Billie Eilish is using her voice to call out racist double standards in the music industry. She reportedly said "Look, if I wasn't white I would probably be in rap. Why? They just judge from what you look like and what they know.” What else is on the Grammy Award winners mind? Let’s find out
- In a recent interview with British GQ, the "Bad Guy" singer criticized the industry for labeling white artists' music as pop and Black artists' music as rap or R&B — an issue Tyler, the creator also addressed at this year's Grammys. "It sucks that whenever we — and I mean guys that look like me — do anything that's genre-bending or that's anything they always put it in a rap or urban category," Tyler said at the time.
- "I don't like that 'urban' word — it's just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me." "I have always hated categories," Billie told GQ. "I hate when people say, 'Oh, you look like blank. You sound like blank.' It was such a cool thing Tyler said. I agree with him about that term."
"Don't judge an artist off the way someone looks or the way someone dresses," she continued. Eilish is well-known for being relatable but also standing up for what is right. What do you think about the Pop Stars comment? Let us know below.
