Pete Davidson Says It’s ‘Fair Game’ To Talk About Ariana Grande In His Stand-Up

While doing stand-up at California’s Oxnard Levity Live club this week, Pete Davidson continued to joke about his broken engagement to Ariana Grande. 

Specifically, he talked about her song “Thank U, Next,” in which she name-dropped him as well as ex-boyfriends Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez and the late Mac Miller. He quipped it is “fair game” for him to talk about their relationship since she wrote the song about him. (We agree!) 

He also acknowledged that some people only came to his show to hear what he had to say about Ariana. 

During the set, he also confessed that he has been living with his mom since moving out of Ariana’s New York City apartment after their October split. He joked that his mom has caught him masturbating twice in his life: first as a teenager and more recently when he started living at home again.

According to Us Weekly, some of Pete’s material fell flat as the crowd applauded his self-deprecating humor. One audience member said the set was “good, but I really wanted to give him a hug. It seems like he just really needs a hug.”
