Kanye West And The Game Share Another Video For ‘Eazy’ And It Shows Pete Davidson Getting Beat Up

March 10, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has spent a lot of the newish year attacking Pete Davidson, be it through songs, videos, or posts on Instagram. The rapper is far from pleased that the SNL comedian who is now with Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s ex-wife and mother of his four children. Recently he released a claymation video for “Eazy,” his collaboration with The Game, which shows Kanye putting a hit on Pete, But apparently that wasn’t enough to show his disdain towards Pete. Now, the two have returned with a second video for the same song, in which Pete is yet again the victim.

In the new “Eazy” video, the rappers opt for an animated look that features the skinned monkey that appeared on the song’s cover art. The trio takes a trip through Los Angeles in a Maybach where they visit a tattoo parlor and church. They also stop by a courtroom, where Kanye and his crew turn up as he raps, “N****, we havin’ the best divorce ever / If we go to court, we’ll go to court together.” As the song comes to a close, Kanye sends the skinned monkey to attack a man with his face blurred out while rocking a hoodie that says “Skete,” a name that Kanye has often used to refer to Davidson. As the attack goes down, Kanye raps, “God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”

Pete Davidson Reportedly Found Kanye West’s ‘Eazy’ Video ‘Hysterical’ And ‘Ridiculous’

March 7, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Although Kanye West’s macabre, stop-motion animation video for his and the Game’s new song “Eazy” has ruffled a lot of feathers on the internet, even prompting a response from the artist himself arguing for his right to express himself artistically, at least person — arguably, the person who should be most offended by it — reportedly found it pretty darn amusing.

Pete Davidson, whom Kanye targeted in the video with a claymation effigy that gets kidnapped, buried, and turned into a planter, found Kanye’s video “hysterical,” according to Entertainment Tonight Online. A source told ET that not is Pete “not threatened by Kanye in any way, shape or form,” but that he also “finds the fact that Kanye included a cartoon version of him in his music video hysterical. He is almost flattered by it all because it is so ridiculous to him.”

Kanye’s anger at the comedian stems from the fact that Davidson has been dating Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s ex-wife, for the past several months as the couple takes opposing views on their ongoing divorce. While West wants to reconcile, Kardashian has expressed repeatedly she has no desire to do so, even going so far as to request the court expedite the legal status of their split — which was granted last week, on the same day Kanye shared the “Eazy” video on Instagram.

Kanye’s since taken down the video, replacing it with his post denying that it was a legitimate threat to Davidson. Meanwhile, ETOnline reports that Pete and Kim have decided that the video is an obvious bid to cause friction between them but say it’s done just the opposite, bringing them closer together as Kanye keeps attacking both via social media.

Kanye West Defends His “Eazy” Video: “Art is Therapy”

March 7, 2022 by newhiphopnews

In Kanye West’s latest video for “Eazy,” a collaboration with The Game, an animated Ye buries alive an animated Pete Davidson. The video sparked outrage across the industry, reaching as far as comic book film director James Gunn.

The Suicide Squad director hit social media and let off his feelings in support of Davidson.

“For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know. A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect,” Gunn wrote.

After the tweet went live, Kim Kardashian liked the statement.

For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know. A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect.

Following the backlash on social media, Ye hit Instagram with an image of the burning home from the DONDA 2 Experience in Miami and all the other visuals he has released lately, and a statement:

Art is therapy just like this view

art is protected as freedom of speech

art inspires and simplifies the world

Art is not a proxy for any ill or harm.

Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and mal intended

– Kanye West on Instagram

The Black and white visual, released last Wednesday, begins with the Compton rapper delivering his verse before Kanye kidnaps a claymation version of Davidson.

The disturbing video sees YE putting a bag over Davidson’s head, tying him to the back of an ATV, and dragging him. Eventually, YE buries Davidson alive and plants flowers on his head. At other points in the video, Kanye is carrying animated Pete’s decapitated head.

New Ye Music Video “Eazy” Feat. The Game Shows Him Bury Pete Davidson

March 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

A new claymation video from Ye formerly, Kanye West shows him burying his now ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Pete Davidson.

An animated music video was released this week for the new Kanye West song “Eazy,” feat. west coast rapper The Game, and it shows the 44-year-old rapper kidnapping a character that looks like SNL comedian Pete Davidson and burying him out in the desert.

The video was posted on West’s Instagram account yesterday, less than two hours after a Los Angeles County judge declared his former wife, Kim Kardashian, legally single.

The Skims founder filed for divorce over a year ago. She attended yesterday’s hearing by video link. Ye did not attend. However, his lawyer did not object to the divorce. He did say many legal issues still need to be resolved.

Kim Kardashian has been dating Davidson since October of 2021.

Kanye West Shares An ‘Eazy’ Video In Which He Puts A Hit On A Claymation Pete Davidson

March 2, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has always had an offbeat and kind of juvenile sense of humor — just check out the video for “Famous” — but in his new video for “Eazy,” that humor takes a sharp left turn into the world of the macabre. Filmed in grainy black and white stop-motion animation, the “Eazy” video finds Kanye sending The Game and Eazy-E after his imagined romantic rival Pete Davidson — whose ass, remember, he threatens to beat in the lyrics of the song — to kidnap and bury the comedian up to his neck, turning him into an unorthodox planter.

Kanye’s been borderline hyperfocused on Davidson ever since the SNL member took up with West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian. While Pete’s dating history has been the subject of much amusement online, Kanye hasn’t found it all that funny (he rarely does when he thinks he’s the butt of the joke — the South Park fish sticks gag wasn’t far off the mark). Instead, he’s taken to calling the comedian “Skete” and repeatedly railed against him, writing that he doesn’t want Davidson around his kids and gloating that he had the comedian chased off Instagram.

The timing of Kanye sharing the video is uncanny; earlier today, a judge granted Kardashian single status, effectively ending the couple’s near-seven-year marriage. While Kanye has said that he wants to reconcile — the “Eazy” video even ends with a tongue-in-cheek declaration of his belief that they’ll live happily ever after once Davidson is out of the picture — Kardashian has adamantly and repeatedly said that she has no desire to do so. Something tells me that this video won’t help Kanye’s case much.

Watch the “Eazy” video above.

Kanye West’s Verse On ‘Eazy’ Reportedly Caused Pete Davidson To Hire More Security For Himself

January 19, 2022 by newhiphopnews

This past weekend, Kanye West returned with “Eazy,” his first official release of the year. It features Compton rapper The Game and production from Hit-Boy, for what seems like the first offering from West’s upcoming album, Donda 2. The song also received a lot of attention for shots West directed at Pete Davidson, who is dating his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. “God saved me from that crash,” West raps. “Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.” Davidson has yet to issue any type of response to the song, but according to HipHopDX, it’s forced the SNL comedian to make an adjustment to his life.

The publication reports that Davidson has hired more security to ensure his safety after getting dissed by West. Reports say that friends close to him claim he isn’t concerned about a future interaction with the rapper, but rather, he’s worried that the rapper’s fans will potentially harm him as a result of the song. “His devoted followers listen to his songs and act upon them,” a source that HipHopDX cited says. “That’s why Pete is now using security.”

This comes after Kanye claimed that security at Kim Kardashian’s home wouldn’t allow him to enter and see his children because Davidson was allegedly there at the time.

As for Davidson, it was announced that he and James DeMonaco, the director of the Purge series, will team up for a horror film set at a sinister retirement home.
