Billie Eilish Responds After Kanye West Accused Her Of Making Dig At Astroworld Tragedy

Kanye West threatened to pull out of the 2022 Coachella Festival if the 20-year-old singer doesn't apologise to Travis Scott.

Billie Eilish has responded after Kanye West called her out for comments she made at a concert which were perceived as being a dig towards Travis Scott after the Astroworld tragedy.

The 20-year-old pop star made comments at her concert on Saturday after spotting a fan in the audience experiencing breathing problems.

The 'Happier Than Ever' singer stopped the show, which took place in Atlanta, to ensure her crew were able to help the fan with an inhaler.

“I wait for people to be OK before I keep going," she said to the crowd at the State Farm Arena after the fan received help. West took this comment as a dig towards fellow rapper and collaborator Scott, who is facing 275 lawsuits after 10 people died at the festival and over 300 people were injured during a crowd surge.

Scott, 30, denied that he knew fans were being crushed as he carried on with his performance.

West, who is scheduled to headline the 2022 Coachella festival alongside Eilish, posted a picture of an article which claimed that Eilish "dissed" Travis on Instagram, and shared the caption: "COME ON BILLIE WE LOVE YOU PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO TRAV AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES NO ONE INTENDED THIS TO HAPPEN TRAV DIDN’T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN HE WAS ON STAGE AND WAS VERY HURT BY WHAT HAPPENED AND YES TRAV WILL BE WITH ME AT COACHELLA BUT NOW I NEED BILLIE TO APOLOGIZE BEFORE I PERFORM".

Eilish responded to Kanye's post in the comments, writing: "literally never said a thing about travis. was just helping a fan".

In a December 2021 interview with internet personality Charlamagne Tha God, Scott said he did not know people had died at his concert until after the show was over.

“It wasn't really until minutes before the press conference until I figured out exactly what happened," he said. "Even after the show, you're just kind of hearing things, but I didn't know the exact details until minutes before the press conference."

There were 50,000 fans in attendance and things turned deadly when the crowd started surging towards the stage. The youngest victim was Ezra Blount, 9. The others fatalities ranged in age from 14 to 27.

Scott added: “I stopped like a couple of times just to make sure everybody was OK. “I just really go off the fans energy as a collective, you know? Call and response. I just didn't, I just didn't hear that.”
