‘Sickening’: Former Yeezy designer claims Kanye West made ‘Pete Davidson has AIDS’ T-shirts

A former Yeezy employee claims Kanye West taunted his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s then-boyfriend Pete Davidson in a “sickening” way.

Kanye West made “Pete Davidson has AIDS” T-shirts to taunt the comedian while he was dating his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

Pierre Louis Auvray, who worked as a senior designer at Yeezy from 2019 to 2021, claimed in a bombshell interview with journalist Louis Pisano that the rapper wanted to continue spreading unfounded rumours about the former Saturday Night Live star through his fashion brand.

Auvray claimed that when West, 47, was at the SoHo House in Austin, Texas, he went on a tirade about Jewish people and made disparaging remarks about Davidson.

“He was having this rant about Jewish people, black people being the first Jewish people, and telling people that Pete Davidson had AIDS,” Auvray recalled. “It was sickening.”

The former Yeezy staffer claimed the Grammy winner had his general manager, Laurence Chandler, allegedly reach out to him to create long-sleeved shirts with white letters that read, “Pete Davidson has AIDS,” “Pete Davidson hates Black people” and “Pete Davidson destroys families.”

“I had to fight because I didn’t want to do it,” Auvray claimed, adding that he felt “pressure” from people in their group chat, including West’s now-wife, Bianca Censori.

“I was like, ‘No, I’m not doing this,’” he added.

Auvray also shared alleged screenshots of his conversation with Chandler that included images of the proposed shirt design.

A source close to Davidson told Page Six the shirts were “despicable.”

Page Six has reached out to Chandler and reps for both Davidson and West for comment but did not immediately hear back.

In 2022, West began spreading rumours that Davidson, 31, had the chronic, life-threatening disease, was a junkie and was gay.

Davidson began dating Kardashian, 44, in November 2021, less than a year after she filed for divorce from West.

A source close to Davidson told us in 2022 that the rumours were “nonsense” and that the comedian was “ignoring all of the Kanye hate out of respect for Kim.”

In April 2022, Davidson joked about West’s “AIDS” claim during a stand-up show for Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival at the Hollywood Bowl.
