Pete Davidson may be a well-known comedian, but he says Ariana Grande made him famous.
The Saturday Night Live member was in an interview with Sean Evans for First We Feast’s Hot Ones, where he chomped on some very spicy wings and touched on his previous relationship with the “Thank U, Next” singer and how she increased his celebrity.
When asked if he could find humor in paparazzi following him around, he admitted that he couldn’t.
“It’s really annoying because I live in Staten Island and they come there now ’cause, like, Ariana Grande made me all famous and stuff, so it’s all her fault,” he jokingly said. “It is! She sent the wolves on me. She made me and created me, or whatever they say.”
The comedian also noted that these days, the photographers don’t influence how he dresses or looks.
“I don’t really try to dress. I used to, when I had the ‘gram. ‘Cause you just scroll through, like, Hype Beast and you’re like, ‘Oh, Off-White shoes. I guess that’s what the cool kids are wearing.’ And then you realize, like, when you’re not online that that’s what broke kids think that’s what rich people should wear. And it’s lame,” he explained. “I stopped dressing at all or caring about anything like that at all. It’s a really great feeling once you finally just give up.”
Davidson and Grande went public with their romance in May 2018 and got engaged in June of that year. By October, they ended their engagement.
