The family of the youngest Astroworld victim has criticized Kanye West over his “hurtful” comments towards Billie Eilish.
The grandparents of Ezra Blount, who died as a result of suffering critical injuries at Astroworld concert have reportedly criticised Kanye over what they call his “hurtful” comments.
“What an idiotic thing to say,” the 9-year-old’s grandfather Bernon told Rolling Stone.
Ezra’s grandmother Tericia backs Billie, saying that “West should instead be praising Eilish for her efforts to assist a fan who was struggling to breathe.
“I think it’s just crazy, and I hate to use that word, but I think it’s ridiculous,” she said of the rapper’s criticism of the singer.
“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.”
Bernon added: “That’s crazy that he wants someone to apologise for putting the welfare of someone else before their profits. That’s someone who needed their asthma pump. They could have lost their life, right then. This world is twisted, and we have to stop doing this.”
Tericia said she “totally commends” Eilish for having to “decency” to step in, adding: “I think what she did was wonderful, and I would love to tell her myself how brilliant and awesome she is for doing so.”
Agnesisika’s blog earlier on reported that West has threatened to pull out of headlining Coachella unless Eilish apologises to Travis Scott.
Eilish halted her performance so that the fan could access an inhaler. “Can we just grab one?” she asked a crew member. Another clip saw Eilish being met with cheers after saying: “I wait for people to be OK until I keep going.”
Her second remark was been interpreted by some to be a subtle criticism towards Scott, whose Astroworld 2021 headline show resulted in a fatal crowd crush that killed 10 fans and injured hundreds.
West took to Instagram last night (February 10) to ask Eilish to “apologise” to Travis Scott while sharing a screenshot of an article that accused her of “dissing” the latter artist at one of her recent shows.
West, who is headlining Coachella alongside Eilish and Harry Styles in April, wrote yesterday: “Come on Billie we love you please apologise to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives.
“Trav will be with me at Coachella but now I need Billie to apologise before I perform.”
Billie Eilish responded directly to the post, commenting that she “literally never said a thing about Travis”.
“I was just helping a fan,” she said.
