A Former Yeezy Employee Claims Kanye West Requested 'Inappropriate' Pete Davidson Designs

Following rumors of Kanye “Ye” West and Bianca Censori getting a divorce, which could make the latter a very rich woman, the couple also faced backlash over their racist and disturbing behavior at Yeezy. The musician famously hired the Australian native as the company’s Senior Architect in 2020.

Recently, the former Senior Designer of Yeezy also revealed that Ye asked him to make “inappropriate” and defamatory shirts about Pete Davidson. The Saturday Night Live star famously dated the rapper’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

Pete and Kim’s fling followed the Skims billionaire’s messy divorce from Ye. It then resulted in a social media feud that “terrified” the comedian “day and night.” Here’s a look back at Ye and Pete’s beef.

Ex-YEEZY Senior Designer, Pierre Louis Auvray, revealed to journalist Louis Pisano that Ye made “derogatory remarks” about Pete when he was dating Kim in 2022. “He was having this rant about Jewish people, black people being the first Jewish people, and telling people that Pete Davidson had AIDS,” Pierre recalled.

The designer added that Ye had asked him to design shirts that said: “Pete Davidson has AIDS,” “Pete Davidson hates black people,” and “Pete Davidson destroys families.”

Pierre called the request “sickening.” But even when he decided to “fight because [he] didn’t want to do it,” he experienced “pressure from five people in the group chat,” including Bianca. “And I was like, ‘No, I’m not doing this,'” he said.

Interestingly, Pierre also claimed that a Yeezy staffer claimed they heard Bianca telling guests at a party, “I’m going to cancel Kanye West.” The designer went on to spill Mrs. West’s “demon” behavior in the workplace.

Kanye West is known to pick outfits for his “muses.”

She sent things like an image of Edward Scissorhands renamed ‘Edward N*****hands” and graphic porn,” Pierre recounted. He said, “it was just bizarre, but at the time, I didn’t know what to make of it.”

In part 2 of the interview, the designer also said that “Bianca was always doing weird stuff, like coming into our trailer and asking what we thought about Jews. And one time, she even stole my vape.” We guess, Ye found somebody who could match his freak…

Kanye West Made Serious Threats Against Pete Davidson

The social media feud between Ye and Pete started in early 2022. At that time, the “Gold Digger” performer called the actor, “Skete” Davidson. Ye expressed inflicting harm on Pete on his track “Eazy”—leading him to increase his security detail.

In January 2025, a source reminded InTouch Weekly that “Kanye pretty much threatened his life and Pete took that very seriously, he was terrified day and night after that.”

“[Pete] could hardly sleep and anywhere he went outside the house he felt unsafe,” the insider added.

The “King of Staten Island” star eventually fought back. In a leaked text, Pete sent Ye a topless selfie saying, “in bed with your wife.” Ye made damaging claims about him, saying he had AIDS and that he was going to get Kim “hooked on drugs.”
