Billie Eilish responds to Kanye West apology demands for alleged Travis Scott diss

Ye (previously known as Kanye West) asked Billie Eilish to apologize for allegedly making a dig at Travis Scott during one of her recent Happier Than Ever, The World Tour gigs, and Eilish has responded.

The rapper shared a RapSeaTV headline earlier in the day on Thursday (Feb. 10) about Eilish temporarily delaying one of her gigs to grab a fan an inhaler. According to concert footage, she added, "I wait for the folks to be OK before I keep going." Ye said that the musician "dissed Travis Scott," referring to the November catastrophe at his Astroworld Festival, which left ten people dead and many more injured.

Coachella in April will feature Ye and Eilish, as well as Harry Styles and Swedish House Mafia. Scott was previously scheduled to perform at the festival in 2020, alongside Rage Against the Machine and Frank Ocean.

However, following the fatalities at the Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas, a petition was created in November calling for Scott to be removed from the festival. On the day of the tragedy, eight individuals perished. The ninth, a 22-year-old college student, died in a hospital on November 10th. Ezra Blount, the tenth – and youngest – child, died Nov. 14 in a hospital after being placed in a medically induced coma.

Scott previously stated that he was unaware of the crowd surge and deaths until "minutes before the press conference," which took place hours later.
