“It’s bad, and it makes me sad, you know. And girls are just talking to themselves on there, and they’re like, “Okay, come get ready with me.” And I’m like, “Who the f-ck are you? What do you do? Nothing. What the f-ck is this?”” he shared. “They make 40 million a year. What? And then I’m like, “The world’s broken.””

He continued, “There’s girls my age that go on TikTok, and they’ll, like, mutter like a thing and then do this, like, dance. And I’m like, “What the f-ck are you doing?” This is insane. Does no one else see how f-cking insane and lame this is? And these girls are like super famous. Like, everyone’s like, “Oh my god, I can’t believe.””

The “Bodies Bodies Bodies” star also looked back on his relationship with Kim Kardashian, admitting that it was a whirlwind experience.

He explained that being followed everywhere by cameras and constantly looking over his shoulder was “too much” to grapple with alongside his mental health struggles and addiction problems.

“I’m one of the survivors — the few and the proud. We’re like the Marines,” Davidson said. “Look, man, that’s a really tough atmosphere if you’re not game. One of the things I love about Kim and that whole family is they’re like, “This is what we do.” I found that very attractive and mature.”

He continued, “And I was never subjected to anything I didn’t want to be a part of. She was super respectful of all of it, but the craze of that lifestyle — being followed everywhere, having security and looking over your shoulder — for a guy with mental stuff, and at the time drug problems, was a little too much for me. But we’re cool, and I have a lot of love for her, and I knew what I was getting into.

Pete Davidson Shows Empathy For Kanye West Despite Their Public Feud

Davidson also touched on his public spat with the SKIMS founder’s ex-husband, Kanye West, who shared threats against him at the time.

One notably featured a claymation version of the comedian being kidnapped and beheaded in the video for West’s “EaZy” track.

The “Bupkis” star condemned the rapper’s behavior, saying he got “tripped” by the fact that, despite being open about his struggles, the “Donda” rapper was seemingly telling him to “kill” himself.

However, he also showed empathy toward West, who has struggled with his mental health over the years.

“What people don’t understand about that dude — and I’m not one-one-millionth as talented or influential or powerful as that dude, but I have dealt with a fraction of what he’s had to deal with public-wise — is that’ll do it. He’s also lost a parent and has mental stuff, and I don’t know how he deals with it or who he has around him. Probably a lot of people who want to be his friend. I’ve had that,” he said.

“When people are so far up your -ss and constantly pushing and provoking you and not showing you love, you want to burn it all. I think it got to a certain point where he was like, “Leave me the f-ck alone. I’m just going to say crazy sh-t.” There’s zero way he really feels like that,” Davidson added.
