Grammy-winning singer Billie Eilish thinks age isn't anything but a number. The popular crooner has come forward to defend her relationship with OVO Sound boss Drake.
Big Facts: In a new interview, Eilish – who turned 18 in December 2019 – spoke up for their friendship and called out the Internet for making a big deal out of them having a texting bond.
Last fall she did create a minor media kerfuffle when she revealed that she and Drake, 15 years her senior, had been texting. The situation still rankles her. “The internet is such a stupid-ass mess right now,” says Eilish, who quit Twitter in 2018. “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 f*ck is that sh*t?” (Vogue)
High-Key Details: In 2019, Billie revealed they had a low-key texting relationship.

Wait, There’s More: In January 2020, Eilish took over the Grammys with a heart-pounding performance.
Before You Go: Eilish also took home the “Song of the Year” award for her “Bad Guy” anthem.
