Pete Davidson returned to the stage for his first show in three years during the first night of “Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival.”

During the sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday, the “SNL” star brought up his troubled relationship with Kanye West. According to “Entertainment Tonight,” Davidson opened his set by referencing the time Kim Kardashian’s ex allegedly spread a rumor that Davidson had AIDS.

Davidson joked that he believed he had the deadly virus because Ye is “a genius.” He also reportedly quipped that being humiliated is “weird when you can’t do anything about it.”

Davidson has been on the receiving end of West’s attacks after he started dating Kim amid the couple’s divorce. Ye threatened to “beat Pete Davidson’s ass” on his “Eazy” collaboration with The Game, and depicted his kidnapping and burial in the music video. He also took aim at Davidson several times on social media.

Later in his stand-up set, Davidson went on to joke about Jack Harlow collaborating with West on DONDA 2, but said he was not upset about it despite his friendship with Harlow. However, he said that if his King of Staten Island co-star Bill Burr went to Sunday Service, it would be a different story.

The comedian also recalled going to a basketball game with Chris Rock in December 2021. “Before life was over,” he joked, noting that both comics had unfortunate things happen to them afterward. For Rock, it was Will Smith’s infamous slap at the Oscars, while for Davidson, it was having his head cut off in the “Eazy” video.

Ye has since stopped using social media and refrained from attacking Davidson following reports that he is “going away to get help.”

“Kanye has been laying low and focusing on healing. He is trying to disconnect from all the drama that happened between him and Kim,” a source told “ET.” “He is focused on taking care of himself, getting healthier, and removing himself from all the craziness. He cares deeply about his family and kids. They are his number one priority and he’s working on himself.”

DaBaby is facing criminal charges for allegedly assaulting a man who tried to stop him from shooting a music video on his property.

The “Rockstar” rapper has been charged with felony battery by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office over the December 2020 incident. Gary Pagar claims that DaBaby, whose real name is Jonathan Kirk, rented his Runyon Canyon home on condition that no more than 12 people would be on site.

However, Pagar alleges that DaBaby violated the terms of the rental agreement when he showed up with over 40 people, including a film crew, to shoot a music video for his artist Stunna 4 Vegas’ “Play U Lay.”

On Dec. 2, Pagar paid a visit to the home and tried to shut down the production by talking to DaBaby before he was allegedly attacked by someone in the rapper’s crew. TMZ has obtained footage that shows a man pummeling Pagar to the ground before Stunna 4 Vegas breaks up the fight.

In February 2021, Pagar sued DaBaby for assault, breach of contract, and thousands of dollars in property damage. His manager was also named in the suit.

According to the lawsuit, DaBaby ordered the man to stop before allegedly punching Pagar in the face, knocking out his tooth. In addition to being assaulted, Pagar claims he was spat upon and claims that the assailants taunted him by tossing around his phone.

Another man named Thankgod Awute was charged with felony robbery. Prosecutors claim he was DaBaby’s cohort in crime.

This is the latest drama for DaBaby. He recently made headlines after new video surfaced from his fatal 2018 Walmart shooting. DaBaby claimed he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed 19-year-old Jaylin Craig, but the unearthed security footage raises questions about his version of events.

Earlier this month, he allegedly shot an intruder who trespassed at his home in Troutman, North Carolina. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
