NME.COM:: Billie Eilish responds to criticism for mourning XXXTentacion: “I don’t think I deserve getting hate for loving someone that passed”

The pop star was friends with the controversial rapper
Billie Eilish has spoken about the death of XXXTentacion and facing criticism for grieving for him.

In a new interview in the New York Times, Eilish briefly talked about the aftermath of his death. “I want to be able to mourn, I don’t want to be shamed for it,” she said. “I don’t think I deserve getting hate for loving someone that passed.”

The pop star had dedicated a song to the rapper at a show months after his murder. Introducing the song, she told the crowd XXXTentacion was a “very powerful person [who] made me feel okay when nothing else did.” Social media comments and articles online criticised Eilish for paying tribute to an artist who had been accused of abuse.

Meanwhile, the singer recently told NME how she made the strange video for ‘When The Party’s Over’. She revealed it was inspired by a drawing given to her by a fan in which her eyes were black and had black ink dripping down from them.

“I just stared at it and I feel like I got star-struck by this image, this drawing of me,” Eilish said. Of the black substance used in the video, she explained: “The glass of, like, black shit was Xanthan gum mixed with charcoal water, but for that thickness. But I still had to take maybe like four swallows. Oh my god, it was such a long fucking day, but it turned out so perfect.”

Age ain’t nothing but a number. In Billie Eilish’s case though, it’s a big deal.

The pop singer-songwriter is 17 years old and the first artist born in the 2000s to hit No. 1, thanks to her debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”

She’s also the youngest woman to hit No. 1 since 2009 when Demi Lovato debuted with “Here We Go Again” at 16.

Here’s four other things you should know about Billie Eilish.

She’s the daughter of two actors

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell was born to Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell on December 18, 2001 in Los Angeles.

Her mother, Baird, is known for her work on the film “Life Inside Out” and video game “Mass Effect 2,” while O’Connell, her father, appeared in the movie “Iron Man”and TV show “The West Wing.”

In 2018, she revealed she had Tourette’s syndrome

 

Eilish opened up to fans on Instagram about living with Tourette’s.

“i would love to get this straight so everyone can stop acting goofy..,” she wrote on her story. “i have diagnosed tourettes. I’ve never mentioned it on the internet because nobody thinks I’m deadass..as well as…the fact that I’ve just never wanted people to think of tourettes every time they think of me.”

Her Instagram handle is @wherearetheavocados

Eilish told the story behind the name of her Instagram handle in an interview with iHeartRadio.

About seven years ago, she was in her kitchen making a grilled cheese sandwich and wanted some avocados to go with it.

There were none to be found.

“I screamed at the top of my lungs, ‘Where are the avocados?!’ No one answered, no one helped me, I ended up not eating avocados with that grilled cheese,” she said. “So I made up my username as a f***ing joke. Because I was like, this sh*t would be fire as my username.”
