Pete Davidson is taking steps to ensure his safety after Kanye West’s recent threats in the song Eazy.
The comedian, who is currently in a relationship with West’s estranged wife Kim Kardashian, found himself the target of the rapper’s latest track made in collaboration with The Game.
On “Eazy,” Kanye raps, “God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass,” with his new girlfriend Julia Fox reportedly adding the ad lib, “Who?”
According to reports from Radar, Davidson is concerned about the rapper’s large fanbase. “Pete isn’t worried about Kanye, but he is concerned about the massive fanbase that Kanye has,” a source told the outlet.
“His devoted followers listen to his songs and act upon them. That’s why Pete is now using security,” the report stated.
“Until recently Pete never had security with him when he was out and about, even when he was engaged to Ariana Grande. But dating Kim is a totally different level of fame,” a source close to Davidson revealed.
“Pete is now a superstar, which comes with a price. As much as he still wants to be low-key and hang with his friends, the reality of his situation has changed,” it pointed out.
“Pete isn’t taking any chances. Whenever he is out with Kim, they use her security. But now Pete needs his own security when he is out alone. He is still Pete, but now Pete comes with a 6’1, 220 lbs security guard,” the insider revealed.
Pete’s decision to bolster his security measures comes after Kanye claimed that Kim’s security wouldn’t allow him inside her house to see their kids because Pete was inside, a claim which Kim has denied.
