Kanye West trolls Pete Davidson 1 day after comedian rejoins Instagram
The rapper called out the 'SNL' star for a past joke about his mental health in 2018
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kanye West was quick to call out Pete Davidson shortly after the "Saturday Night Live" star rejoined Instagram.
A new verified profile for Davidson went live on Wednesday. It's reportedly the fourth time he's rejoined the social media platform since first ditching it in 2018. Less than 24 hours since rejoining the platform, Davidson received follows from both his famous girlfriend Kim Kardashian and her estranged husband West.
By Thursday morning, West called out Davidson once again, this time calling attention to the comic's 2018 "Weekend Update" skit about the rapper on "SNL." West's post shows a screenshot of Davidson wearing a red hat that says, "MAKE KANYE 2006 AGAIN."

Now, West has responded. "HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?" he captioned the post.

Davidson's return to the social media platform came days after he was blasted online by West for his relationship with Kardashian. The Yeezy founder took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day and shared a screenshot of his ex Kardashian enjoying a date night with Davidson.
The paparazzi snap showed the pair leaving hand-in-hand from Lilia restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. While Kardashian, 41, wore a shimming fringe coat with a silver dress and metallic boots, Davidson, 28, kept his look more casual with baggy jeans and a flannel shirt.
"I DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH KIM I LOVE MY FAMILY SO STOP THAT NARRATIVE IM NOT GIVING UP ON MY FAMILY," the 44-year-old began his post. "I BOUGHT THIS COAT FOR KIM BEFORE SNL I THOUGHT IT WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL I HAVE FAITH THAT WE‘LL BE BACK TOGETHER I NEVER HAD ANYTHING AGAINST DAILYMAIL I GOT LOVE FOR EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA AND I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD."

"THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY," West wrote for his 12.6 million followers. "MY FAMILY MEANS MORE TO ME THAN ANY OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT IN LIFE."
