Drake's stage name has become synonymous with the artist.
Billie Eilish Was All Smiles Despite Drake’s Crude Comment
The musician didn’t have anything to say about the crass remark that mentions her on Drake’s new album as she made her way into the studio.
In the song “Another Late Night,” Lil Yachty makes a reference to Billie’s cleavage. “I let her go, she fine as hell but baby wasn't stylish / She had big t—ts like Billie Eilish but she couldn't sing / We catch the opps, don't want no apologies, just kiss the ring,” he raps.
As Yahoo! Entertainment point out, the lyrics caused a stir online, with many fans deeming them impropriate and cringey. “An unknown talking about a legend,” one person wrote, while another comment said, “Who even is Lil Yachty LFMAO.” The rapper was dubbed a “weirdo” and his writing skills were criticized in the question.
Some fans even took a jab at Drake, questioning why he allowed the lyrics, given that he’s friends with Billie in real life.
Billie Has Defended Her Controversial Friendship With Drake
It’s not necessarily surprising that Billie hasn’t commented on Drake name dropping her in his track, and that’s because the two have maintained a very public friendship. To her, the lyrics may be all in good fun, as many singers reference one another in their music (both good and bad).
However, Billie’s friendship with Drake has been called into question before, especially when she revealed they often texted during an interview with Vanity Fair when she was only 17-years old. The duo instantly faced backlash for Billie’s revelation, with Drake (who was 33 at the time) being dubbed “creepy” by the Internet.
Months later, Billie responded to the backlash to defend their friendship. “Everybody’s so sensitive,” she told Vogue in 2020. “A grown man can’t be a fan of an artist? There are so many people that the internet should be more worried about.”
Drake Insults Fan Who Showed Up To His Performance Wearing Kanye West’s Yeezy
Drake's backhanded compliment is proof that his feud with Kanye is alive and well.
Billie clarified the two “only texted,” and didn’t hang out, but she referred to the rapper as the “nicest dude I’ve ever spoken to.”
“The internet is such a stupid a– mess right now,” Billie continued. “You’re really going to say that Drake is creepy because he’s a fan of mine, and then you’re going to go vote for Trump? What the f–k is that s–t?”
For now, neither Drake nor Billie have responded to the controversy over his newest lyric mentioning her.
