This led him on the suicidal path that his performance in school became chaotic. At a time he wanted to remove the hairs on his head without a clipper, using his hand.
It took the music of Kid Cudi to help him accept the loss as he admitted on The Breakfast Club Morning radio show in 2016. He also seems to know Kid Cudi on a personal level.

PETE DAVIDSON CARS
Pete Davidson doesn’t have a numbers of cars in his garage save for an Audi, Ford and a Mercedes S-Class.
The Mercedes S-Class is his most promoted car. It cost him $185k to acquire the car.
In 2017, he posted a video of his grandpa driving the Mercedes S-Class.
He posted “Since I was 5 years old my grandpa always told me he wanted to drive a S class. The other day my mom took him out in mine. This video makes me cry”.
When a follower suggested he gift the car to his grandad, he asked if the follower watched the video because his grandad hand was shaky.
PETE DAVIDSON RESIDENCE
Pete Davidson used to reside in an apartment in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
He has a house that is worth $820,000.
That was before he started dating Ariana Grande.
With their engagement, they bought an apartment in Chelsea, New York at a cost of $16 million. It is a 4000 square feet apartment that has one of the only IMAX theatres in the world.
The apartment even has an indoor pool, spa, fitness centre and a private party area.
HOW MUCH MONEY DOES PETE DAVIDSON HAS?
He gets paid $15,000 per episode. That is small compared with top celebrities like Kim Kardashian and even his fiancée Ariana Grande makes from an event.
However that pay is impressive for a 24 year old. Most 24 year old don’t get more than $1k monthly.
Pete Davidson net worth is at $2 million. That is strange because his annual income is a little above $300k. If you multiply that by the number of years he has been with Saturday Night Live, it is not up to $2m.
However, if you put into cognisance the fact that Pete Davidson has acted in some movies, you would see that the money is just fine.
He recently proposed to Ariana Grande with a 3-carat Gold ring valued at $100k.
Congrats Pete.
Hope the engagement turn out to be fruitful for the both of them.
