Billie Eilish had stopped her concert mid-way after one from the audience had difficulty in breathing during her concert in Atlanta, USA on Saturday. Eilish’s act triggered Kanye West with the latter considering it as a ‘dig’ on Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert that was held in November last year. West, on Thursday, demanded Eilish to apologise to Scott who has two children with West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s sister Kylie Jenner.
Calling Kanye West’s demand as ‘Ridiculous’, Ezra’s grandfather Bernon said, “To hear Kanye’s words, that’s hurtful to us. What an idiotic thing to say.” Bernon’s wife and deceased Ezra’s grandmother, Tericia added that instead of lashing out at Billie Eilish, Kanye West should have rather appreciated her move. “I think it’s just crazy, and I hate to use that word, but I think it’s ridiculous,” she said further adding, “She’s making sure that she is caring for the patrons at her concert, and I just think that’s crazy of Kanye to even let that demand come out of his mouth.”
