Fans want Kanye West to replace Pete Davidson in Blue Origin space flight
Following reviews that comic Pete Davidson canceled his anticipated area voyage with Blue Origin, the general public is looking for an unlikely substitute — his love rival Kanye West. The social media marketing campaign comes amid the two celebrities’ highly publicized tiff that started after Davidson began courting Ye’s estranged spouse, Kim Kardashian.

Nevertheless, Blue Origin lately introduced it might be suspending the flight till later this month, which conflicted with the star’s schedule. Whereas a selected purpose was by no means famous, the date change pressured Davidson to abort his maiden area flight.
“Blue Origin’s twentieth flight of New Shepard has shifted to Tuesday, March 29,” the company wrote. “Pete Davidson is now not capable of be part of the NS-20 crew on this mission.”
It added, “We’ll announce the sixth crew member within the coming days.”
Social media was fast to suggest that West, 44, take his spot.

“Pete is worked up,” a Davidson supply mentioned on the time. “They haven’t signed a contract but, but it surely seems to be prefer it’s going to occur.”
No phrase as to how pulling the plug will have an effect on the continuing Davidson-West beef, which started after the Staten Island native began courting the rapper’s actuality star spouse this previous fall.
Since then, West has repeatedly slammed the funnyman on Instagram, and even launched a controversial music video wherein he abducts and beheads Davidson’s Claymation doppelganger.

In the meantime on Wednesday, the hip-hopper was booted from Instagram for 24 hours after going after Kardashian, Davidson and Trevor Noah on the social media platform.
Regardless of the frequent on-line harassment, West’s ex Julia Fox claims the “I Thought About Killing You” singer doesn’t pose a threat to either Kardashian or Davidson.
“Kanye’s innocent. I simply suppose that’s his creative inventive expression,” the “Uncut Gems” actress insisted relating to West’s social media salvos. “I do know it’s aggressive, however I feel if it actually got here right down to it, I don’t suppose Kanye would harm a fly.”
