Kanye West slams Pete Davidson again for joking about his mental health on SNL

Kanye West has lashed out - yet again - at Pete Davidson by unearthing a joke the comedian made about his mental health.

It comes after the 44-year-old rapper let rip at Pete, 28, over the weekend in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts branding him a "d***head", mocking his Hillary Clinton tattoo and sharing a private message from him.

Despite being warned by ex Kim Kardashian - who is dating Pete - that he was "creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will all be [his] fault", Kanye has returned to criticising the comedian.

Sharing a photo of Pete on Saturday Night live in 2018, he is seen wearing a Trump MAGA-style red cap on that reads: "MAKE KANYE 2006 AGAIN."

The comedian had appeared on SNL to give his thoughts on Kanye's strange speech defending Donald Trump on stage and tweets that the 13th Amendment, which outlaws slavery, should be abolished.

Kanye later clarified his comments, tweeting: "the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals."

Reacting to Kanye's speech at the time, Pete said on SNL: "First off, a lot of people thought [Michael] Che should be the one to talk about Kanye but we discussed - because Che's black, but I'm crazy and we both know which side Kanye's on at the wheel right now. So, off to a good start!"

He went on to joke about Kanye's behaviour and comments before - at the end of skit - Pete put on the red cap.

Captioning the screen grab he had taken of the moment, Kanye wrote: "HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?"

He went on to share a clip of Pete telling him to take his meds.

In the video, Pete is seen saying: "Kanye, I know you're like, 'Yo, this is the real me, I'm off the meds'. Take 'em. No shame in the medicine game. I'm on them, it's great."

Kanye captioned the post: "This boy thought he could get away with performing this sketch for the team that wrote this for him This is not harassment This is payback."

Earlier this week, Kanye also issued an apology to Kim following his rants at Pete and sharing private messages between himself and her.

While attending the Super Bowl with his children, Kanye found himself at the centre of scrutiny after he was booed by thousands of fans after his social media rant.

Kanye has now deleted all of his posts, including those declaring that he will bring his family back together again, and shared another contemplating on his actions over the last few days.

He wrote: "I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders.

"Thank everybody for supporting me. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener."
