Pete Davidson followed by Kanye West upon return to Instagram

Live from Instagram, it’s Pete Davidson — and Kanye West’s keeping an eye on him.

The “Saturday Night Live” star, 28, has quietly returned to Instagram, with zero posts, nearly 1 million followers, and just two people he’s chosen to follow — including girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

Sebastian Stan is the only other person Davidson is following at the time of publication, though the link between the comedian and the “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” star remains murky.

Davidson following Kardashian, 41, is no surprise. They’ve been linked since shortly after her late 2021 “SNL” hosting gig and Davidson earlier this month publicly referred to the reality star as his girlfriend for the first time.

More surprising though is that West — now going by “Ye” — has already followed Davidson. West has been attacking Davidson on social media of late while trying to get Kardashian back in his good graces.

The rapper, 44, on Thursday posted a photo of Davidson on the sketch staple wearing a red, MAGA-esque hat that reads: “Make Kanye 2006 Again.”

“HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?” West captioned the photo.

At the time of publication, West only has three Instagram posts available — having deleted many of the more irate posts directed at Kardashian and Davidson he put up in recent days.

West, who earlier this year went on a bizarre, much-publicized date with “Uncut Gems” breakout Julia Fox, last week shared photos in a since-deleted post from Kardashian’s latest Vogue cover shoot, which featured their kids and, in all caps, wrote: “God please bring our family together.”

Kardashian said in her Vogue interview that her recent resolve to “make myself happy” may have “created changes and caused my divorce.” She stuck by her move, saying, “I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”

West last month was allegedly “telling everyone within earshot” that Davidson had AIDS, claims the former reportedly dismissed as “nonsense.”

The reported rumor mill he fueled came in the weeks after Kardashian filed late last year to be legally single, months after splitting from West.

In her filing, Kardashian reportedly said: “No counseling or reconciliation effort will be of any value at this time.

“Irreconcilable differences have existed and continue to exist,” the filings read.
