Nicki Minaj applauded Davidson and Kanye West for speaking up about mental illnesses.
We can be so insensitive. God bless Kanye & Pete. Being flippant about mental illness speaks more about you than them. Stop saying the word love & live it. Love is an action.

Actor Jon Cryer, who also stars in "Big Time Adolescence," shared concern for Davidson, writing: "We are thinking of you, Pete."
Sophia Bush called out people who bullied Davidson online.
Point being. Pete Davidson has been very open about his mental health. And b/c a relationship didn’t work out, tens of thousands of people he doesn’t know are telling him to kill himself.
Words have real consequences. And the people who bullied him into posting this? Shame. pic.twitter.com/lUCpahlG5u

"Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health," Davidson wrote on Instagram. "I can't explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this. We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I'm seriously disgusted."
The rapper called out Grande and said that she used his mental health to "promote a song," referring to the "Sweetener" singer's tweet about West and Drake's feud.
Grande later apologized for telling "a dumb joke."
"i really didn't mean any harm," she wrote on Twitter. "all i want everyone to be healthy and happy. so desperately. please. my god."
