Pete Davidson is speaking candidly about his manhood.

During an appearance on The Breakfast Club Thursday, the 29-year-old addressed the rumors surrounding his BDE, better known as “big dick energy.” Davidson admitted that he didn’t understand people’s interest in the matter.

"I don't understand. It's really not that special," Davidson said. "It's a very normal-sized penis. It's not too big or too small. Yeah, I don't understand that."

He added that the feedback he’s received about his specific body part doesn’t square with the BDE label. "It's big enough to enjoy and not big enough to hurt, is what I was told," Davidson jokingly said.

Davidson’s BDE title goes back to 2018 after his ex-fiancée Ariana Grande commented on the former SNL alum’s size. This happened during a Q&A on Twitter when a fan asked the singer about the length of her “Pete Davidson” song. "Like 10 inches...oh fuck...I mean...like a lil over a minute," Grande responded.

Kim Kardashian, who split from Davidson last August, said she was initially interested in him because of the BDE rumors she heard on an episode of The Kardashians. “I wasn't even thinking like 'Oh my god I'm gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking...I heard about this BDE. I need to get out there,” the reality star revealed when reflecting on the beginning of their relationship.

This week, the New York native’s trailer for his semi-autobiographical Peacock series Bupkis was released. In the clip, he touches on the label again. "You've got that big dick, right? Like pussy Thanos," Ray Romano's character tells Davidson.
