Davidson claimed that Grande decided to release “Thank U, Next” just minutes before an episode of SNL aired because it had gotten back to Grande’s team that Davidson had made a comment about her during the dress rehearsal.
“Usually when you hear I said something about someone, you don’t think it’s going to be nice,” he continued, before adding that he was always planning on saying something nice about Grande.
Reps for Grande did not immediately return People’s request for comment about the jokes.
Even after Grande released the song, in which she name-drops Davidson and other former flames, he still complimented his ex on SNL, calling her a “wonderful, strong person” and adding, “I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world.”
Davidson and Grande split in October, and though the comedian has admitted to having a hard time in the months since, a source recently told People he is enjoying the single life.
Most recently, Davidson was spotted chatting with Kate Beckinsale for about 45 minutes at a Golden Globes afterparty last week.
Davidson arrived at the Netflix party in Los Angeles alongside close friend Machine Gun Kelly, but the two quickly separated once the comedian began talking to the actress.
The two talked intently for most of the night before they were joined by Kelly, Isla Fisher, and Sacha Baron Cohen. But even as the group mingled, Davidson and Beckinsale, 45, kept their focus on each other.
Eventually, the other members of the group wandered off, and Davidson and Beckinsale continued to chat. One source says they cuddled at the party as well.

Days later, the actress clapped back at an Instagram commenter who brought up the pair’s flirty interaction and tried to shade the actress for it.
Alongside a throwback photograph of Beckinsale with her mother, actress Judy Loe, one Instagram user commented, “Dear heavens, Kate. Not Pete Davidson.”
Without missing a beat, Beckinsale responded, “No, that’s my mother. Easy mistake.”
