Pete Davidson Allegedly Checked Ye FKA Kanye West Via Now Deleted Text Messages
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, employed social media to take digs at his estranged wife Kim Kardashian‘s romantic partner, Pete Davidson, often using violent gestures at times.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Ronald Martinez / Getty The Kanye West Is Reckless on Social Media Tour is chugging right along with no end in sight.

Kanye West Posts Divorce Poem To Instagram Following Kim Kardashian’s Restored Single Status
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Byron Cohen / Getty Welp, it happened. Kim Kardashian is finally legally a single woman again, and, of course, Kanye West is in his feelings about it.
