The T-shirt with the FDNY logo and the words “New York Fire Department” was likely a tribute to his late father.

The comedian’s father, Scott Matthew Davidson, served as a firefighter in New York and died in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Pete was 7 years old at the time.

The “King of Staten Island” star was seen smiling alongside MGK, formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly, and appeared to be enjoying the outing.
