Pete Davidson says he has a 'very normal-sized' penis and doesn't understand people's fascination with it
- Pete Davidson said on "The Breakfast Club" that he has a "normal" size penis.
- He shared that he's been told it's "big enough to enjoy and not big enough for it to hurt."
Pete Davidson clarified the size of his penis in an interview with Charlamagne tha God on Thursday.
Appearing on Charlamagne tha God's show "The Breakfast Club" to promote his upcoming semi-autobiographical series "Bupkis" premiering on Peacock, Davidson was asked if he considered making the title of his show something about his penis, since people have talked about it so much.
"I don't understand, it's really not that special," Davidson said. "It's a very normal-sized penis."
Charlamagne tha God then referenced "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," asking if Davidson's penis size was "like baby bear's porridge." ("Just right?")
"Yeah, it's just like big enough to enjoy and not big enough for it to hurt, is what I was told," Davidson replied, before the pair moved on to discussing what "Bupkis" was about.
Speculation over Davidson's penis size has been making headlines for years.
His ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian said on her Hulu reality show "The Kardashians" that after her split from Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), she first became interested in Davidson in part because she'd heard rumors about his "BDE," an acronym short for "big dick energy."
"I wasn't even thinking, 'Oh my god, I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking like, 'heard about this BDE, need to get out there,'" Kardashian said on her Hulu show in an episode that aired in June 2022.
"I was just basically DTF," she added, referring to the acronym for "down to fuck."
In an interview later in 2022 on SiriusXM"s "The Jess Cagle Show," Davidson's friend and former "Saturday Night Live" costar, comedian Jay Pharoah, said he could confirm the rumors about Davidson's penis because he'd heard about it from the man himself.
"He told me what it was: It's his endowment," Pharoah said. "He was like, 'Yeah bro, it's like nine inches.'"
The phrase "big dick energy" in reference to Davidson's appeal dates back to his engagement to Ariana Grande. In June 2018, while the two were together, Grande famously tweeted (then deleted) a joke about Davidson's penis size when a fan asked her how long Grande's interlude "pete" from her album "Sweetener" was. ("Like 10 inches? …oh f--k…i mean…like a lil over a minute," she wrote in the tweet, according to People.)
Davidson even joked about Grande's tweet after their split, saying in a January 2019 stand-up routine that his ex had probably told everyone that he has "a huge penis" so that every woman who saw it in the future would be "disappointed," calling it a "mean" but "genius" move on Grande's part.
