Pete drew inspiration from the hit Barbie movie for his clip, in which he stripped topless and donned a pair of pink trousers.
He sported a bleach blonde hairstyle and sung about returning to host SNL.
In the song, to the tune of the movie soundtrack song I’m Just Ken, he firstly poked fun at himself and his “b***hole eyes.”
Making reference to his numerous girlfriends, he then added: “Yet I never sleep alone at night.”
However, it was in the next verse where he took aim at Kim’s ex.
Pete, perched on a sofa, sung: “People online still call me Skete because I’m a guy whose name I can’t say legally,” before the screen flashed to an image of Kanye.
The audience could be heard giggling at the quip.
While Pete and Kim were an item, her ex-husband Kanye had a public battle with the comic, throwing attacks at him via social media.
One fan then took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to praise Pete’s witty dig.
“HA! I knew Pete would take a shot at Kanye! Well played,” one person said.
Another added: “… We get a I’m Just Ken ( with a quick Kanye pic) parody? Total win.”
KANYE CALL OUT
Kim, 42, and rapper Kanye, 46, revealed they were expecting their first child together in 2012 and got married in 2014.
The couple has four children together: North, 10; Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four.
In February 2021, Kim filed for divorce, and in November 2022, their divorce was finalized.
PETE RUMORS
In the beginning of 2022, the Hulu star was spotted hanging out with funnyman Pete, but eventually called it quits in the summer.
Pete is the most recent man that Kim was confirmed to be dating.
The romance started when The Kardashians star made her hosting debut on the NBC variety show in October 2021.
The two shocked fans when they kissed during their sketch of Disney’s Aladdin.
SHOW SADNESS
Earlier in the episode, Pete’s show took a more sombre tone in his monologue.
Pete, who rose to fame as a cast member on SNL, returned as host while rapper Ice Spice, 23, was the live act.
Instead of a skit before the opening credits rolled, Pete decided to address the Israel/Palestine conflict unflinchingly.
He began by joking: “I know what you’re thinking: Who better to comment than Pete Davidson?
He further and more seriously continued: “When I was seven years old, my dad [firefighter Scott] was killed in a terrorist attack.”
Voice trembling, Pete continued: “I saw what that’s like. I saw so many terrible pictures this week of children suffering.
“I saw so many terrible pictures this week. Children suffering, Israeli children and Palestinian children. It took me back to a horrible place.
“No one in this world deserves to suffer like that, especially not kids.”
Prior to the show, Pete was said to have been living a “reclusive” life after his rehab stint.
He confessed to taking ketamine for about four years before entering rehab in June.
