Awkward welcome? Nearly three years after Pete Davidson publicly dissed the city of Syracuse, New York, he was greeted with a less than warm welcome while attending a college basketball game this weekend.“Pete Davidson pulled up to the @Cuse_MBB game and got booed by the crowd,” the Twitter account for basketball outlet CBB review captioned a clip from the event on Saturday, February 6.In the Jumbotron footage, the Saturday Night Live star, 28, is seen laughing as his fellow game attendees pointedly boo at his arrival.“Hello, Syracuse Orange men, thank you so much for having me and my friends in the building,” the comedian said via a Twitter video posted on sports reporter Mike Curtis’ page on Saturday. “We had a really great time, so, peace?”The New York native’s dislike of the upstate town first made headlines three years ago, when he opened up about filming Big Time Adolescence — alongside pal Machine Gun Kelly — in the area.“Dude, I was shooting this movie out in Syracuse.

Syracuse, you know, it’s trash,” Davidson said during a September 2018 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. “Worse than Staten Island.

The nicest hotel in Syracuse is, like, a f–king Ramada.”Several months later, he doubled down on his anti-Syracuse stance.“It sucked,” Davidson told Variety in January 2019 of his filming experience. “The whole town of Syracuse blows.

Let’s be honest, they just found out I was there and tried to arrest me the whole time.”He continued at the time: “The cops, because there’s nothing going on there, they were hunting me down the whole time [I was there].
