Billie Eilish denies shading Travis Scott after Kanye West demands apology: ‘Was just helping a fan’
Billie Eilish has denied she threw shade at Travis Scott after the Astroworld tragedy while stopping a show to help a fan that was having an asthma attack. The singer, 20, had been filmed pausing one of her shows to check on a fan and make sure they got an asthma inhaler before telling the audience: ‘I wait for people to be okay until I keep going.’While she did not name Travis, 30, some took the comment to be referencing his Astroworld concert from November, during which he was accused of ignoring fans in difficulty to keep performing, something he denied, claiming he was unaware of what was happening. Ten people died and hundreds were injured after crowds surged towards the stage in Houston, Texas, leaving some fans crushed and trampled by the weight of the crowd. After Billie’s clip went viral, Kanye, 44, took to Instagram to demand she apologises to Travis before he would perform at Coachella with the rapper. He wrote alongside a screenshot of a news story: ‘Come on Billie we love you please apologise 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 what was happening when he was on stage and was very hurt by what happened.’Kanye added: ‘And yes Trav will be with me at Coachella but now I need Billie to apologise before I perform.’My 600lb Life's first transgender star Destinee Lashaee dies aged 30Nelly sorry after sex tape leaked on Instagram: ‘This was an old video’Funk legend Betty Davis dies of natural causes aged 77Billie denied that her comments were aimed at Travis, writing in response: ‘Literally never said a thing about Travis.
