A lot of fans are wondering how Ye feels about his tattoo partner hanging out with Kim Kardashian's ex.

Of course, this is all just speculation and Internet gossip, but it's still quite an interesting question to consider. Moreover, recent reports suggested that Pete Davidson would return to SNL this year to host, about a year after having left as cast member. After a few days of speculation, the long-running sketch comedy show confirmed the news. Also, they billed Lil Uzi Vert as its musical guest for the evening. However, that news also caused a lot of people to realize that there's one celebrity that links these two figures together. It's none other than Kanye West, and now some fans probably wonder how Ye feels about all this.

For those unaware, Kanye and Uzi go way back. Most recently, they actually got matching tattoos with Steve Lacy. Said picture went viral for the crazy link-up between these three creatives. Also, the two were featured guests on Travis Scott's "Watch," a single from 2018 that preceded much of the hype for the then-unreleased ASTROWORLD. As such, many wonder if the Chicago MC will have a tense reaction to the "Just Wanna Rock" star being billed alongside his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend.

Will Kanye West Be Mad At Lil Uzi Vert Linking With Pete Davidson?

Of course, the main reason why a lot of people wonder this is because of Kanye West falling out with Kid Cudi. That was because of the latter's friendship with Pete Davidson. As such, many wonder if Lil Uzi Vert will share the same fate. Previously, Cudi said that it would take a "miracle" to reconcile with Ye. Considering all the great music they made together, such a conclusion is quite tragic.

"With all due respect, I’m not Drake, who’s about to take a picture with him next week and be friends again. And their beef is squashed," Kid Cudi told Esquire in an interview. "That’s not me. What I say, I mean. I will be done with you. It’s gonna take a motherf***ing miracle for me and that man to be friends again. I don’t see it happening. He gon’ have to become a monk. The twisted thing is that I love him, but I love you so much that I can kick you the f**k out of my life and be done with your a**. ’Cause you are not good for me. I love myself more. I didn’t love myself all them years you knew me." Regardless of your take, return to HNHH for more on Pete Davidson, Lil Uzi Vert, and Kanye West.
