Kanye West targets 'Saturday Night Live' in new song after threatening Pete Davidson
Feb 12, 2022
Washington [US], February 12 : After dissing Pete Davidson in a song, Kanye West has now taken aim at 'Saturday Night Live', the show where the former works and met the rapper's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, whom he's dating now.
According to Variety, on West's newly released track 'City of Gods', a collaboration with Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys, he raps, "This afternoon, a hundred goons pullin' up to 'SNL'. When I pull up, it's dead on arrival."
Earlier in the track, West even referenced Kardashian herself: "And if I let 'em have my wife, n---s should thank me. With this Balenciaga and Balenci' boots and new blue Yankee."
Earlier this year, on the track 'Eazy', West had rapped, "God saved me from that crash. Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (who?)."
Recently, West ignited a media firestorm on Thursday when he publicly called out fellow Coachella headliner Billie Eilish for comments he perceived were aimed at rapper and Astroworld Festival founder Travis Scott, threatening to pull out of the California festival unless she apologized.
At a recent Atlanta concert, Eilish had paused the show to locate an inhaler for a distressed fan in the audience.
Pointing into the crowd, Eilish asked, "Do you need an inhaler? Don't crowd. ... We're taking care of our people, hold on. I wait for people to be okay until I keep going."
Despite Eilish never mentioning Scott, West wrote in an Instagram caption, "Come on Billie we love you. Please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives. No one intended this to happen."
He added, "Trav didn't have any idea of what was happening when he was on stage and was very hurt by what happened, and yes Trav will be with me at Coachella, but now I need Billie to apologize before I perform."
Eilish responded in the comments, writing, "Literally never said a thing about Travis. Was just helping a fan."
Meanwhile, West's new release 'City of Gods' arrives as he seems to be constantly in the news for his ongoing divorce with Kardashian over their children, his new romance with Julia Fox and his pleas on other issues.
