Kanye West in a new video for his single “Eazy” depicted scenarios where he buried Pete Davidson alive – to the chagrin of most of his online followers. Kanye who now prefers to be called Ye released the disturbing video on Tuesday, a few hours after a court consented to Kim Kardashian’s request to be declared legally single.
Kim, 41, requested a court to declare her single again when she filed for divorce from Kanye one year ago. Kim alleged in court filings that her seven-year marriage with Kanye was filled with emotional abuse and terror, citing instances where she feared for the mental health of the rapper. Following the filing, Kim became estranged from Kanye, 44, and started dating 28-year-old Pete Davidson while Kanye struck it off with Julia Fox.
While the estranged couple is now legally single, the court hearing for their divorce proceeding has been scheduled for August 5.
Although Kanye has done everything within his power to get Kim back without success – including sending a truck of flowers to her on Valentine’s Day and threatening to deal with Davidson – attorney Samantha Spector said all the rapper wants is his four children: North, 8; Saint, 6; Chicago, 4; and Psalm, 2.
“Kanye’s paperwork has always indicated that his problems with the divorce were only procedural,” Spector said. “Moreover, he was always in support of the divorce only if Kim satisfied the procedural requirements to protect rights under the California law. Ye is focusing his entire attention on their children.”
In the music video released a few hours after the court declared them legally single, Kanye presents a clay animation of Davidson in which he tied him with ropes before burying him. In one scene, Kanye kidnaps Davidson and then puts a bag over his head before tying him up and throwing him on the back of a vehicle. He raps that “God saved me from the crash just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**” in the scene.
In another scene, Kanye ties up Davidson again and then drags him on the ground before burying him with his head above the ground while his body is in the ground. Many Kanye’s and Kim’s fans find the video depictions disturbing, with some of them calling for Kim and Pete to obtain a restraining order against the rapper.
“That Kanye video is actually disturbing, Pete needs to sue and file a restraining order,” a Twitter user wrote. And another added that “I love Kanye but this petty s— is embarrassing and everyone praising him for it clearly doesn’t give a f— about him. Like if something happens to Pete, Kanye will truly be f—ed cause he’s leaving all the evidence online”.
