Too far? Kanye West takes shots at Pete Davidson in "disturbing" music video
Updated | By Stacey & J Sbu/Tamlyn Canham
"Kanye West is out of control" - social media users react to the rapper's shocking new music video, 'Eazy', featuring The Game.
Kanye West has come under fire following the release of his latest music video.
The 44-year-old's 'Eazy' video is a black and white clay animation that shows him kidnapping a figure that resembles 'Saturday Night Live' comedian Pete Davidson.
Things go from bad to worse when the clay figure is buried alive. Some of the songs lyrics include:
God saved me from that crash
Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (who?)

Kanye also makes reference to the fact that he bought the house next door to the mansion he previously shared with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian
Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door
What you think the point of really bein' rich for?
Pete is currently dating Kim. A judge declared the KKW Beauty founder legally single this week.
Kim also legally dropped "West" from her last name.
"Since filing for divorce, Mr. West, by his actions, has made it clear that he does not accept that the parties' marital relationship is over," lawyers for Kim stated in court documents, according to Vogue magazine.
Kim hopes Kanye will finally accept that their relationship is over.
"I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over," she wrote in a statement last month.

Kanye has taken several shots at Pete online in recent months. Social media users believe his 'Eazy' music video is taking things one step too far.
Some went as far as accusing the Grammy Award-winner of harassment. "Kanye West video is actually disturbing. Pete Davidson needs to sue and file a restraining order," one Twitter user wrote.

Another user commented: "If Kanye West was a woman, he would probably be under conservatorship at this point. That music video was disturbing on so many levels."
Here's a look at what others have to say.

Kanye West is an abuser. This isn’t “funny,” it’s not “romantic” and it’s not “cute.”

Admitting you have violent fantasies about kidnapping and killing your ex’s new boyfriend, and making a cartoon about it is disturbing.
Pete isn’t a rapper, it’s not “rap beef.”
Kanye West is out of control. His harassment and sense of ownership of his ex wife, is disturbing. It’s domestic abuse that is not only committed publicly, but encouraged by fans.

Men that behave like him have been known to commit murder suicides. It is completely unacceptable.
As a survivor of domestic violence I can no longer just sit back be quiet. Kanye West is using his fame and music platform to harass and threaten Kim K and Pete D. It isn't art! It is disturbing, scary and wrong. He needs to be arrested.
