Pete Davidson isn’t one to let a joke slide — especially when it’s about his, uh, measurements.
And after ex-fiancée Ariana Grande, 32, made a now-infamous comment about his manhood, you know the comedian had something to say about it.
For those who missed the drama (where have you been?), the whole thing started when Grande dropped a track named — wait for it — 'Pete Davidson' on her 2018 album, Sweetener.
The superstar couple had embarked on a whirlwind romance that same year and eventually got engaged in June, just weeks after making their relationship public.
However, in October, the pair officially ended their engagement and split, but they haven't shied away from talking about each other, with Grande even getting a little too intimate with the details sometimes.
As with any fanbase on social media, Grande's fans tended to pry, though one specific topic kept cropping up.
One particularly curious soul took to X to ask: "How long is Pete?" (Meaning the song, obviously. But also... not.)
"OH AS IN THE INTERLUDE NOT AS IN... ANYWAY," the fan quickly followed up.
Cue Ariana, ever the cheeky queen, who took the joke and ran with it, replying: "Like 10 inches?... Oh f***... I mean... like a lil over a minute."**
And just like that, the internet lost its mind. While some fans cackled at the overshare heard ‘round the world, others were genuinely impressed — but Pete? Well, he had his own response.
Instead of sulking, Davidson, 32, did what he does best — turned it into a punchline. During a 2020 Saturday Night Live skit, he hit back by claiming: "I don’t like that she talked all that s*** for my p*nis.
"Everything is huge to her. Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge penis? So that every girl who sees my d*** for the rest of my life is disappointed."
Oof. Points for comedic timing!
Later, in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Davidson took a more chill approach, admitting he wasn’t really mad, just rolling with the punches.
"She’s the queen of shade," he said. "I get it. That’s her job. … She has music to it, I get it. I hope people feel the same way about my jokes."
It's been eight years since their star-studded engagement, but the stars have moved on from each other in life.
Davidson now has a child with partner Elsie Hewitt, 29, as the model welcomed their daughter into the world on December 12 last year.
The couple announced the birth of their child on social media a week later, and revealed her name, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, seemingly a tribute to Davidson's late father - Scott.
As for Grande, she has been dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater since July 2023, following his divorce from partner Lilly Jay... something that Jay has not been silent about.
In the 1,807-word memoir for The Cut, Jay opened up about the painful dissolution of her marriage, her life as a single parent, and her struggle to reconcile personal heartbreak with sudden public scrutiny.
Jay’s work focuses on supporting new mothers through the challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood, and she had long sought to maintain anonymity for the sake of her clients.
She removed herself from social media at 18 to safeguard her privacy. However, the events surrounding her high-profile divorce have left her life and profession entangled in public discourse.
“No one gets married thinking they’ll get divorced, in the same way we don’t board a plane expecting to crash. But I really never thought I would get divorced,” Jay writes.
“Especially not just after giving birth to my first child and especially not in the shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.”
Ouch.
