STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- On New Year’s Day, “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson made his first stand-up appearance since posting an alarming Instagram note that led the NYPD to conduct a wellness check.
The Great Kills native rang in 2019 on a Massachusetts stage, talking about his breakup with Ariana Grande and what has happened since, according to The New York Times.
While he was reportedly greeted by thunderous applause, not all of it was welcomed.
When the crowd started to clap in response to talking about his breakup, the comedian said, “I’ll stop if you’re going to be stupid,” according to the report.
Davidson went on to talk about how students at a school where his mother teaches taunted her by singing “thank u, next” as she walked through the halls, the report said. As a result, Davidson said the students were summoned to the principal’s office to sing it in front of four administrators, according to the Times.
Davidson also spilled some details on how he really reacted to Grande’s song, which singled out all her past relationships, including their short engagement.
“Here’s the thing about the breakup song," Davidson said, according to the report. "Usually [with] breakup songs you know who it’s about, but you don’t really know. That G named all of us. Bam. She named all of us.”
