Kanye West follows Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Pete Davidson on Instagram – before deleting post
KANYE West has followed Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Pete Davidson on Instagram - days after tearing into him online.
The 44-year-old rapper, who admitted to “harassing” his ex Kim and new boyfriend Pete, decided to follow the Saturday Night Live comedian on the social media platform.
Pete, 28, has rejoined Instagram just days after Kanye targeted him with numerous insults.
The Flashing Lights singer became one of Pete's 565,000 followers on the site - but Pete has yet to follow him back, currently only following Kim and actor Sebastian Stan.
Kanye reportedly posted a photo showing that he followed Pete but then deleted it.
Actor and comedian Pete previously deleted his social media in 2018 to protect his mental health.
He wrote the time, writing: "No there's nothing wrong. No nothing happened. No there's nothing cryptic about anything. I just don't wanna be on Instagram anymore. Or on any social media platform.

"The internet is an evil place and it doesn't make me feel good. Why should I spend any time on negative energy when my real life is f***ing lit. The fact that I even have to say this proves my point. I love you all and I'm sure I'll be back at some point. your neighborhood goon, Pete."
YE'S APOLOGY
It comes after Kanye issued a public apology to reality royalty Kim and her boyfriend Pete.
Alongside a photo of him performing, Kanye wrote: "I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication.
"I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders."
After he thanked "everybody for supporting" him, the rapper continued: "I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim.
"I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time."
The apology concluded: "I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener."
TARGETING PETE
Just days earlier, Kanye made a number of nasty claims about the Saturday Night Live star.
In one post, Kanye called Pete a "d**khead" and accused him of "destroying" their family.
The KUWTK alum and Kanye, who were married for nearly seven years, share kids North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and Psalm, two.
Kanye also threatened to "beat Pete's a**" and declared "war" on him.
LEAKED TEXTS
Additionally, Kanye leaked texts that were allegedly from Kim.
In the messages, Kim begged the rapper to stop "creating danger".
The text read: "You are creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault."
Moments later, Kanye shared another alleged text conversation with his ex-wife, where she thanked him for taking her request seriously.
The TV personality wrote: "Well thank you. There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn't have to be."
He then replied: "I will always do everything to protect you and our family forever.
"And I listened to you and told everyone to make sure nothing physical happens to Skete."
Kanye had been referring to the SNL comedian as "Skete" in his numerous rants.
The rapper posted a screenshot from the film Baby Boy where one actor had the other in a headlock, which he captioned: "UPON MY WIFE’S REQUEST PLEASE NOBODY DO ANYTHING PHYSICAL TO SKETE IM GOING TO HANDLE THE SITUATION MYSELF."
However, Kanye continued to leak more private messages between him and his ex as the day went on.
'LEAVE HER ALONE'
Before Kanye issued his public apology, The Sun exclusively revealed that Kim begged her ex to "leave her alone."
An insider said: “Kim is really upset about Kanye’s social media rants and how he’s posting everything she sends him.
