Kanye West is facing a backlash after scenes in his new music video that features a character which bears a close resemblance to Pete Davidson being buried alive.
Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian was legally declared a single woman yesterday and since her separation has been dating comedian Pete Davidson, something which has been the target of several Instagram rants from the rapper.
Now the 44 year old has released the black and white visuals for his new single Eazy, which features a disturbing scene of Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson being buried in a flower bed.
On the track, which has been taken from new album Donda 2, Kanye can be heard rapping: “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**”, on the track, while the accompanying video shows him dragging Pete across the floor in a bag.
Kanye then removes the bag and then sprinkles seeds over Pete’s head, with flowers growing around him.
Many fans have criticised the rapper for his repeated attacks at the 28 year old comedian, who started dating ex Kim after the pair met during an SNL performance last year.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Kanye West decapitating Pete Davidson in his new music video is absolutely disgusting and pathetic. The man’s 44 and having a completely one-sided feud with this guy to this extreme, it’s vile and so uncomfortable to witness unfold. He needs to be de-platformed like Trump.”
Another added: “Kim Kardashian has been declared legally single and in response Kanye uploads a stop motion music video of him KIDNAPPING and DECAPITATING Pete Davidson?????? This is abuse”.
A third person wrote: “Kanye West is so f***ing embarrassing. I hope Pete Davidson is gonna sue his a** for harassment”.
However, not all fans were so critical, with one writing: “Eminem has a whole music video out depicting domestic kidnapping & a murder-suicide with real humans acting it out & he just performed at the super bowl but god forbid Kanye uses clay figures depicting planting Pete in the dirt with some flowers”.
It comes after Kim Kardashian has finally been declared a single woman following her split from Kanye.
After 41 year old reality sensation Kim reportedly requested a judge to "make her single ASAP", her wish has been granted.
According to PA, the SKIMS founder and mother-of-four was declared legally single by a judge following Wednesday morning's court hearing over her divorce from Kanye.
With the court ruling, Kim can officially drop "West" as her last name and return to being called Kim Kardashian.
Kim and Kanye married in 2014 and share children North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two together.
The new court ruling comes after Kim accused Kanye of causing her emotional distress during their ongoing divorce proceedings and wants to speed up the finalising of the ending of their marriage.
Kim said: "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media, which has created emotional distress."
Following her statement, Kanye was said to be attempting to stop his social media content from being used against him in court.
Kanye's lawyer reportedly told TMZ: "Kim claims she read something online allegedly by Kanye and characterises the posts in her declaration as misinformation.
"Kim needed to offer the social media posts into evidence, and show that the posts were written by Kanye," they went on.
