Astroworld Victim’s Family BLASTS Kanye West For ‘Idiotic’ Billie Eilish Attack

perezhilton.com:

The family of the youngest Astroworld Festival victim has some thoughts about Kanye West’s demand for Billie Eilish to apologize after reports came out that she seemingly shaded Travis Scott over the deadly crowd surge at his concert in November.

In an interview with Rolling Stone on Thursday, the grandparents of 9-year-old Ezra Blount spoke out against the 44-year-old rapper’s recent social media post, calling the whole situation not only “idiotic” but “hurtful” as well. Bernon Blount told the outlet: Related: Kanye West Calls Out Fan For Claiming He’s ‘Off The Meds’ Following Wild Social Media Behavior Ezra’s grandmother Tericia Blount then added: As we previously reported, Eilish stopped in the middle of her performance at State Farm Arena in Atlanta last week after realizing that a concertgoer was struggling to breathe in the crowd.

After quickly providing the fan with an inhaler, the 20-year-old singer told the audience: Many people interpreted her comment as a criticism of Scott, who continued to perform at his Astroworld concert last year while festivalgoers were crushed in the crowd.

The stampede killed 10 individuals – including Ezra, who fell from his father’s shoulders during the surge, ended up in a coma, and later died in the hospital.
