The rapper has been exhibiting concerning behaviour over the past few months over his divorce proceedings with Kim Kardashian. West has made its displeasure over Kim and Pete Davidson's relationship very obvious and sent harassing messages on Instagram.
In a music video for his song 'Eazy,' West even included a Claymation version of Davidson, which was kidnapped, tied up and buried. The video was eventually brought down after fans called out the rapper for the violence depicted in the video. Reportedly even Kardashian was "furious" and "upset" by the clip.
