In the image, Davidson – who is dating West’s estranged wife, Kim Kardashian – is seen wearing a cap that reads, “Make Kanye 2006 Again”.
The skit also made fun of Kanye’s friendship with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Kanye – who refers to Pete as “Skete” – wrote on Instagram: “HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME? (sic)”
In a follow-up post, Kanye also insisted his comments didn’t amount to harassment.
He wrote online: “This boy thought he could get away with performing this sketch for the team that wrote this for him.”
Kanye added: “This is not harassment This is payback. (sic)”

In the skit, Davidson performed an impression of the rap star, who has North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two, with Kardashian.
The comedian said: “This is the real me. I am off the meds, take ’em, no shame in the medicine game.”
Kanye – who has previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder – recently apologized for “harassing” Kardashian on social media.
The ‘Stronger’ hitmaker deleted all of his recent posts about his estranged wife and said he was “learning in real time.”
Alongside a photo of himself on stage, Kanye – who married the brunette beauty in 2014 – wrote: “I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them.
“I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me. (sic)”
All posts have since been removed by Kanye.
