Pete Davidson Kicks Fans Out For Breaking No-Phone Rule At Stand-Up Comedy Show

by

For those unaware, Pete Davidson has a pretty strict “no-phone policy” at his stand-up comedy shows, and a fan couple learned that the hard way. Moreover, he interrupted his set at the City Winery on Thursday night (November 2) to call out two people who brought three phones to the show. “F**k you,” the King of Staten Island allegedly told them according to Page Six, and asked authorities to escort them out. “There was a couple in attendance who brought 3 phones into the venue which was confirmed when they were escorted out by security and had all content removed,” his representative reportedly relayed to the publication.

Furthermore, the comedian apparently said that he spends $10,000 to “lock up” phones before continuing his show, Us Weekly reports. According to these publications, he went on with the stand-up routine without referencing the incident or the policy again. “It’s unfortunate one bad seed disrupted Pete Davidson’s performance,” City Winery added in its statement. “Our staff takes pride in providing a great atmosphere for all of our performers and attendees.” This practice of “locking up phones” is common in comedy shows these days, both to prevent bits from being criticized out of context online and as a general privacy rule that could apply to any sort of performance.

Nevertheless, this means that we don’t really know for sure what the SNL alum spoke on for the entirety of the show. Still, these reports were able to provide at least some detail as to what Pete Davidson spoke on and joked about. He went through his personal struggles, highs, and lows as any other comedian would, such as his addiction and trying to get his mom a partner. In addition, the 29-year-old also talked about attempting to receive “good press” following his reckless driving incidents.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this situation? Is this “no-phone policy” beneficial for artists and performers or does it end up just being a way to exert power over an audience? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Pete Davidson.

Victor Wembanyama Continues To Grow In NBA

Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama scored a career-high 38 points in the fifth game of his rookie season as the Spurs improved to 3-2 at the expense of the Suns. It was the second time this week that San Antonio has gotten the better of Phoenix. 10 of Wembanyama’s points came in the final 4:15 of the game, outscoring the entire Suns roster over that same period. Furthermore, the game marked Wembanyama’s second NBA double-double as he also notched 10 rebounds in the 132-121 win. Additionally, the French rookie knew exactly what to say when asked if he felt he was a clutch player. “It’s a requirement if we’re being ambitious,” he told reporters.

However, Wemby also showed some astute insight as he mulled the win. “Every game is different. We got our third win. Every game we try to find the spots that we need to hurt them. Today, it might have been in this way. Tomorrow, it will be someone else. That is how great teams work. If we want to be great, we need to play with everyone,” he explained. His performance comes in as the third-best performance by a rookie in history. David Robinson holds the top two spots, with 40 and 39-point performances in his 1990 rookie season.

From featuring classic Hip-Hop tracks in trailers to enlisting Hip-Hop artists as playable characters, Call of Duty has made its mark on the genre.

Megan Thee Stallion Sheds Her Past and Enters New Era with ‘Cobra’ Music Video

Megan Thee Stallion Sheds Her Past and Enters New Era with ‘Cobra’ Music Video

Words by: Jordyn Taylor

Megan Thee Stallion emerges from the depths of a venomous snake in her new drop, “Cobra.” In a glossy video directed by Douglas Bernardt, guitar riffs, and 808s adorn the rapper’s story about her time in the light recently and the hit her mental health has taken since. 

This is her first self-funded release after her long-winded battle with her former label, 1501 Entertainment. She hit the ground running with Hot Girl Production’s first single, serving us scales, 

Baring herself in the single, Megan addresses what’s been happening recently, and it’s a lot. She opens up about her depression, admitting that she has dealt with suicidal thoughts and used drinking as a coping mechanism. Visuals of snakes and characters with phones out and stone faces symbolize the eyes on her while she is alone and at her lowest. 

She sang: “Every night I cried, I almost died / And nobody close tried to stop me / Long as  / everybody gettin’ paid, right? / Everything’ll be okay, right? / I’m winnin’, so nobody trippin’ / Bet if I ever fall off, everybody go missin’”. 

Fans also get an inside note on what may have happened between her and rapper ​​Pardison Fontaine. 

The star rapped: ‘Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his d*ck sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’’. The line points the finger at the rapper whom she broke off a three-year relationship with earlier this year.

This isn’t the first time that the Houston Hottie has spoken on mental health and her challenges. On her last album, Traumauzine, fans got closer to the rapper on tracks like “Anxiety,” noting the grief surrounding her and her late mother’s relationship.

In September of last year, she launched her mental health hub, ‘Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too.’ The platform lists resources for free treatment, crisis hotlines, and organizations that specifically assist the Black community, including therapy for Black women and men. 

Both a mental health advocate and a rapper just keeping it real, Megan Thee Stallion has the world anticipating her next singles ‘hatching’ soon.
