Pete Davidson took a brutal swipe at old foe Kanye West while torching comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart” Sunday night — dragging the rapper’s antisemitic scandals and even assassinated political activist Charlie Kirk into the chaos.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum, 32, compared Hinchcliffe to Kirk, who was killed last September, before delivering one of the night’s most jaw-dropping lines.
“Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat,” Davidson quipped, drawing audible gasps from the crowd.
Moments later, Davidson upped the ante with an even more ruthless punchline.
“‘Kill Tony.’ Please someone f–king ‘Kill Tony,’” Davidson cracked, referencing Hinchcliffe’s hit podcast. “Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings. I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”
Davidson’s biting remark was a direct nod to his explosive feud with West, 48, which stemmed from his headline-grabbing romance with Kim Kardashian after her breakup with the Yeezy mogul.
West notoriously spent months publicly targeting Davidson in 2022, posting disturbing social media attacks, spreading rumors that the comic had AIDS, branding him a drug addict, and mocking him with juvenile insults as Kardashian, now 45, moved on.
The “Gold Digger” rapper also bizarrely claimed Davidson had taunted him by bragging about sleeping with the reality star.
West’s repeated antisemitic tirades and public meltdowns in recent years torched major business partnerships and cemented his fall from grace, making Davidson’s “gay Nazi” jab an especially savage dig.
He sparked further backlash in 2025 when he publicly proclaimed his love for Adolf Hitler, dubbed himself a Nazi, and promoted merchandise featuring swastika imagery on his Yeezy website.
West issued an apology in a Wall Street Journal ad earlier this year and insisted that he’s “not a Nazi.”
The Grammy Award-winner also blamed his antisemitic actions on a decades-old car accident that caused his bipolar disease.
“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change,” he said at the time.
The roast — packed with celebrity insults and no-holds-barred shots — proved Davidson is still more than willing to reopen one of Hollywood’s messiest feuds for a killer punchline.
