Pete Davidson makes surprising admission on impact Ariana Grande outing the size of his penis had
Pete Davidson has made a frank admission on the impact it had when his penis-size became public knowledge.
Back in 2018, the Saturday Night Live actor and superstar singer Ariana Grande shared a bewildering whirlwind romance, even going so far as to get engaged just a few weeks after getting together.
Although by fall that same year, Davidson and the Wicked star split and called off the engagement, Grande had teased fans that she had been working on a song about her then-boyfriend, aptly titled 'Pete Davidson'.
However, it was here the 'Thank U Next' hitmaker went on to change how the public viewed Davidson as a fan asked her: "How long is Pete?", referring to the length of the track.

Seeing the opportunity, Grande quipped back: "Like 10 inches? …. Oh f**k …. I mean … like a lil over a minute."
While Arianators shared a giggle over her tongue-in-cheek joke, one person who apparently didn't find it so funny was Davidson himself.
In a Netflix special in 2020, the New Yorker revealed: "I don’t like that she talked all that sh*t for my penis."
Now, while speaking to The Breakfast Club, the 31-year-old has revealed why he didn't like the unsolicited attention on his private parts, revealing the comment drastically affected the public's perception of him and his career and relationships.
Davidson started by telling host Charlamagne tha God that he felt 'embarrassed' during his stint on SNL, describing how he 'unintentionally' brought tabloid-style 'pop culture' to the show.
"I was embarrassed by it because, now it's started to change a little bit, but no one talked about any work I was doing.
"They were like, 'Oh that's the f*** stick.' And that hurt, like so much.
"I think after a year or two, everyone saw how sad I was about it and embarrassed because I was never on Instagram flexing that sort of lifestyle at all, I was very like embarrassed by it."
However, he stressed: "No one was ever outrightly mean by any means."
Charlamagne tha God then interjected: "What were you embarrassed by though? You were banging a lot of hot chicks and you had a 10-inch penis."
"On paper, that sounds great," Davidson confessed while laughing. "But it's embarrassing because, first of all, it's Hollywood. Everybody f***s everyone. Everybody's dating everybody. Why are they focusing on me?
"I'm not Glenn-Powell-handsome, you know? I'm just this dude that tells d**k jokes that looks like a drug addict."
Davidson continued to reveal how it affected his dating life, adding: "It had nothing to do with comedy and also that stuff affects relationships.
"Seeing that and trying to move around and go on dates and just be like a young dude who's trying to figure out who he is - I don't want to victimize myself in anyway because I'm cool, but like the sexualisation of me..
"If that was a girl, people would be like, there would be a march for it."
Tracing back the origins of the not-so-funny gag, Davidson said he believed a news report started it when he was dating 'someone out of his league' by describing him as having 'big d**k energy'.
"And then someone confirmed it," Davidson said coyly.
"They'll figure it out," he joked.
Well, it wasn't just Grande who appeared to make a crude comment about his manhood, as former ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian has also said the comedian had 'big d**k energy'.
During an episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder recalled meeting Davidson after her SNL appearance and asked for his number.
"I was just thinking, 'Heard about this BDE [big d**k energy], need to get out there, I need to jumpstart my..." the star paused. "I was basically DTF [down to f***]."
