Fans and celebrities have expressed support, including rapper Nicki Minaj, actress Jada Pinkett Smith and rapper Machine Gun Kelly who tweeted that he was on a plane to see Pete.
On Saturday afternoon, Pete Davidson wrote on Instagram that he didn’t ‘want to be on this earth anymore’ and deleted his Twitter after the post. The 25-year-old posted an alarming, seemingly suicidal message after sparking some backlash by defending Kanye West with regard to his Twitter drama with SNL star’s ex fiancé, Ariana Grande. Kanye used social media platform for speaking openly about his own mental health. On Saturday, the New York Police department confirmed that it had conducted a wellness check and made contact with Davidson.

Following Grande and West’s tweets, Davidson wrote on Instagram: “Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health. I can’t explain to you how enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this. We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I’m seriously disgusted.”
