Pete Davidson savagely replied to Ariana Grande after she outed the size of his penis

Pete Davidson had a surprisingly savage response after Ariana Grande revealed the size of his penis in a very public Twitter post.

There's always some kind of celebrity gossip going around online, but it's not often that someone who's actually intimately familiar with the subject gets involved.

That's usually because they actually have a personal relationship with them rather than being able to hide behind a screen, but that didn't stop Grande from sharing apparent secrets when approached by a fan online.

The singer's revelation came as she released the tracklist for her 2018 album, Sweetener, which featured a song that was not-so-subtly titled 'Pete Davidson'.

Grande and Davidson were in a relationship at the time, and Grande explained: "He's my fiancé. This is my album. I'm an honest and emotional artist and human being and if my openness in my work isn't for you, that's OK."

After the song was announced, one fan tweeted Grande to ask: "How long is Pete."

They were referencing the track, but quickly realized how the question could have been misinterpreted, given the circumstances.

They quickly followed up to clarify, writing: "OH AS IN THE INTERLUDE NOT AS IN….. ANYWAY."

Grande saw the humor in the post, and decided to lean into it by actually giving an answer about Davidson's d*ck.

She wrote: "Like 10 inches? …. Oh f**k …. I mean … like a lil over a minute."

Given that 10 inches is definitely above average, Grande's post might have left a lot of people impressed - but not Davidson.

The comedian eventually addressed the response in a Netflix special in 2020, where he revealed: "I don’t like that she talked all that sh*t for my penis."

Davidson then explained why he wasn't happy with Grande talking him up, and apparently attempted to level the playing field by referencing Ariana’s height of five-feet-three-inches.

"Everything is huge to her," he said. "Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge penis? So that every girl who sees my d**k for the rest of my life is disappointed."

Obviously, size doesn't matter, but I suppose if you've had a seemingly reliable source like Grande setting high expectations, then you might be a little surprised to be greeted with something that doesn't quite live up to it.

However, it seems that even if Davidson might not be able to offer quite as much as Grande suggested, he does have something going for him, as Kim Kardashian - another of his ex-girlfriends - has also spoken about the comedian's 'big d**k energy'.
