In a very unlikely pairing, rapper Kanye West and comedian Pete Davidson were seen hanging out together after the latter of the two made fun of West over his politics on “Saturday Night Live.”
In a series of photos on Kim Kardashian-West’s Instagram, the 25-year-old comic and the 41-year-old singer were hanging out together while celebrating their mutual friend Kid Cudi’s 35th birthday. Also joining in the festivities was 23-year-old actor Timothee Chalamet.

After West gave an unexpected and unplanned pro-Trump rant to close out the previous week’s show, Pete Davidson appeared on “Weekend Update” the following week to sound off on the bizarre political speech that the often-outspoken musician gave.
“What Kanye said after we went off the air last week was one of the worst, most awkward things I’ve ever seen here, and I’ve seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern,” Davidson joked at the time.

West made headlines for sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat and giving Donald Trump his support. He claimed that he was told not to wear his hat during his appearance on “SNL.” However, Davidson claimed that assertion was false.
“He wore it all week,” Davidson said. “Nobody told him not to wear it. I wish I bullied you. I wish I would have suggested that it might upset some people, like your wife [Kim Kardashian West] or every black person ever.”

“I wanna cry right now, black man in America, supposed to keep what you’re feelin’ inside right now…” West said. “The blacks want always Democrats…you know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare… does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan.”
