suffering from the disease. After Davidson began dating West’s ex-wife Kim

PETE MADE JOKES ABOUT THE RAPPERS’ COMMENTS

After West’s claim, Davidson joked that he went to the doctor to get checked for
AIDS because he was “a genius,” but was informed he didn’t have it, only that he
looked like he had. Throughout the set, he made several more nods to West’s
comments, including saying that none of his friends or fellow comedians knew how
to help him deal with the attacks and just wished him luck.

eye on him.
