Pete Davidson has made a bombshell allegation about his maternal grandfather.
Davidson is known for pretty candid in during his stand-up gigs, but I'm not sure anyone was quite expecting what the 31-year-old recently revealed to an audience at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.
During his performance Davidson revealed that his mom's dad has lung cancer but he's somewhat unfazed about his grandfather's declining health.
"He was diagnosed with lung cancer, and I'm not that close with him," said Kim Kardashian's ex. "I'm close with my dad's dad. I don't like my mom's dad."

Davidson continued, as per Mail Online: "He used to beat the s**t out of me and I don't like him very much.
"He's old school, he's very Irish. You know those old Irish Jews that are so Irish, they're like pink, right?
"His veneers are somehow brown. He's just an old school dude, and he's dying."
Davidson did note that he wanted to be there for his mom though, who is 'sad' about her father's poor health.

In contrast, the Saturday Night Live favorite said he was 'low key thrilled' about his mom's dad having cancer.
"I'm like, die slow motherf**er," he added.
This isn't the only sad admission Davidson has made of late; a few months ago he shared why he believes everyone is so obsessed with his dating life.
The King of Staten Island actor has dated some pretty famous faces including Ariana Grande, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor.
"I’ve had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women and when it’s ended it’s been cool," he shared with Page Six earlier this year.
"Everyone is dating everyone and it’s Hollywood," Davidson continued. "Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keough. But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell."
He went on to say that he'd rather be talked about for his work instead of his relationships.
"[It’s] embarrassing because you want people to write about your work. I was one of the youngest ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating," said Davidson.
As well as starring in SNL, Davidson's featured in films like Dumb Money, The Suicide Squad, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Dog Man, and Meet Cute.
