Scott’s name was most recently in headlines yesterday (Feb. 10) after Kanye threatened to pull out of Coachella if Billie Eilish didn’t apologize to Travis. The problem with the demand was that it was misdirected. Kanye posted a screenshot of a misleading headline that claimed Eilish called out Scott when she stopped a recent show in order for a fan to get an inhaler.
COME ON BILLIE WE LOVE YOU PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO TRAV AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES,” he wrote. “NO ONE INTENDED THIS TO HAPPEN 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.”
Kanye West posted
Billie Eilish then responded to Kanye West’s request for an apology, denouncing that she was alluding to Travis Scott at a recent show when she helped a fan. Last November, Scott was called out for reportedly neglecting the needs of his fans while many were being injured due to a crowd surge at Astroworld festival the same month.
