The comedian discussed the R. Kelly accusations as well as the church.
Comedian Pete Davidson didn’t hold back during the Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live this weekend, comparing people who support the Catholic church to R. Kelly fans.
Seemingly aware that he was stepping into a controversial subject, Davidson began by commenting: “Have you guys seen the R. Kelly documentary? Before I continue, like this guy is a monster, and he should go to jail forever.” Also mentioning the Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland that looked into allegations of abuse involving the late singer, Davidson continued: “Look, I’m not saying its an easy decision, like, I’m just saying you don’t know how good someone’s music really is until you find out they’re a pedophile. And the reason everyone’s so upset is ‘cos R Kelly and Michael Jackson make great music. If I found out Macklemore did some weird stuff, I’d be happy to free up the space on my iPhone.
