Kanye West is not taking his divorce from Kim Kardashian well.

While he's been flaunting his new famous woman Julia Fox in public, behind the scenes he's been trying to disparage Kim's new guy Pete Davidson.

According to TMZ, Ye's been spreading a rumor that ladies' man Pete has AIDS.

The news was first reported by DJ Akademiks, but now the gossip rag has received confirmation of Ye's loose talk from people in Davidson's circle.

"Sources close to Davidson confirm what DJ Akademiks claimed earlier this week, "Kanye's been telling everybody within earshot" that Pete has AIDS. We're told Kanye's claim has made for a few awkward phone calls between Pete and mutual friends he has with Kanye -- who are confused and disturbed by the childish behavior."

Davidson has already upped his security because he's worried about reprisals from Ye Stans.

Kanye's team has denied they are spreading HIV rumors and Pete's team denies he has AIDS.
