Pete Davidson Says He Was High on Ketamine at Aretha Franklin’s Funeral, Regrets Comments to Her Family

The comedian revealed he was high on ketamine while escorting his then-fianceé to the funeral in a new Netflix special.

Pete Davidson dropped his third hour-long stand-up special on Tuesday, titled Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli, in which the former Saturday Night Live cast member delivers jokes about everything from navigating his stalker to a confusing childhood crush on Leonardo DiCaprio and his adventures gone awry while under the influence. She was laid to rest in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan, following a celebration of her life at the 4,000-seat Greater Grace Temple, where she was honored for more than six hours with 18 performers and more than 15 speakers. Page Six, who was first to report the news, said Davidson was being treated at the same Pennsylvania facility where his friend and fellow comedian John Mulaney sought help for substance abuse issues.
