On his Instagram, Kanye shared a screenshot of the SNL star from the scene, which was a Weekend Update bit.
In it, Pete wore a red hat that said: “Make Kanye 2006 Again.”
Ye slammed him in the caption, writing: “HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?”
The old Weekend Update sketch opened up with Colin Jost welcoming Pete on to talk about Ye.
He said: “Last week, Kanye West performed on the show and afterwards gave an unplanned speech to the audience in support of Donald Trump.
“Here with his reaction to Kanye’s speech is Pete Davidson.”

Joining the Update table, Pete began: “A lot of people thought [Michael] Che should be the one to talk about Kanye, but we discussed it.
“Because Che is Black, but I’m crazy, and we both know which side of Kanye is at the wheel right now.”
He continued: “Kanye, I know you’re like, ‘This is the real me. I’m off the meds.’… Take ‘em!
"No shame in the medicine game. I’m on them. It’s great.”
Pete then added: “Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jacka**, okay? I’m quoting my therapist, my mom, and my mailman."
At the very end, referencing that Kanye wore a red MAGA hat while on SNL, Pete brought out his own version to wear, though his said Make Kanye 2006 Again.
After bringing up the old SNL episode, Kanye then posted again to include a video of the segment.
He captioned it: "This boy thought he could get away with performing this sketch for the team that wrote this for him.
"This is not harassment This is payback."
Although Ye didn't tag Pete in the latest posts, the latest rant comes just after the comedian rejoined Instagram this week.
Ye, despite slamming Kim's boyfriend multiple times online over the last few days, followed him on the platform.
Over the weekend, the father of four 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.
KUWTK alum Kim 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.
After seeing messages from many, Kanye issued a public apology to his reality star ex and her new boyfriend.
Alongside a photo of him performing, he 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."
Despite the apology and saying that he learned more about what using all caps for his captions means, he used all uppercase for his latest post about Pete.
He then switched to lowercase for his follow-up post, where he admitted he wants "payback" against Kim's boyfriend.
The comedian has not followed the rapper back on Instagram and currently only follows his girlfriend Kim and actor Sebastian Stan.
The comedian had previously deleted his social media in 2018 to protect his mental health.
He wrote the time: "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.
