide criticism.

Just this week Kanye was banned from Instagram for at least 24 hours for lashing out at Trevor Noah with a racial slur.

The temporary ban came after a marathon of threats towards his ex and Pete.

TEXTING SPAT

This week also saw a leaked harsh text exchange between the two.

In texts spread by Pete's friend Dave Sirius, the comedian allegedly messaged Kanye: "Yo it's Skeet. Can you please take a second to calm down?"

"It's 8am in the morning. It doesn't gotta be like this.

"Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met.

"What she does for those kids is amazing and you are so f**king lucky that she's your kids' mom.

"I've decided I'm not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet. Grow the f**k up."

Kanye appeared to respond: "Oh you using profanity. What are you doing right now?"

Pete replied: "In bed with your wife," and shared a shirtless photo of himself laying down.

"Happy to see you're out the hospital and rehab," Kanye responded, referring to Pete's past battles with mental health and substance abuse.
