Pete Davidson made a controversial joke about Charlie Kirk’s assassination as he also called former rival Kanye West a ‘gay Nazi.’
Conservative commentator Kirk died aged 31 on September 10, 2025 after being fatally shot in the neck during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
The 32-year-old comedian made light of the assassination as he performed at The Roast of Kevin Hart at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on Sunday night which was livestreamed on Netflix.
He was poking fun at fellow performer Tony Hinchcliffe when he made the disgusting joke as he said: ‘Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.
‘Oh, you don’t know me? Kill Tony. Please someone f***ing kill Tony.’
At the time of his passing, Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA released a statement which read: ‘It’s with a heavy heart that we, the Turning Point USA leadership team, write to notify you that early this afternoon, Charlie went to his eternal reward with Jesus Christ in Heaven.’

Kirk is survived by wife Erika Kirk and their two children, a daughter and son born in 2022 and 2024, respectively.
Davidson did not stop with the distasteful joke about Kirk as he also made a wild joke about West, 48, four years after their infamous beef over Kim Kardashian.

He and 48-year-old rapper famously went back-and-forth in ugly social media exchanges centered around the 45-year-old SKIMS mogul while she was dating the former.
In 2022, Davidson famously ended up in ‘trauma therapy’ as a result of online bullying he received at the hand of West despite trading his own barbs and even sending the rapper a photo of himself in bed with Kardashian before their divorce was made official.
Now four years later, Davidson has blasted West once again as he joked: ‘I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.’
Daily Mail has reached out to West’s representatives for comment and has yet to hear back.
West has famously made antisemitic remarks over the years and back in January he released a lengthy statement apologizing for his controversial statements.
Davidson calling West gay may be a bit perplexing as he has been married to architectural designer Bianca Censori, 31, since December 2022.

The two men famously had a very public feud years ago over mother-of-four Kardashian.
Davidson and West previously had a cordial relationship as they even part of a small group celebrating Kid Cudi’s birthday in January 2019 alongside Timothee Chalamet – who is now dating Kylie Jenner – in snaps documented by Kardashian.

However, that all changed when Davidson and Kardashian began dating in October 2021 after the latter hosted Saturday Night Live and shared a kiss with the former in an Aladdin sketch.
This came months after Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021. They tied the knot in May 2014.
In January 2022, a song snippet from the track Eazy was leaked where West rapped ‘God saved me from the crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.’ He later released accompanying videos for the song which featured a claymation character resembling Davidson being decapitated and buried.
The following month, West took the beef to social media as he famously gave Davidson the nickname ‘Skete.’
Then in March 2022, things really took a turn as a text message conversation between Davidson and West was leaked in which the former infamously told the latter that he was ‘in bed with your wife’ alongside with a selfie of Davidson laying in bed with his tongue out while doing the peace sign.
The feud continued as Davidson made jokes about West in a standup special released by Netflix in April 2022 before he joked about the rapper once again in his final episode of SNL aired in May 2022.

At the time, West took the opportunity to get one last shot in at Davidson as he shared a photoshopped newspaper headline that read ‘Skete Davidson Dead At Age 28.’
It was also revealed at the time that Davidson had sought out professional help after months of online harassment from West.
A source told People in August 2022: ‘He has been in trauma therapy in large part [due to Kanye].
‘The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he’s had to seek out help.’
Davidson is currently in a relationship with model Elsie Hewitt as they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, five months ago.
