This weekend, during Saturday Night Live's season premiere, Pete Davidson made a controversial joke that some people are NOT happy with.

When Pete appeared on Weekend Update to talk about his relationship with Ariana Grande, he made a joke about how he was going to make sure that Ari stays with him.

He said: "Last night I switched her birth control with Tic Tacs... I believe in us and all, but I just want to make sure that she can't go anywhere." Oof.

So, what do you think about Pete's birth control joke?
