Trevor Noah backs Kim Kardashian, says Kanye feud with Pete Davidson may turn violent
Comedian and TV star Trevor Noah warned that the public feud between the famous trio with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and Pete Davidson could get ugly. Highlighting his own experience with abuse Noah pointed out that while Ye started by making gestures like delivering a truck full of roses to Kim could be passed as “romantic”, his actions have become progressively “belligerent” in course of time.
‘The Daily Show’ host talked about West’s music video for the song ‘Eazy’ which shows him kidnapping and then burying a Claymation version of his ex-wife’s current love interest, Pete Davidson alive. Adding “I do understand art can be therapy, I honestly do understand that, but I also understand that therapy can be therapy. Do you know what I mean?"

The 38-year-old proceeded to dissect the feud in the light of Kanye’s mental health issues saying, “What’s weird about the situation is Kanye West has told us he struggles with his mental health. So I get it, you want to have artist therapy, but here is what’s weird that Kanye doesn’t understand, is what we’re seeing is — it makes you uncomfortable, man.”
“Two things can be true, Kim likes publicity. Kim is also being harassed.” He continued. Noah further reveals that violence was never West’s “schtick,” making his reaction to the whole situation including “his harassment of Kim,” a strong cause of alarm considering his mental health.
Noah acknowledged that while Kim famously publicizes her life, she is still a “woman saying to her ex, hey, please leave me alone.” “This story keeps on escalating. You’ve got Kanye West who’s harassing Kim Kardashian and then you’ve got Pete Davidson who’s now embroiled in the whole thing,” Noah added, referring to texts that Davidson sent to West while allegedly in bed with Kardashian.
Noah also called out Pete Davidson for starting a conversation with Ye in that way and later offering to help with the rapper’s mental health stressing that these remarks possibly acted as triggers for Ye who is already struggling with mental health issues.
Further, Noah went on to relate his own experience with the feud, sharing that people often told his mother that she was “overreacting” concerning the violence in her home. “For years, people said this shit, ah, no, you know, this happens, that happens. Everyone — police, some families, strangers, whatever it was. And I’ll never forget I got a call from my brother saying mom has just been shot in the head. She’s in the hospital and she’s just been shot,” Noah said.
Noah also cleared the air by saying that his agenda is not to make this whole thing about him rather it is an explanation for why he views the story differently. “But as a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming? Or do we at least want to say, ‘Slow down, let’s all put our hazards on because there’s a storm coming and shit might go down. If Kim Kardashian cannot escape this, then what chance do normal women have?” he added.
