Billie Eilish has responded to the controversial lyrics about her body that featured on Drake’s track ‘Another Late Night’. The song, which was released as part of Drake’s eighth studio album ‘For All The Dogs’, saw Lil Yachty include the lyrics “She had big tits like Billie Eilish but she couldn’t sing (Drip).”
The line gained a lot of attention from Eilish’s fans, who questioned the appropriateness of the lyric. But in a new interview with Variety, Eilish has said she’s flattered by the mention. “I think it’s fun!” said the ‘Ocean Eyes’ singer. “I’m flattered! Yachty is my friend and Drake is my friend, it’s a joke. I do have big tits. I love it.”
Since the start of her career, Eilish has been known for her eclectic style, often opting for oversized androgynous clothing. This was to avoid comments about her body, Eilish admitted, saying, “I wasn’t trying to have people not sexualize me. But I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually. I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything.”
The singer also mentioned the incident in 2019 when a photo of her wearing a tank top led to a flurry of comments about her body. “You wear something that’s at all revealing, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, but you didn’t want people to sexualize you?’ You can suck my ass! I’m literally a being that is sexual sometimes. Fuck you!”
Eilish has been recognized for her work, scoring six nominations at the 67th annual Grammy Awards. The nominations include 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.
