Billie Eilish responds to the Lil Yachty's lewd lyrics about her body

Billie Eilish has responded to Lil Yachty's messy lyrics about her body on Drake's song "Another Late Night."

Billie Eilish has spoken out about Lil Yachty's lewd lyrics regarding her body, which were included in Drake's song "Another Late Night." Lil Yachty (actual name Miles Parks McCollum), 26, appears on the 21st track of For All the Dogs, the latest album from the "One Dance" rapper.

Drake calls out the "weirdos" in the song, referring to his connection with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown. Lil Yachty joins in halfway through the song, rapping, "She had big tits like Billie Eilish but she couldn't sing (Drip)."

Following the album's October release, Lil Yachty's line drew criticism from listeners who termed his reference to the "Ocean Eyes" vocalist "crude."


However, in a new interview with Variety, Eilish, 21, who has been open about her challenges with body image, gave an unexpected response when asked if she was offended by the lyrics.

"I think it's going to be fun!" she exclaimed. "I'm honored! Yachty is a friend of mine. Drake is a friend of mine. It's all a joke. I have a lot of tits. I adore it."

The "Ocean Eyes" singer has become known for wearing enormous androgynous clothing, which she previously admitted she does to avoid people commenting on her figure. She explained that she wasn't "trying to have people not sexualize me," but rather that she "didn't want people to have access to my body, even visually."

She explained " She has had big boobs since she was nine years old, and it's simply who she is”.

In 2019, a photo of Eilish, who was 17 at the time, wearing a tank top sparked an outpouring of criticism over her figure. Eilish told Variety that “she wear something that's at all revealing, and everyone's like, 'Oh, but you didn't want people to sexualize you?'"

"You are welcome to suck my ass!" I'm practically a sexual being at times. F*** you!"

During an interview with Vogue earlier this year, the "Bad Guy" singer discussed her "anger" against her body, stating that it was "gaslighting" her.

A growth plate injury to her hip at the age of 13 forced Eilish to give up on her dream of becoming a professional dancer.

The Grammy-winning performer described how she "had to go through a process of being like, 'My body is actually me,'" in order to get over her body image concerns and progress toward self-acceptance. It's not trying to harm me either.

Eilish has received six nominations for the 67th Grammy Awards. Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Song Written For Visual Media, and Best Music Video are among the contenders.
