Kanye West calls out Billie Eilish for allegedly dissing Travis Scott
On Thursday, Kanye West turned to Instagram to criticize Billie Eilish over statements she made about concert safety at a recent show, which West allegedly mistook for a dig at rapper and Astroworld Festival founder Travis Scott.
Billie Eilish allegedly dissed Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy during her performance, prompting a response from the rapper and father of four.
During her Feb. 5 concert at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Eilish paused the show after seeing a distressed fan in the audience.
“Do you need an inhaler? Who needs it?” Eilish said, pointing into the crowd. “Do we have an inhaler? Can we just grab one? Guys, give it some time. Don’t crowd…We’re taking care of our people, hold on. I wait for people to be ok until I keep going.”

Despite Eilish never having mentioned Scott, West posted on Instagram a screenshot from hip-hop account @RapSeaTV that reads, “Billie Eilish dissed Travis Scott at her concert after she stopped the show to give her fan an inhaler! ‘I wait for the people to be okay before I keep going.’”
According to the storey, Eilish took a break in the middle of her performance to assist a fan who appeared to be in need of assistance with an inhaler.
Responding in his own caption, West wrote, “Come on Billie we love you. Please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives. No one intended this to happen.”
West added: “Trav didn’t have any idea of what was happening when he was on stage and was very hurt by what happened, and yes Trav will be with me at Coachella, but now I need Billie to apologize before I perform.”
A couple of hours after he posted, Eilish responded in the comments: “Literally never said a thing about Travis. Was just helping a fan,” she wrote.
This year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held in Indio, California from April 15-17 and 22-24, will include both West and Eilish as headliners.
Scott was originally scheduled as a headliner, but he was pulled from the festival after the Astroworld catastrophe, which claimed the lives of ten concertgoers and injured hundreds more.
