Just days after rejoining the app, Pete Davidson has deleted his Instagram account again.
The SNL comedian made his return to the social media platform last Wednesday under the profile @pmd, and he was only following his girlfriend Kim Kardashian and actor Sebastian Stan.
Earlier this week, he added a YouTube link to his bio that led to a clip of Rupert Pupkin’s 1982 movie The King of Comedy, in which Rupert says: “Look I figure it this way, better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.”
Pete also uploaded his first grid post on the app, which was a video containing footage from his upcoming film The Home.
He captioned the post: “They’re letting me add my own dialogue to The Home. #welcometomyinstagram #thisisthetypeofstuffyoucanbeexpecting.”
Hours later, Pete deleted his account again, and fans are convinced the video link in his bio was a dig at his girlfriend Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West.
One fan commented on the YouTube video: “Damn, Pete firing sneaky shots 😮💨😂”
Another wrote: “Damnnnnnn, shots fired! Nice job being super classy about this, Pete. Kanye is a fool,” while a third fan penned: “Shade has been thrown and I’m here for it.”
It comes after Kanye deleted a number of Instagram posts that hit out at Kim and Pete.
Earlier this month, the rapper revealed he doesn’t want Kid Cudi to be on his Donda 2 album because of his friendship with his ex-wife’s new boyfriend.
The 44-year-old, who followed Pete on Instagram, later shared a throwback photo of him out for dinner with the SNL star, Kid Cudi and Timothée Chalamet, putting a red X over Pete’s face.
He captioned the post: “I JUST WANTED MY FRIEND TO HAVE MY BACK THE KNIFE JUST GOES IN DEEPER.”
Kanye then shared a photoshopped Captain America Civil War poster, showing him ready to face off against his estranged wife and Pete.
He put himself, his now ex-girlfriend Julia Fox, Drake, Travis Scott and Future on one side of the “war”, while Kim, Pete, Taylor Swift, Kid Cudi and Billie Eilish were on the other side.
Later, Kanye posted screenshots of texts from Kim, expressing her concern for Pete’s safety.
In one text, Kim wrote to Kanye: “You are creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault.”
Kanye captioned the post: “UPON MY WIFE’S REQUEST PLEASE NOBODY DO ANYTHING PHYSICAL TO SKETE IM GOING TO HANDLE THE SITUATION MYSELF.”
In another post, the father-of-four shared a screenshot of a text from Kim which said: “There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn’t have to be.”
Kanye replied: “I will always do everything to protect you and our family forever. And I listened to you and told everyone to make sure nothing physical happens to Skete.”
Kanye West shares text message from Kim Kardashian, where she asks him to stop creating a dangerous environment for Pete Davidson.

Kim then asked Kanye: “Why can’t you keep any of our conversations private??”
Her estranged husband replied: “Cause I got a text from my favorite person in the world. I’m your number one fan … Why wouldn’t I tell everyone!!!!”
After deleting all the posts, Kanye said he was “taking accountability” for “harassing” Kim and Pete on Instagram.
He wrote: “I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication.”
“I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me.”
“I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener,” Ye added.
Kim officially filed for divorce from Kanye on February 19, 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The former couple tied the knot back in 2014, and share four kids together – North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.
