Billie Eilish Received Backlash For Comment On Rappers Lying In Songs

Billie Eilish is under heat for a comment she made during her interview with Vogue Magazine. Eilish accused rappers of lying in their songs, and feels they are taking storytelling too far. 

“There’s a difference between lying in a song and writing a story. There are tons of songs where people are just lying. There’s a lot of that in rap right now, from people that I know who rap. It’s like, ‘I got my AK-47, and I’m fuckin’,’ and I’m like, what? You don’t have a gun. ‘And all my bitches…’ I’m like, which bitches? That’s posturing, and that’s not what I’m doing.”

Some people feel that Eilish doesn’t have the right to speak on Hip Hop, being that she is a Pop artist. Ironically, Eilish has songs with rappers Vince Staples and Khalid.
