Billie Eilish is no longer afraid of Eminem. Should we expect a collaboration?
Billie Eilish, fresh off announcing her new album “Hit Me Hard And Soft,” Eilish did a surprise DJ set on one of Coachella’s smaller stages this Saturday. She previewed a handful of new songs from her upcoming album. Se also surprised the crowd by including none other than Eminem’s iconic track “Lose Yourself” in his mix.
This is an important moment considering Billie’s past confessions. A few years ago, Eilish revealed in an interview that one of her biggest fears as a child was Slim Shady. She admitted: “I was afraid of Eminem. All my life. Always“.
Well, it seems those fears are a thing of the past. Today, Billie confidently presents Em’s music on a stage meant for her.
Of course, since that first interview, Eminem has come up with an answer – shouting out Eilish in a verse of one of his songs.
In “Alfred’s Theme” from “Music to Be Murdered By”, the lyrics say: “Murderous visions when I spit like that / But really I’m just fulfilling my wish to kill rhymes that’s really childish / And stupid, but I’m really like that, giving Billie Eilish nightmares.”
Has his response since helped Eilish stop being so afraid of him? Who knows. But now Billie is playing her music at her party and it just feels great. Speculation is rife that Billie’s newfound affluence may be due to a secret collaboration with Slim Shady on his next album. Is a groundbreaking Eminem-Billie track on the horizon?
Although there is no concrete proof, the timing is interesting. Furthermore, the potential of this collaboration is enormous. Imagine Billie’s haunting vocals meeting Eminem’s sharp rhymes – it could be explosive!
