In a “Barbie” parody, Davidson sang about his “not discrete” dating life and the “tons of publicity” he generates for it, while also mentioning his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West.
“People online still call me Skeet / Because of a guy whose name I can’t say legally,” Davidson sang before a photo of West flashed on the screen.
