Social media users were outraged by Ye's music video, which appeared to show Pete Davidson in claymation being buried alive.
Ye uses the phrase "Beating Davidson" in his lyrics to refer to Ye's ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Ye appears to kidnap Davidson and place a hood on his head before burying him alive in the "Eazy" video posted Wednesday.
Ye is seen holding what appears to be a disembodied skull at another point. The last few frames contain text titles that read: "Everybody lived happily ever thereafter... except Skete, you know who." JK, he's fine.
Representatives of Ye and Davidson didn't immediately respond to a request.
Ye posted the video to his verified Instagram account as well as a YouTube account for Stem Player. Ye supports this business venture and it is the only place where Ye's new album "Donda 2", has been made freely available. The Instagram video was viewed over 3.8 million times.
Social media users called the video " distressing " and " disturbing ". Some expressed concern about Davidson's safety.
One Instagram user commented, "This video is disturbing." "Clearly, that's Pete. This should be cause for concern. As everyone gives their hearts to Kanye, people should call 911 to help Pete and get Kanye mental health care.
One Twitter user called Ye "sick person" claiming that others have excused him for his behavior due to his music.
Stop feeling sorry for him. They wrote that he knows y'all will allow him to get away with things like this because he had good beats. He's harassing Kim, Pete, and putting his children at risk. It's not funny."
After Davidson was attacked repeatedly and a court ruling declaring Kardashian legally single, the video is now.
Kardashian filed paperwork last month with the court citing Ye's use of social media as causing her "emotional distress". She asked for permission to split their marriage. Ye opposed the bifurcation of their marriage last month.
Kardashian filed that Kardashian had been spreading misinformation about our private family affairs and co-parenting via social media, which caused emotional distress. I believe Kanye will accept that our marital relationships are over and move on to a better path that will allow us to peacefully co-parent our children.
Ye's lawyer refuted Kardashian's comments about his social media posts. Ye's lawyer wrote an objection to the statement that Kardashian had been spreading misinformation on social media. This objection was obtained by E! News. News. Kim claims that she has read something online, allegedly by Kanye, and describes the posts in her declaration of misinformation.
Ye shared screenshots from Kardashian in an Instagram post that was since deleted. He expressed concern about his social media posts creating a dangerous and frightening environment for Davidson. Ye apologized for sharing photos of their communications and admitted that it was "harassing Kim."
Kardashian was granted legal single status by a judge on Wednesday. This happened the same day as the "Eazy” video.
Kardashian's representative did not respond to our request for comment on Thursday.
