Kim Kardashian has unfollowed her estranged husband Kanye West on Instagram following the rapper's most recent online attack against her boyfriend Pete Davidson.
The "Saturday Night Live" star rejoined Instagram Wednesday. Following Davidson's social media comeback, West followed his account and unleashed a new tirade about the comedian.
"HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME," West wrote in a since-deleted post on his account, Page Six reported.
In another post, the 44-year-old rapper, who now goes by Ye, insisted that he was not harassing Davidson but was just getting "payback."
"This boy thought he could get away with performing this sketch for the team that wrote this for him," West wrote of the 2018 "Weekend Update" segment in which the "King of Staten Island" star criticized the Grammy winner for his MAGA rant. "This is not harassment. This is payback."
Kardashian unfollowed West on the social media platform shortly after the "Donda" artist posted his attacks on Davidson, unnamed sources told Page Six.
Neither Kardashian nor Davidson have publicly responded to West's posts. The comedian also has not yet posted anything to his Instagram account, where he currently only follows his girlfriend and actor Sebastian Stan.
Kardashian, who filed for divorce from West in February 2021, has been linked to Davidson since October last year following her "SNL" hosting debut.
After weeks of making public pleas of reconciliation to Kardashian, West unleashed a days-long tirade against Davidson on Instagram last week, including encouraging fans to "scream" at the actor and say "Kimye forever" if they meet him in real life. The Yeezy designer also shared screenshots of messages he allegedly received from the comedian and his estranged wife.
In one alleged message, the KKW Beauty founder urged West to halt his social media attacks on her boyfriend out of concern for Davidson's safety.
"[You] are creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault," Kardashian allegedly wrote to West.
West responded by telling his fans not to "hurt" Davidson physically, claiming that he was going to "handle the situation" himself.
However, on Tuesday, West wiped his Instagram account and apologized for his social media rants as well as his use of all caps in his since-deleted posts, which he realized made people "feel like I'm screaming at them."
He also acknowledged that sharing the screenshots was "jarring and came off as harassing" Kardashian.
In contrast to her ongoing drama with West, an unnamed source told People that Kardashian finds her relationship with Davidson "refreshing" as it is "drama-free."
"Pete is great for Kim. During the past few months when they have been dating, Kim has been very happy," the source shared. "All the drama with Kanye is still difficult for her, but Pete cheers her up. They haven't had any drama so far. It's very refreshing for Kim."
