“Pete deleted his IG because immediately after his first post, he started receiving a flood of messages, both positive and negative, reminding him why he didn’t want social media to begin with,” a source told the outlet.

Before leaving, he shared a clip of Robert De Niro as Rupert Pupkin in Martin Scorsese’s 1981 film The King of Comedy reciting the line, “Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime,” which was interpreted by some as a dig at Kanye.

“[Pete] is in the middle of several big film projects and wants to continue to stay very focused on his work and the positive things happening in his life,” the source said, adding: “Kanye didn’t drive Pete off social media.”

“Ran Skete off the gram. Tell your mother I changed your name for life,” Kanye boasted when Pete left the platform.
