Billie Eilish's older brother Finneas shot down a remark from a TikTok creator who said that the 22-year-old's verse on Charli XCX's Guess is predatory.
In a TikTok posted on Friday, August 22, a user wrote that "Billie's verse on Guess is high key predatory," and further accused the What Was I Made For singer of "queerbaiting." Finneas's takedown occurred in the comment section where he wrote a scathing remark in defense of his sister.
"What a take you little clown. I got to watch the entire internet slam my sister for queer-baiting for an entire year when in reality, you were all forcing her to label and out herself."
Trending
A copy of the singer-producer's response made rounds on social media and fans also hopped on in defense of Billie Eilish. Some netizens mentioned that her verse was approved by Charli XCX since it's her song in the first place.
"Charli obviously wouldn't have released the song if she was uncomfortable about anything Billie said," a fan on X wrote.
"No exactly, do people not realize that Charli would've listened to the verse first and given her approval for it," another X user mentioned.
"Do people not realize that it's Charli's song? If she was uncomfortable, it would never see the light of day," another one wrote.
Other fans also approved of Finneas defending Billie Eilish online and for being a "protective" older brother to the singer.
All the times Finneas came to Billie Eilish's defense
The singer-songwriter and record producer's latest remark on TikTok isn't the first time he came to Billie Eilish's defense. He's been known as a supportive older brother, not only professionally in writing songs with Billie but also in defending her against online trolls.
He famously came to support the Hit Me Hard and Soft singer in 2023 after she received a lot of criticism for her relationship with Jesse Rutherford, The Neighborhood frontman, who is ten years her senior. Finneas didn't allow any unsolicited comments that were disrespectful of her sister's relationship.
In the comments section of a December 26 TikTok video slamming Billie for dating a 31-year-old man, he made it incredibly clear that he has no problems with Billie and Jesse being together, writing:
"I want my sister to be happy and secure, and she is a 21-year-old adult who is completely capable of making her own life decisions."
He also called out a now-deleted X account by the name of "BillieUpdatesss" in 2021 for posting lies about her younger sister. The singer-producer also told The Sunday Times that same year about protecting Billie, saying that with the help of the team they trust and their parents, he always tries to "help facilitate the safest environment" for the Ocean Eyes hitmaker.
