‘Bam. She named all of us’: Pete Davidson opens up about his reaction to ‘Thank U, Next’ on New Year’s gig
Pete Davidson opened up about his reaction to being namechecked in his ex Ariana Grande’s smash hit single Thank U, Next during a New Year’s Eve stand-up comedy show.
At the start of November, just weeks after she broke off her engagement to the comedian, Ariana released the single, in which she references her exes Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, the late rapper Mac Miller and Pete, with her singing she was “so thankful” for him.
During a stand-up gig in Boston on Monday night, the 25-year-old shared his thoughts on the tune, which was released just before he was going on air with Saturday Night Live.
“That s— came out before I had to put on a f—ing duck hat and be like, ‘Derrrp, here’s the pizza (sic)!’ So all my friends were there,” he recalled. “It was a sad day. We didn’t know it was going to happen. (I thought) This won’t be easy, this is rough. So I start playing it. We’re like, ‘Okay, it’s not that bad for you. It’s bad, but it’s not that bad for you.’”
Pete’s comments suggest he didn’t hear it ahead of its release, but Ariana told Billboard in December that she sent the track to everyone in advance as she didn’t want to “blindside anybody” mentioned by name.
Continuing to discuss the tune, Pete told the audience: “Here’s the thing about the breakup song. Usually breakup songs you know who it’s about but you don’t really know. That G named all of us. Bam. She named all of us.”
“And then, tells us, yeah, he has a big d—,” he added, referring to comments the singer made about his manhood, before mentioning that his mother, a school nurse, has even had to face taunts from students over the song.
On the SNL episode which aired shortly after the single dropped, Pete addressed the split, telling viewers it was nobody’s business and calling Ariana a “wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world.”
The show marked the funnyman’s first stand-up comedy set since he sparked concerns for his wellbeing by sharing his suicidal thoughts on social media. During his set, Pete also took aim at Louis C.K., who is attempting a comeback after being accused of sexual harassment, claiming he once told SNL producers “he’s (Pete’s) gonna smoke his career away” and that he “smokes so much weed that it makes people uncomfortable.”
