Pete Davidson Calls Kanye West a ‘Gay Nazi’ at Kevin Hart Roast

Pete Davidson showed up to roast Kevin Hart on Sunday night and walked away having torched pretty much everyone else in the room too — including Kanye West, a man who wasn’t even there.

Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart, filmed at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, was everything you’d expect from a celebrity roast: relentless height jokes, a few genuinely shocking moments, and one comedian who clearly came to play. Davidson, 32, was that comedian. While taking aim at fellow roaster Tony Hinchcliffe — the Kill Tony host who made headlines last fall for cracking offensive jokes about Puerto Rico at a Donald Trump rally — Davidson delivered what became the night’s most talked-about line.

“Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings,” Davidson said. “I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”

The crowd’s reaction was exactly what you’d expect. Davidson leaned into it.

“Oh, you don’t know me?”

He wasn’t done with Hinchcliffe either. “Tony is here looking like both a child molester and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them,” Davidson said, before adding, “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.” Then, almost gleefully: “Kill Tony. Please, someone f**king kill Tony.”

The Kanye Line That Stopped the Room

The Kanye West reference hit differently. Davidson and West’s feud is well-documented — during Davidson’s nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian, which ran from November 2021 to August 2022, West made the comedian a recurring target on social media, mockingly calling him “Skete” and posting music videos depicting violence against him. A source close to Davidson told Page Six at the time that the former SNL star was “ignoring all of the Kanye hate out of respect for Kim.”

The “gay Nazi” dig lands in a very specific context. West, 48, spent years making antisemitic statements that got him dropped from major brand partnerships including Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap. Then in 2025, he publicly proclaimed his love for Adolf Hitler, called himself a Nazi, and promoted swastika merchandise on his Yeezy website. Earlier this year, he took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal to apologize, writing that he is “not a Nazi or an antisemite” and attributing his behavior to a four-month manic episode tied to his bipolar disorder. “I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change,” West wrote. “It does not excuse what I did though.”

West has not publicly responded to being name-dropped at the roast.

Davidson wasn’t the only one who brought up West during the night. Hinchcliffe had already taken his own shot before Davidson even hit the stage: “The closest Pete has come to greatness is when his d*** rubbed up against Kanye’s old c**,” Hinchcliffe said — and Davidson, watching from his seat, was seen nodding his head.

Hart Gets What’s Coming to Him

Of course, the whole night was technically about Kevin Hart, and the roasters made sure he felt it. Lizzo delivered one of the evening’s sharpest lines: “Kevin and I are both mocked for our size, and we share that pain. But I can lose weight — you can’t get taller!” Dwayne Johnson went for a different kind of humor: “I love you, yes, I do. Just to prove it, just last week, I got a Kevin Hart tattoo on my cock. Yeah, life-size too.”

Katt Williams went somewhere darker. “Just because Kevin went to Diddy parties does not mean he did something wrong,” Williams said. “The fact that he gets all quiet when you bring it up — that means he did something wrong.”

But the biggest surprise of the night was Tom Brady, who Hart had roasted on Netflix just last year. Brady crashed the stage clearly relishing every second of his revenge tour.

“Have you even left the Forum, or have you just been here screaming into that mic the last two years waiting for daddy to come home?” Brady said. “Well, unlike your real dad, I actually showed up.”

Brady also gifted Hart a newborn-sized jersey of Knicks star Jalen Brunson — arriving just hours after the Knicks finished sweeping Hart’s beloved Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA playoffs. And he didn’t let Hart’s well-known Vegas cheating scandal slide either, joking about his “affairs in Las Vegas” before shrugging it off: “I think I broke another rule. Fuck it. I talked about it.”

The Kirk joke Davidson made will likely generate the most conversation in the days ahead. Kirk, the conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder, was fatally shot in September 2025 while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was 31. Joking about a real person’s assassination — even in a roast context — is the kind of thing that tends to follow a comedian around, and Davidson had to know that when he said it.

Then again, this is Pete Davidson. Knowing exactly how far is too far — and going there anyway — has always kind of been the whole thing.

The Roast of Kevin Hart is streaming now on Netflix.
