Pete Davidson defends Ariana Grande for wearing his father's badgeJuly 17 (AZINS) Pete Davidson has clapped back at a fan who criticised Ariana Grande for honouring his late father.

The Saturday Night Live star stood by his fiancee when the singer was slammed for wearing a pendant of his late father's New York City Fire Department badge.

On Friday, Davidson posted a picture of Grande on Instagram wearing a necklace with a replica of his late father Scott's FDNY badge and number, and a fan commented "No girl should ever wear your dad's chain. So disrespectful."

Davidson then fired back in a comment, "For your information, that's not just some girl, that's my fiancee. She's the greatest person I know. I gave it to her because she has my heart and that is the most precious thing I own. My dad would be so happy and love her so much." Grande also commented on the photo.

"I love you more than anything," she wrote.
