Pierre Louis Auvray, a former senior designer at Yeezy, has levied accusations against Kanye West, alleging that the rapper created inflammatory merchandise aimed at comedian Pete Davidson out of resentment stemming from Davidson's relationship with Kim Kardashian. Auvray contends that West's fury intensified over Davidson's bond with their children at their former marital abode in Hidden Hills and the tattoos Davidson bore in their honor, serving as the catalyst for the conception of distressing T-shirts.
According to Auvray, West devised shirts emblazoned with inflammatory slogans such as "Pete Davidson has AIDS," "Pete Davidson Hates Black People," and "Pete Davidson Destroys Families." He recounted, "I had to stand my ground despite immense pressure from within Yeezy, including from Bianca Censori, as I couldn't bring myself to participate in such a venture."
Auvray also narrated a harrowing incident at the SoHo House in Austin, Texas, where West allegedly unleashed a tirade filled with inappropriate remarks. He reminisced, "West embarked on a rant about Jewish people, claiming that black people were the original Jews, and declaring to all within earshot that Pete Davidson had AIDS. It was a revolting spectacle."
West's public venom towards Davidson reached new heights when he circulated a mock newspaper headline after their breakup, reading, "Skete Davidson dead at age 28," a nickname laden with derogation. Kardashian and Davidson's nine-month romance came to an end in 2022, reportedly due to grueling schedules and geographical distance, though they have maintained a platonic friendship.
