Despite being a comedian, Pete Davidson is not the one to be played with. The Staten Island native recently threw out a heckler who mentioned Mac Miller during one of his jokes.
The 25-year-old SNL star was performing a set at the South Orange Performing Arts Center in New Jersey on Monday night when the heckler
“My friend died in my apartment,” Davidson began, only for someone in the audience to shout out “Mac Miller?”
The heckler was referencing the late rapper’s untimely death in September 2018 after he died of an accidental overdose at the age of 26. The unexpected death ultimately led to the downward spiral of Davidson’s whirlwind romance with pop star Ariana Grande.
Davidson stopped the show immediately after the heckler shouted Miller’s name and didn’t continue until he was removed from the room.
“I’ll wait. I will not continue until that kid’s gone,” he said, according to newly published audio of the show from TMZ. “I’ll leave, so if you want the show to continue, call out the person who did it. Gotta get him the f–k out, give his money back and get him the f–k out. I don’t deal with that
s–t at my show.”“This show is just for fun…I’m not gonna have that
s–t at my show.” he added.
The comic continued to blast the heckler while he was being carried out.
“I hope you’re proud of yourself. You just f–king f–ked up everything,” he said. “I’m gonna have to f–king do jokes that I know work,” Davidson added, which was met with some laughter. “Make sure he gets his money back, too,” the comedian instructed. “I don’t want his money.”
Despite the minor setback, Davidson was a true professional and continued on with the show.
