Billie Eilish facing backlash over UNO decision - her brother Finneas isn’t having any of it

Billie Eilish has been fiercely defended by her brother Finneas after her latest business move sparked backlash online - and it's all to do with UNO.

To catch you up on the context, the 24-year-old singer hasn't been afraid to share her thoughts on the super-rich, and back in October, she called out billionaires during the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, which took place in New York City.

Eilish, who recently donated a whopping $11.5 million of her own money to charity, told the crowd, which included none other than the world's second-richest person, Mark Zuckerberg: "We're in a time right now where the world is really, really bad and really dark and people need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country.

"I'd say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, maybe give it to some people that need it."

She then directly directly addressed the billionaires in the room, adding: "Love you all, but there's a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?

"No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties."

Eilish later took aim at the world's richest man Elon Musk's wealth, sharing a series of screengrabs on her Instagram, demonstrating all the humanitarian contributions the Tesla founder could make to society if he donated more of his money, including solving world hunger for $40 billion a year, saving endangered animal species, and rebuilding Gaza.

"etc.... F**king pathetic p***y b***h coward," Eilish captioned her collection.

Now, what does this have to do with UNO, you may be asking? Well, hardcore fans of the singer will know that she joined forces with Mattel and UNO earlier this year to design her very own deck.

Last week, Eilish revealed that her exclusive version of the game has been restocked - perfect for any fans looking for a last minute Christmas present.

However, given how vocal she's been against capitalism, some people took aim at this move, with one social media user penning: "BREAKING: Billie Eillish Backlash. After she was heard telling billionaires to give their money away because they have too much, many fans started questioning her capitalist move of selling her UNO cards when some users are saying she has enough money, why do this? #fblifestyle."

Others agreed: "For an anticapitalist this b**** sure does a lot of capitalism" and "Ladies and gentlemen our anti-capitalist queen".

However, among others, her brother Finneas rushed to her defence, replying to one post on Threads with: "You guys do know that in order to give money away, you do have to make the money in the first place, right?"

While a second agreed: "Came here to say that. She is DOING great things with her donations to causes. Thank you Billie and Finneas. Your mom and pop raised you right."

A third wrote: "The difference that needs to connect for people is that 1 billion is 1,000 times more than 1 million. Nobody should actually be mad at artists for having a few million dollars. Billionaires on the other hand should not exist."

And a fourth chimed in with: "She already donated 25% of her net worth. Y’all will never be satisfied and always find something to nit pick."
