Kanye West has threatened to “beat” his estranged wife Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, just days after allegedly punching a fan.
The billionaire musician rapped in a teaser for a new song, “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”
The song, titled “My Life Was Never Eazy,” is a collaboration with rapper The Game and is expected to be released in full on Friday.
The scathing lyric references how West, 44, was involved in a nearly fatal car accident in 2002.

More than 10 years after the tragic incident, he married Kardashian, 41, in 2014. However, she filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly 7 years and four children together.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum began dating Davidson, 28, in October, while West also had romantic trysts of his own.
The “Flashing Lights” rapper briefly dated models Irina Shayk and Vinetria, and most recently has been spotted on several dates with “Uncut Gems” star Julia Fox.
The release of West’s new diss at Davidson is the first time the rapper has publicly addressed his true feelings about the “Saturday Night Live” star dating his ex.

However, sources exclusively told Page Six recently that West was dating Fox, 31, “to get under Kim’s skin.”
“It’s a desperate play for attention. There’s no other explanation when he chooses … [Fox] to go public with,” one source said.
Another source insisted West is in pain after Kardashian moved on with Davidson.
In December, West also called for the Skims founder to “run back to” him, even while he going on dates with other people.

Meanwhile, Kardashian remains “unbothered” by her estranged husband’s ploy to make her jealous.
Sources insisted the reality star has “fully moved on” from the marriage and is “feeling completely free” now that she’s in a new relationship.
Earlier this week, Kardashian appeared very happy on a casual date with Davidson, which consisted of eating pizza and a drugstore run for ice cream.

West, however, is currently facing possible charges after an alleged battery incident. He was spotted in a video shouting at a female staffer as his alleged victim lied on the ground.
Reps for West, Kardashian and Davidson did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

“It’s very hard for him that Kim has moved on. This is something he has struggled with since Kim started dating Pete. He never pretended he was happy about it,” the insider says. “He doesn’t want Kim to date Pete. Or anyone else.”
Speaking to Jason Lee on an upcoming episode of Hollywood Unlocked, West asks the host, “How you gonna bring me to SNL and kiss the dude you dating right in front of me and everybody’s like, ‘Aw, that’s cool?’” (The rapper is referring to an Aladdin sketch Kardashian and Davidson kissed in when the reality star hosted Saturday Night Live in October.)
Reps for Kardashian and West did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
The reality star, 41, first sparked romance rumors with Davidson last October, when they were seen holding hands while riding a roller coaster at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, California, following her appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Regardless of her new romance, West believed the Keeping Up with Kardashians alum would reconsider their divorce.
“To Kanye, he and Kim are still married. He always thought Kim was gonna change her mind about the divorce. His whole life is in turmoil,” the source adds. “He is trying his best to stay busy with work and [new girlfriend] Julia [Fox].”

The Grammy winner made his relationship with Fox public with a steamy photoshoot last week but a second insider previously told PEOPLE that he still wants to rekindle his romance with Kardashian.
“He’s still telling people that he wants to have Kim back and he is willing to make appropriate changes to do so,” the second source revealed.
The source adds that West “has no plans at this time to start a long-term relationship.”
Kanye West shares Instagram post of skinned monkey, stoking new music speculation

It’s been a busy month from the Kanye West camp. A close associate claimed that work has already begun on the follow-up to his Grammy-nominated album Donda, and a couple of videos of studio sessions leaked. Pictures of Ye with L.A.-based rapper The Game have fueled speculation that a collaborative song is incoming, and even rap insider Wack100 said that Kanye was dropping something today. That may or may not happen, but on Friday, Kanye shared a new post on Instagram indicating that something with The Game is coming.

Shaq Weighs In On Kanye West Moving Next Door To Kim Kardashian
]
In the middle of a semi-contentious divorce, Kanye West has made significant efforts to win his wife Kim Kardashian back, to include telling the world what he did wrong. Yet, it has been somewhat confusing because the two have seemingly already started to date other people. The rapper has also reportedly bought the house across the street from Kardashian and their four kids, further adding to the confusion on the exact status of their relationship. The curious next-door situation has even had ex-NBA player Shaquille O’Neil surprisingly weighing in with a take.
On a recent Big Podcast with Shaq episode, the former Lakers center and his co-hosts Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams were actually having a good laugh about it all. Turner remarked that it might typically be considered very “evolved” and “adult” to co-parent as next door neighbors with one’s ex, as the Kanye West reports suggest is the intent of his house move. But really, she thinks the Grammy winner (who is currently under a legal investigation) is being a “Petty LaBelle.” Shaq likewise made a pointed joke about the now-debunked rumors circulating (per HITC) that Kanye West camouflaged himself and hid in Kardashian’s bushes, saying,
His motive was to have some nice trees in the yard, so he cut off a couple limbs and he made a tree suit.
Shaq and Spice Adams both echoed Nischelle Turner’s sentiments about what the move actually means for the rapper. Namely, the former Entertainment Tonight correspondent suggested that Kanye West’s change of address is futile if he’s really just hoping to rekindle his romance with Kim Kardashian. She commented,
Can I just say something? When your woman is being publicly seen with another man, it’s over for you bro. This is a public service announcement to Kanye. When your lady is holding hands, gallivanting, in the Bahamas with another man, it’s over. It’s done. She’s not coming back.
The podcast group – in the hilariously named “Big Shaqstradamus” episode – continued to laugh about Kanye West’s rather odd relationship dynamics of late. Specifically, West’s date night/photoshoot with new flame Julia Fox was considered “wild,” with Shaq himself adding that he “didn’t like” how that “photoshoot” was “set up.” (Kim Kardashian, for her part, is totally fine with it.)
The trio also referenced the rapper’s previous serenade to Kim Kardashian and her new beau Pete Davidson, with Spice Adams saying that there would likely be a “fight in Hidden Hills.” Hidden Hills is the notorious mansion that the former couple built together and that Kardashian is actually facing some legal drama over concerning a neighbor. (Not to be confused with West, though.)
While Kanye West and his reality star ex-wife still might have some struggles to overcome, Myles O’Neill is following in his father’s footsteps – as a reality TV star. Shaq’s son and seven other famous offspring make up the cast of the recently premiered Relatively Famous on Hulu. The show is being sold as a Bling Empire meets The Simple Life concept.
Shaq, however, might want to consider being careful with jokes about Kanye West’s complicated dynamic with Kim Kardashian. West is known to throw himself into a major beef or two.
Kanye West spotted in the studio with Blueface

Kanye West has been spotted working in the studio with LA rapper Blueface ahead of the reported sequel to last year’s ‘DONDA’.
The pair, who have not previously worked together, were all smiles in a pic that has been circulating on social media. You can see the snap below.
What Ye and Blueface were working on is yet to be determined, but it was reported earlier this month that the former is busy working on ‘DONDA 2’, less than six months after the release of part one.

In a statement to Complex Magazine, Steven Victor – who worked with West as COO of his label, G.O.O.D Music – claimed that West was working on what he described as “his new masterpiece”.
West later confirmed Victor’s statement in a text message conversation with Moneybagg Yo. “I got to lock in with you on Donda 2,” West texted the Memphis rapper. “Money in front of us. Bullshit behind us.”
Moneybagg Yo was recently seen in the studio with Ye, The Game and controversial NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown.
The news of West working on new music comes under a week after footage surfaced of him in the studio with rapper Scarface. West was also said to be in the studio with both Post Malone and Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes this past September.

West revealed this week that he’s planning to release a new song soon – one that is likely to feature Pusha T, The Game and DJ Premier.
The rapper and producer, who is now legally known as Ye, spoke about the plans during a recorded phone call with Premier earlier this week, which has since surfaced online.
He was also spotted with Madonna and a host of other notable celebrities listening to Drake‘s music during a gathering in LA on Wednesday (January 12).
West released the original ‘DONDA’ on August 29, after multiple delays throughout the month and several changes to the album itself. The progress of the album was charted through several listening parties, where West would make changes to it following each one.
In a three-star review, NME‘s Rhian Daly described ‘DONDA’ as “incredibly – and unnecessarily – long”.
“There are plenty of seeds of what could be good ideas here, and some legit great tracks, but had he taken a little more time to edit things, this could have been a classic,” the review added.
