He spoke very honestly about the whole thing.
Ariana Grande came pretty damn close to breaking the internet on Saturday night when she released her song ‘thank u, next‘, which addressed all of her ex-boyfriends by name.
Each one of her previous relationships got a mention, as she sang: “Thought I’d end up with Sean, but he wasn’t a match/ Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh/ Even almost got married, and to Pete I’m so thankful/ Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, cos he was an angel.”
The Pete she refers to is comedian Pete Davidson, to whom she was engaged with this year.
The couple broke up just under a month ago, and Davidson has clearly been quite affected by the whole thing.
He deleted all of his social media accounts, and had cancelled a number of his stand-up gigs.
On this weekend’s edition of Saturday Night Live however, Davidson addressed the breakup in a very serious manner.
After a segment in which he criticised the physical appearance of everyone running in the American midterm elections, he stopped the joking and said:
“I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is that it’s nobody’s business. Sometimes things just don’t work out, and that’s okay.
“She’s a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all of the happiness in the world.
“Now please, go vote on Tuesday.”
