Comedian Pete Davidson threw out an audience member from his stand-up show after they made a tasteless joke about the late rapper, Mac Miller.
Davidson, who dated and was briefly engaged to pop star Ariana Grande after she broke up with Miller, was performing at the South Orange Performing Arts Center in New Jersey when he began a joke by saying: "My friend died in my apartment?" to which the heckler yelled out: "Mac Miller?"
In audio from the show obtained by TMZ, Davidson is heard making an immediate halt in the performance and demanding his fans point out the "f***face" who made the joke so they could be escorted out.
"I'll leave," Davidson threatens. "So if you want the show continue, call out the person who did it, get him the f*** out. I don't deal with that s**t. This show is just for fun, so I'm not going to have that s**t at my show."
His comments were followed by applause as the heckler was kicked out of the venue.
Davidson has performed numerous stand-up shows around New York since the beginning of 2019, as well as making regular appearances on Saturday Night Life.
Grande, who split from the 25-year-old in October, pays tribute to Miller on her new album thank u, next and also thanks Davidson for his patience as she dealt with the trauma from his death.
