Kim Kardashian liked a tweet from director James Gunn defending Pete Davidson after Ye's new music video

• Director James Gunn called Pete Davidson the "sweetest" guy in a new tweet.
• This followed Kanye West's music video appearing to show Ye burying a cartoon version of Davidson.

"Peacemaker" director James Gunn wrote a tweet praising Pete Davidson amid the comedian's drama with Ye.

The "Donda" rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, has made multiple critical comments about Davidson after the "Saturday Night Live" star started dating Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from Ye in February 2021.

On Wednesday, Ye went one step further with the music video for his song "Eazy," which appeared to depict an animated version of Ye abducting, burying, and growing a rose bush on an animated version of Davidson.

Following this, Gunn, who worked with Davidson on his movie "The Suicide Squad," defended Davidson in a tweet that was later 'liked' by Kardashian on the social media platform.

"For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know," Gunn wrote. "A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect."

Ye has been publicly feuding with Davidson since it was revealed the comedian was dating Kardashian.

In one instance, Ye made an Instagram meme of Davidson — as well as musicians Billie Eilish, Kid Cudi, and others — facing off against the rapper in a superhero-style movie poster. There were also reports that at his "Donda 2" listening party, he referenced Davidson in the lyrics of two of his songs.

The "Power" rapper has also issued public pleas for Kardashian to take him back and sent a truck full of roses for Valentine's Day.

A judge declared the SKIMS founder legally single on the same day the "Eazy" music video was released. Kardashian had filed court documents last month that said Ye's social-media posts have led to "emotional distress."

On February 4, Kardashian spoke out publicly for the first time about Ye's comments, writing on her Instagram story that Ye's "obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all."

Later, Ye shared a text in a now-deleted Instagram post where Kardashian had tried to ask the rapper to stop speaking about Davidson because it was creating a "dangerous and scary environment" for the comedian.

Ye wrote that he would "handle the situation" with "Skete," Ye's nickname for Davidson.
