Turns out dating one of the most famous women in the world came with a lot of baggage — and for Pete Davidson, that baggage was called Kanye West.

To say West didn't take kindly to the SNL alum dating his ex-wife Kim Kardashian may be a bit of an understatement, as he put as much effort into trolling Davidson as he did into making his last album. As a result, Davidson sought out therapy.

A source tells PEOPLE Davidson "has been in trauma therapy in large part" due to the rap icon's incessant bullying since April of this year.

"The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he's had to seek out help," the source said.

Just this morning, West posted a doctored image of a New York Times front-page obituary that read, "Skete Davidson Dead at Age 28," following news of Davidson and Kardashian calling it quits. Both Kardashian's and Davidson's teams contacted Instagram about the post which has since been removed.

This latest immature salvo from the rapper currently known a Ye comes after the Grammy-winner buried a claymation Davidson in the music video for "Eazy" with rapper The Game back in March. The song includes lyrics about beating "Pete Davidson's ass."

The source claims to PEOPLE that West's frequent attacks on the platform are one reason why Davidson has "been absent from social media."

Davidson has addressed Ye's harassment in the past, either on SNL or in his stand-up act. He opened his set for the Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival by discussing how the rapper told him that he had AIDS and joking that he believed West because he "is a genius."

Meanwhile, a source close to Kardashian confirmed that Davidson's involvement with trauma therapy had nothing to do with their break-up and that she "does not tolerate this type of behavior from Kanye."

Kanye needs to get help asap. The way he will probably keep bullying every man Kim gets with… I feel bad for her and anyone she tries to date tbh

Can we stop calling him a genius now? Sure he's made good music in the past but his talent isn't unfathomably better than plenty of others – and it doesn't overshadow his terrible personality.

He did?

Whenever his songs are played, it was a total ear rape.

I hate the dude now, but lets not sit here and act like he was an inspiration to so many artists today. 

 

Like lets be real.

Sure ma'am, whatever floats your boat.

If you think that he's good and inspired "so many artists", then more power to you. 

But I am standing by what I said.
