Pete Davidson has been forced to delete his social media after being relentlessly trolled by Kanye West fans.
The 28-year-old, who has been the subject of numerous ranting posts by Ye since he started dating Kim Kardashian, removed his Instagram page just one week after he joined the platform.
Pete shared a clip from 1982 Martin Scorsese film The King of Comedy, which sees Robert De Niro say: “Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime.”

Kanye fans believed this may be a barbed reference to his ongoing feud with the rapper, taking to his page to comment abuse.
As well as being told to “Find God”, Pete was also called “Skete” – the cruel nickname Kanye uses when referring to the Saturday Night Live Comedian.
Just hours after Pete’s first post, his account appeared to have been deleted.
Kanye twisted the knife when he then shared a picture of Pete’s account to his 14.8 million followers on his own Instagram.
He captioned the post: “Ran Skete off the gram… Tell your mother I changed your name for life.”
The U-turn comes after it seemed like West was willing to move on and become on friendly terms with Pete.
Last week, Kanye had followed Pete on Instagram – which many fans took to be a sign of the rapper giving Pete his “blessing”.
Kim has previously criticised Kanye for fostering a toxic environment for herself and Pete, with Kanye using his vast social media platform to try and win back Kim, nearly a year after she filed for divorce.
In a now deleted Instagram post, Kanye shared a screenshot from a contact titled ‘Kim Other Phone’ – thought to be Kardashian.
The 41-year-old reportedly said: “You are creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete [Davidson] and this will be all your fault.”
Kanye has also shared messages that are thought to be from Pete himself, where he told the rapper he “didn’t want to get in the way” of Kanye and Kim’s four children.
“How you guys go about raising your kids is your business,” the now deleted post read. “And I do hope one say I can meet them and we can all be friends.”
