When Billie Eilish and Drake&#039;s friendship came to the light, fans went buzzing with backlash and this is how Eilish had her friend&#039;s back.

“Everybody’s so sensitive” – When 18-Year-Old Billie Eilish Defended Her Friendship With Drake

Billie Eilish is an absolute fan-favorite right from the beginning of her
singing career. The American singer-songwriter has some of the best hits to her
name, including Don’t Smile at Me, Bad Guy, and Happier Than Ever. However,
sometimes all the fame and popularity backfire as people start picking up on
every word and action.



There was a time when the Oscar-winning singer put the Canadian rapper Drake in
trouble due to one of her interviews. The friendship between the two artists did
not go well with a lot of people all across the globe and they slammed Drake for
being in touch with the young girl. However, the highlight of the entire fiasco
was Billie Eilish taking the initiative of clearing the air and backing her dear
friend.

BILLIE EILISH SLAMS THE TROLLS

It was in March 2020 that Billie Elish shut all the critics who were slamming
her friendship with Drake. The singer called the internet sensitive while
advising people to be a little chill on social media. “The internet is such a
stupid-ass mess right now. Everybody’s so sensitive. A grown man can’t be a fan
of an artist? Like, you’re really going to say that Drake is creepy because he’s
a fan of mine,” Eilish told Vogue
[https://www.vogue.com/article/billie-eilish-cover-march-2020].

The criticism and trolling for Drake kick-started in November 2019 when Billie
Eilish made a revelation about texting Drake. The pop singer was once asked to
name some of the most famous people on her mobile phone. Answering this, the
seven-time Grammy winner mentioned the likes of Ty Dolla Sign, Teyana Taylor,
Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Justin Bieber

Young Thug, and Avril Lavigne.

Meanwhile, she also highlighted how Drake was the nicest person she has ever
talked to. While Billie Eilish could not stop singing praises for the rapper,
the fans were reminded of Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/]’s confession of being in
touch with Drake. In 2019, Millie also revealed that Drake constantly messaged
her about missing her.

The two back-to-back confessions had not gone well with the people. They slammed
the Canadian star for being a creep. What went against Drake was that both Brown
and Eilish were just 14 and 18 years old at that time.
