Kanye West addresses backlash over ‘Eazy’ video Kanye West | Pete Davidson Kanye West addresses Pete Davidson Controversy It's not new that Kanye West is angry and hates Pete Davidson. Kanye West has repeatedly expressed this anger in public. But Kanye West's recent music video, in which Pete is abducted and killed, is highly violent and has been widely criticized. Kanye West has responded to these criticisms. Kanye West Says ‘Art Is Not a Proxy for Any Ill or Harm’ Amid “Eazy” Video and Pete Davidson Controversy. Kanye West appears to have addressed the backlash he faced over the music video for his track ‘Eazy’, which was shared last week. The artist formerly known as Kanye West has shared a brief message about art being “not a proxy for any ill or harm” amid ongoing coverage of his and The Game’s recently released “Eazy” video, which features what’s widely been interpreted as a claymation-depicted imagining of a Pete Davidson-inspired character being kidnapped. In an Instagram post on Sunday that also included a screenshot from the recently released video (see below), Ye argued that “any suggestion otherwise” is false. Controversies of the music video depiction variety aren’t unfamiliar to longtime Ye fans, who will recall the discourse spurred by the 2016 release of the official video for the Sister Nancy-sampling Life of Pablo cut “Famous.” That video—which ultimately earned a fan in Heart of Glass director Werner Herzog—featured nude synthetic depictions of Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, Bill Cosby, Amber Rose, and more. The clip featured a claymation version of SNL comedian Pete Davidson – who is currently dating West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian – being kidnapped and buried alive. “Everyone lived happily ever after, except Skete you know who – JK he’s fine,” a series of title cards read at the end of the video. The track itself also includes the lyric: “God saved me from that crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass”. In his latest Instagram post, the rapper appears to have responded to the criticism he faced for the visuals. “Art is therapy just like this view,” he captioned an image of what looks like a church on fire. “Art is protected as freedom of speech. “Art inspires and simplifies the world. Art is not a proxy for any ill or ham. Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and mal intended.” After West shared the ‘Eazy’ video, The Suicide Squad director James Gunn spoke out on Davidson’s behalf. “For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know,” he tweeted. “A truly generous, tender, and funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect.” Davidson worked with Gunn on The Suicide Squad, where he had a small role as mercenary Richard “Dick” Hertz. Last week, Kardashian was granted single status by a judge at Los Angeles County Superior Court, meaning her divorce from Kanye West is a step closer. During the hearing, Kardashian once again stated her desire to dissolve the marriage due to “irreconcilable differences”. West previously told a court that claims he had harassed Kardashian and Davidson on social media were “double hearsay”. “Kim claims she read something online allegedly by Kanye and characterises the posts in her declaration as misinformation,” he said in a statement made via his lawyer. “The social media posts are not attached to the declaration,” the statement continued, before the allegation was dubbed “double hearsay”. Also this week, Kim Kardashian was declared legally single after a Los Angeles judge granted the SKIMS co-founder’s motion requesting the status. In February of last year, she filed for divorce from the Donda 2 artist, with reports at the time stating that “irreconcilable differences” had been cited in the related court documents.
