Kanye West made ‘Pete Davidson has AIDS’ T-shirts to ridicule comedian for dating his ex Kim Kardashian
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper Kanye West allegedly created T-shirts with vicious messages like "Pete Davidson has AIDS" to ridicule the comedian when the latter was dating his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, Page Six reported on Tuesday, February 25.
The revelation was made by Pierre Louis Auvray, a former senior designer at Kanye's fashion brand Yeezy, during a tell-all interview with journalist Louis Pisano. Auvray worked at the fashion brand between 2019 and 2021.
The designer claimed that Kanye was set on spreading more vicious rumors about Davidson through his apparel. The comedian reportedly dated Kardashian between October 2021 and August 2022. She filed for a divorce from the rapper in February 2021, with the proceedings ending the following year.
Former Yeezy designer's allegations against Kanye West
Auvray claimed that Kanye West went on an unhinged rant against Jewish people and Pete Davidson during a visit to the SoHo House in Austin, Texas.
"He was having this rant about Jewish people, Black people being the first Jewish people, and telling people that Pete Davidson had AIDS,” the designer recalled, before adding, "It was sickening.”
Later, the rapper's general manager, Laurence Chandler, allegedly reached out to Auvray to design long-sleeved T-shirts with texts reading, "Pete Davidson has AIDS,” “Pete Davidson hates Black people,” and “Pete Davidson destroys families.”
"I had to fight because I didn’t want to do it,” noted Auvray, adding that he was pressured in the company's group chat by people, including Kanye's current wife Bianca Censori.
While Auvrey put his foot down on giving Kanye what he wanted, she shared alleged screenshots from his chat with Chandler, which contained images of the proposed design.
A source close to Davidson reportedly told Page Six that the designs were "despicable."
