Billie Eilish Explains Her Unlikely Friendship With Drake: "[He's] the Nicest Dude"

During Billie's interview with Vanity Fair, the "when the party's over" singer spilled the beans on some of her hardest moments during the production of "Ocean Eyes," the most important thing to her at the moment, and her relationship history. However, fans were most shocked by her mentioning Drake as the most famous person in her contacts. Whaaat?

In the interview, Billie said: "Drake is, like, the nicest dude I’ve ever spoken to. I mean, I’ve only, like, texted him, but he’s so nice. Like, he does not need to be nice, you know what I mean? He’s at a level in his life where he doesn’t need to be nice, but he is, you know?" 

Obviously, fans were beside themselves — why was a 33-year-old man texting a 17-year-old? It was weird, but after a while, fans dropped it. Full interview, below.

If you didn't catch the March 2020 issue of Vogue, Billie was the covergirl, and let me tell you, her interview definitely did not disappoint. Along with filling in readers on her aspirations for next year (which includes voting!), she addressed the negative attention that Drake received for texting her late last year, blaming the internet for being too sensitive, and questioning those who reprimanded him — whom she claims are (ironically) often Trump supporters.

“The internet is such a stupid-ass mess right now... Everybody’s so sensitive. A grown man can’t be a fan of an artist? There are so many people that the internet should be more worried about. Like, you’re really going to say that Drake is creepy because he’s a fan of mine, and then you’re going to go vote for Trump? What the fuck is that shit?” she said.

While Billie's explanation gives a number of worried fans peace of mind, several Twitter users are still uncomfortable that Drake and Billie text each other.

Mentors are often older than their mentees, and while any kind of friendship between a 33-year-old and a 18-year-old is somewhat uncommon, others are comforted by the fact that they're simply fans of each other's music.

Although Drake is often under fire for texting younger women, he might simply respect them as artists. It's certainly odd, though, so watch out, Drake — we have our eyes on you.
