Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che went ahead and responded to Kanye West tagging him in a since-deleted Instagram post over the weekend, in which he offered to double Michael’s SNL salary so he no longer has to “look” at Pete Davidson. In the post, Kanye explained that his account hadn’t been hacked and wrote that he’d “double whatever they paying you just so you don’t have to look at that pawn ever again.”

In response, Che dropped a handwritten note joking, “Sorry, Ye, but I would never betray my friends. For anything less than TRIPLE salary. That’s right, $90k per year! Full medical. Full dental. Four weeks vacay. Corner office. Plus, a pair of Red Octobers. Size 12. And you gotta make some beats for my band, ‘The Slap Butts.’ What else, what else. And you gotta tell me what you’re gonna wear to work the night before so we can look like twins. You do that for me, and I’ll Rambo that whole building.”

Kanye spent a lot of time this weekend making it pretty clear that he’s not a fan of Pete’s and seemingly shared a text from the SNL star which he captioned, “NO, YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY CHILDREN.” (In the alleged text, Pete had promised that he’d never get in the way of Kanye and Kim Kardashian raising their kids.)

Neither Kim nor Pete have publicly reacted to Kanye’s posts at this point.
