Pete Davidson offers comedian $20k item as apology following argument that made them stop speaking

Now, that's an expensive way of saying sorry

Pete Davidson has reportedly sent a very expensive olive branch out to a former friend.

The former Saturday Night Live star is currently undergoing somewhat of a major transformation at the moment, with the 31-year-old recently spending an almighty $200,000 (£161,300) on having his tattoos removed.

Not content with turning his body into a blank canvas, the comedian has also offered his former friend Colin Jost a very lavish gift in hopes of mending their former friendship.

According to reports from Page Six and The Sun, Davidson dropped a whopping $20k (£15.5k) on a Cartier watch for his former friend.

Which is certainly a pretty pricey way of saying sorry.

Davidson and Jost had become friends after working together on SNL, where Jost is the co-host of the Weekend Update sketch. The pair would go on to purchase a decommissioned Staten Island ferry together in 2022.

It's currently unclear as to what caused the pair to fall out so badly that a Cartier apology watch would be needed in the first place, with previous reports from The Sun alleging that the fallout had caused Jost to end his 10-year friendship with The King of Staten Island star. It's also been claimed the rift impacted the refurbishment of the ferry, which was planned to be transformed into an entertainment venue.

Jost previously spoke about the joint decision to purchase the $280,000 (£217,077) ferry last year, telling PEOPLE it was 'the dumbest and least thought-through purchase' he'd ever made.

"It is absolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I've ever made in my life," he said last September, adding that he'd justified it on a 'basic square-footage level'.

"If you found the right place for it to be, you were essentially buying a building on its side that's 65,000 square feet. So around New York, that is a very good price per square foot," he added.

Meanwhile, Davidson recently gave an update on the painful process of having all of his tattoos removed, explaining to Page Six during the release of his film Riff Raff that he was currently having his torso zapped.

"It's terrible," he said of the process, going on to add: "They burn off your skin and then you’ve got to do it 10 more times. I think if you can invest in any business, I think you should invest in the tattoo removal business."

Davidson went on to add that he isn't raw-dogging the removal process entirely, adding that he had local anaesthetic while having the ink removed from his arm.

"They just put me to sleep which is kind of nice but if it’s just the arm, I try to listen to stuff or talk to the nurse," he explained.
