Pete Davidson has always handled public scrutiny with humor, and his response to Ariana Grande’s eyebrow-raising remarks about his anatomy is no exception. The saga began in 2018 when Grande, then Davidson’s fiancée, released her album Sweetener, which included a track titled “Pete Davidson.” A fan jokingly asked on Twitter, “How long is Pete?” While the question referred to the song’s length, Grande cheekily responded, “Like 10 inches? …Oh f**k…I mean…like a lil over a minute.” This playful comment quickly ignited internet discussions, fueling speculation and jokes about Davidson’s private life
Years later, during his Netflix special Alive From New York, Davidson addressed the viral comment with his characteristic wit. He joked that Grande’s description set unrealistic expectations, humorously adding, “Everything is huge to her,” referencing Grande’s petite stature of 5’3″. He explained that such public oversharing made his dating life more challenging, as women might approach him with inflated expectations
Adding to the buzz, Davidson’s “big d**k energy” (BDE) became a pop-culture term, thanks in part to later remarks from Kim Kardashian during their brief relationship. She humorously acknowledged the rumors during an episode of The Kardashians, confessing her initial interest in Davidson was sparked by the BDE hype
Despite the media frenzy, Davidson has maintained a good-natured perspective on his public image, often using his relationships and their aftermath as material for his comedy. While Grande’s remarks might have been a joke, they cemented a narrative that Davidson has deftly turned into a part of his larger comedic repertoire. This episode highlights his unique ability to balance personal vulnerabilities with humor in the spotlight.
