A sensational story claiming Pete Davidson discussed his past relationship with Kim Kardashian in explicit financial and personal terms has spread rapidly across X today — though there is no evidence the comedian ever made such statements.
The viral post, which gained significant traction on Monday, alleges that Davidson said Kardashian would give him around $30,000 “just to spend time with her,” claimed he “can’t even count how many times” they were together, and expressed that he “never really wanted to leave” her, describing the reality star as “very supportive” and someone who “took good care of him.”
However, a review of Davidson’s public comments, stand-up sets, interviews, and podcast appearances turns up no record of him making any of these remarks. The post pairs the text with two unrelated images: a recent clip of Davidson speaking in a Yankees cap and green sweatshirt, and an archival paparazzi photo of the former couple from 2021-2022. No video, audio, or credible transcript supporting the claims has surfaced.
Davidson and Kardashian dated publicly for roughly nine months between late 2021 and August 2022. Their high-profile romance, which began after Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live, was heavily documented by tabloids and social media, complete with matching tattoos, vacations, and constant public scrutiny — much of it fueled by then-ex-husband Kanye West’s very public opposition.
In the years since their amicable breakup, both have spoken respectfully about one another. Kardashian has shared on The Kardashians that Davidson was supportive during their time together and expressed regret over the external pressures he faced. Davidson has largely stayed private on the matter, occasionally addressing the overwhelming media attention in comedic bits but never delving into transactional details or intimate specifics.
No major outlets have reported similar claims. The story follows a familiar pattern of celebrity gossip that spreads quickly on social platforms using old images and fabricated quotes for engagement.
Representatives for Davidson and Kardashian did not immediately respond to Billboard’s request for comment.
