"Last night I switched her birth control with Tic-Tacs," he continued. "No, I believe in us and all, but you know, I just want to like, make sure. Then she can’t go anywhere."
Pete Davidson has come under fire for cracking an inappropriate joke about his fiancée, Ariana Grande.
The off-color remark came during a skit on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, when Davidson joked about swapping out Grande's birth control pills for Tic-Tacs in order to continue living the lavish lifestyle she has provided him.

View StoryOne SNL fan wrote: "Pete Davidson joking about switching birth control for tic-tacs is gross and disgusting. Reproductive Coercion is sexual and domestic abuse. Taking the choice of pregnancy away from your partner is manipulative and abusive. Idc if he's joking. Abuse is never funny. #petedavidson".
"Hey Pete Davidson," a Twitter user said, "Can you not make creepy and uncalled for jokes about switching your fiancé's birth control with tic tacs? Let's not normalize that disgusting manipulation. #snl #weekendupdate #petedavidson".
"Pete Davidson is creepy," another tweet said. "He's always looked like a zombie with a bad makeup job. I recently heard what he had to say about Grande's birth control and his creep level skyrocketed. #petedavidson #isacreep".

Can we stop hyping Pete Davidson for dating Ariana ? suddenly a hit bc he jokes about banging her, switching her birth control to trap her, her getting touched by a priest. everything he says about her is about her body and him eternally “hard” #nope #canceled #SNL #petedavidson
@TEmersyn
that whole #PeteDavidson segment was uncomfortable... #ArianaGrande dropped out of #SNL for personal reason and now he's joking about knocking her up so he can trap her, mooching off her money and comparing himself to Malcolm X#SNLPremiere pic.twitter.com/mwpY9xwlzs
