“It’s embarrassing when you’re not on ketamine anymore, though… I’m embarrassed,” he says in the special.

“I was out and about like that. That’s not cool, you know? I was at funerals like that. That’s f-cked up, right? I was at Aretha Franklin’s funeral like that. Yeah, I have to live with that. You know what I mean? She’ll never know, but still, that’s not the point. You know what I mean?”

“If she was there, she would probably be like, ‘Hey, who are you? And what the f-ck are you doing at my funeral?’ It’s embarrassing. I’m so high, I thought it would be a good idea to go up to her family and go, ‘Hey, I’m just here to pay my R-E-S-P-E-C-T…S.”

Ariana and Pete split in October 2018, a few months after the funeral.
