Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson has taken aim at Kanye West as their divorce turns toxic.

Pete Davidson stars in new Super Bowl ad for mayonnaise

Pete Davidson has taken a veiled swipe at Kanye West in a new Super Bowl ad amid the rapper’s meltdown over his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

Appearing in an ad for Hellmann’s mayonnaise released on Monday, Kim’s new boyfriend appeared to poke fun at West, who has made headlines this week for releasing his ex-wife’s private text messages then scrubbing all evidence of his family from social media.

West has been open about his mental health struggles, including bipolar disorder which he says causes him to be “hyper-paranoid”.

In the commercial, Davidson seemingly referenced Kanye’s recent threats to “beat” him by joking that he is “very hittable”, the New York Post reports.

The ad features the comedian alongside former NFL linebacker Jerod Mayo, who discusses “tackling food waste” on behalf of Hellmann’s.

The former athlete is seen slamming into different people, including a grandmother, who are getting rid of leftover food.

When Mayo, 35, arrives at Davidson’s house, the King of Staten Island star stands beside his real-life mum, Amy Davidson, and says, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Mom’s already tackling food waste, Mayo,” before the athlete has a chance to tackle her.

“Oh, he’s a big guy!” Davidson adds as Mayo returns to tackle him instead.

“Sorry man, had to,” the New England Patriots linebackers coach then says.

“I get it. I’m very hittable,” Davidson responds from the ground with a grunt.

Although West, 44, is not mentioned in the ad, less than a month ago the billionaire musician made headlines for rapping in his new collaboration with The Game called Eazy, “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”

The Yeezy CEO appears to be bothered by Davidson since he started dating Kim Kardashian, who was recently married to West and shares four kids with him.

However, sources recently told the New York Post that Davidson is just laughing off the empty lyrical threats and thinks they are “hilarious”.

“Pete thinks it’s totally hilarious,” an insider previously said. “Not just that – he thinks the whole [tabloid drama with him, West and Kardashian] is hilarious. He loves it.”

A separate source added, “The whole craziness with Kanye last week has brought Kim and Pete closer.”

Davidson and Kardashian, 41, have been dating since October – shortly after the Skims founder hosted SNL.

Although West appears to have moved on himself with Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox, the Heartless rapper has been posting Instagram rants blasting Kardashian over some of their co-parenting issues.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum responded to one of his posts, “Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.”
