Kim Kardashian is reportedly furious with Kanye West over a poor taste post on Instagram targeting Pete Davidson who the reality TV star had recently broken up with.
The rapper, 45, shared a screenshot of a fake newspaper front page with the headline “Skete Davidson dead at age 28” on Instagram on Monday, reported the US Sun.
West has now deleted the post, apparently following Kardashian’s intervention.
The photo was a mock-up of the New York Times and was dated Monday, August 8 2022.
West has been using the nickname “Skete” for Davidson, 28, for months.
West’s latest post comes just days after it was revealed that Davidson and Kardashian have split following nine months of dating.
The Kardashians star and former SNL funnyman have broken up, and decided to just be friends, E! News reported late last week.
A source said: “They have a lot of love and respect for each other but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
An insider later claimed Kardashian broke up with Davidson because she was “totally exhausted” by his “immaturity” and their 13-year age gap.
The split occurred sometime last week, according to the site.
Kim ‘incredibly upset’ with West
But despite the break up Kardashian has come into bat for Davidson saying the Insta meme posted by West was “appalling”.
“Kim won’t stand for this. She is demanding that Kanye take the post down, but he won’t,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“She has been vigorously defending Pete. Ella she’ll never get back together with Kanye over the way he’s treated the people she loves and respects.
“She won’t stand for this type of behavior from him.”
the new york post had further details from Kardashian sources.
“Kim is livid and incredibly upset … Kanye is back to his old ways and Kim will not tolerate his bullying behavior towards the people she loves and cares about,” a source close to the SKIMS founder told the Post’s Page Six column.
The musician – who has four children with Kardashian. – repeatedly targeted Davidson on social media after he began dating Kardashian in October.
He called Davidson a “d**khead”, threatened to “beat his a**” and accused the actor of trying to “destroy” his family in various rants.
Davidson has been spending part of the summer in Australia working on his new movie, David Michôd’s comedy Wizards!
The split comes amid rumors that Kardashian and West have reconciled.
They have four kids together – North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three.
The SKIMS founder filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage.
However, Kardashian has seemingly dropped several hints recently that the two may be back on.
Earlier this month, she wore white bikini bottoms, and a matching white top that says “The Incredibles.”
Fans pointed out that West once talked about his love for the Disney movie, The Incrediblesduring an interview on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Kardashian has also taken to wearing clothes from West’s label Yeezy again.
Just last week, she posed with her daughters North and Chicago while all three of them wore Yeezy sunglasses.
They rocked black leather outfits and matching silver oversized shades in the series of selfies and photos.
One wrote: “YEEZY SHADES I’M TELLING YOU THEY’RE BACK.”
Another added, “They were cute together though for real,” and a third posted: “Kimye is alive.”
