‘I need Billie to apologize before I perform’: Kanye West issues new demand to Billie Eilish

Kanye West took to Instagram on Thursday to demand that Billie Eilish apologize for her recent comments regarding Travis Scott and the Astroworld tragedy.

The Donda rapper started out by saying ‘come on Billie we love you’ and adding that no one intended for the tragedy to happen and that ‘Trav didn’t have any idea of what was happening when he was on stage.’

The 44-year-old musician then issued an ultimatum, saying, ‘I need Billie to apologize before I perform.’

‘Come on Billie we love you please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives,’ he started out his statement.

‘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,’ he continued.

‘And yes Trav will be with me at Coachella but now I need Billie to apologize before I perform,’ he concluded.

The statement comes after Eilish, 20, recently stopped her show to give an inhaler to a fan who couldn’t breathe, and made a comment that many took to be a dig at Scott.

After noticing a distressed fan, Eilish stopped her show and directed medical staff to administer aid to the fan and subsequently asked the other attendees to step back and let the individual in question regain their composure. 

‘I wait for people to be OK until I keep going,’ the Ocean Eyes singer said, seeming to allude to Scott’s deadly Astroworld Festival while shaming the rapper’s conduct on stage.

The singer’s comment caused the audience to begin cheering loudly, and she proceeded to resume her show.

The incident involving Scott, 30, took place during the first night of the Astroworld Festival, which was held on November 5th of last year.

The performer’s fans began acting aggressively just after the start of his set, during which a crowd surge occurred and thousands were pushed towards the main stage.

During Scott’s performance, ten people were crushed by other fans and died from the effects of various ailments, including cardiac arrest and asphyxiation.

The concert was notably designated as a mass casualty event roughly halfway through its length.

However, the rapper continued to perform for his fans and brought out Drake to finish off his set, which ended around 10 PM.

Scott later garnered controversy for allegedly ignoring the events unfolding around him and was accused of ignoring concertgoers who had experienced medical issues during his set.

Several lawsuits were filed against the rapper for his role in the festival’s tragic events and Eilish replaced him on the Coachella bill.
