Kanye West tells pals he NEVER spread untrue rumors Pete Davidson has AIDS – but claimed comic ‘just looks like he does’

KANYE West reportedly told his inner circle that he never spread vile and untrue rumors that Pete Davidson “has AIDS.”

A source told The Sun the “furious” rapper instead claims that his ex’s new boyfriend only “looks like he has.”

Earlier this week, YouTuber DJ Akademiks made the rounds after stating on a : “Kanye’s been telling anybody within an earshot of himself … he’s trying to spread a rumor that Pete Davidson has AIDS.”

Akademiks added, as reported by and shared by : “I’ve heard this from eight people. He’s telling everybody.”

A close source exclusively told The Sun that Kanye, 44, is “furious” and would “never” spread such rumors about ex Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Pete, 28, though the immature truth reportedly isn’t far off.

The insider said: “Kanye is raging about people claiming he said Pete has AIDS. He is furious the whole world would think he said that.

“He said [the] words Pete ‘looks’ like he has AIDS, not that he ‘had’ AIDS.

“He said he looks like he has AIDS and didn’t understand what Kim [Kardashian] was doing with him.”

The hitmaker’s public ranting heated up in recent weeks – much like the romance between his ex Kim, 41, and her Saturday Night Live star boyfriend, who were first linked in 2021.

Yet, the source added that Kanye cruelly thinks the reality star’s family is fanning the flames of paranoia.

“He even thinks the Kardashians are the ones starting the rumors and is mad with the whole family.”

They continued: “Kanye has been saying that Kim won’t speak to him about it.

“He believes Pete has always had it in for him and has been taking shots about him for a long time on SNL.

“Right now he thinks they all have it out for him.”

PETE’S CONDITION

Pete has Crohn’s Disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation of your digestive tract.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and mouth sores – as well as “inflammation of skin, eyes and joints,” per the .

“There was a point where I couldn’t get out of bed. I was 110 pounds,” Pete once told Howard Stern, per .

“Weed [was] the only thing that would help me eat” he told High Times in 2016 on his alleviating marijuana use – he was diagnosed at age 17.

“I wouldn’t be able to perform on SNL if I didn’t smoke weed.”

KANYE’S THREATS

Kim, 44, filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage.

His recent raging includes a new interview with  where Kanye criticized his ex-wife for kissing Pete on live TV when she made her hosting debut on SNL in October 2021.

During the episode, Kim and Pete locked lips in a sketch about Aladdin and Jasmin.

Noting that he was in New York City to support Kim on the show, Kanye said: “How you gonna bring me to SNL and then kiss the dude you dating right in front of me?”

Kanye also claimed he “went and got the laptop from Ray J,” adding: “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, that’s cool.'”

He continued: “I gave it to her, and she cried when she saw it.”

“You know why she cried when she saw that laptop? It represents how much she’s been used.”

LEGAL MOVE

Kanye also threatened the Kardashian clan with “legal action” during the Hollywood Unlocked interview.

He suggested his intention while discussing how it felt to almost be left out of his daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday party earlier this month.

Kanye said, in part: “I’m going to tell you straight up, don’t play with my kids.

“And it’s going to be all legal. It’s going to be all legal, baby.”

The entertainer seemed to be extremely hurt that he was not “allowed to know” where Chicago’s birthday would be held.

However, he ended up making it to the party and credited Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy Travis Scott with cluing him in.

YE’S EARLIER ANGER

Kanye recently started dating actress Julia Fox, 31, but is still seemingly caught up in the past.

He purchased the $4.5M home directly across the street from Kim’s $60M mansion in Hidden Hills, LA.

The dad of four also put out a new song called EAZY that threatened the comedian.

He rapped: “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.”

Pete reportedly thought the song was “hilarious” though he and Kim have reportedly beefed up their security.

In addition to Chicago, Kim and Kanye share kids North, eight, Saint, six, and Psalm, two.

As a source told the  last week, Kanye’s threats are “actually bringing Pete and Kim closer together.”
