Calling him out!
Billie Eilish seemingly shaded Travis Scott and his recent Astroworld Festival disaster during a concert performance over the weekend.
Without naming names, the 20-year-old songstress appeared to call out Scott, who was performing on stage when hundreds of people screamed for help during a chaotic crowd surge in the middle of his concert. As OK! reported, hundreds of people were injured and ten concertgoers died in the tragic November 2021 incident.
During Eilish's performance at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Sunday, February 6, she noticed an audience member who appeared to need medical attention, causing her to temporarily halt the show.
As reported by Daily Mail, Eilish stopped performing and asked medical staff to help the distressed fan. She also requested that others in the area step back while the individual regained composure.

She stated, "I wait for people to be OK before I keep going," which seemed to be a dig at the "SICKO MODE" rapper, who has since been hit with backlash for not doing more to stop the horrific event. According to the outlet, the crowd began roaring with cheers in response to Eilish's statement.
Not only has Scott been slammed with multiple lawsuits following the deadly concert, but he's also been removed from multiple brand deals and partnerships in the midst of the controversy. While the Cactus Jack founder insisted he was not aware of the "severity of the situation" at the time, many still believe he was responsible to act once it was apparent something was wrong in the audience.
The "Happier Than Ever" singer's shade towards Scott came just days after the rapper, 30, welcomed his second child with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder — who gave birth last Wednesday, February 2 — announced the news via Instagram on Sunday evening with a sweet photo captioned, "2/2/22." The power couple's new baby was born one day after the pair's toddler, Stormi, turned 4-years-old.
Jenner added a blue heart emoji in the caption, seemingly confirming that her new bundle of joy is a bouncing baby boy. Scott added fuel to the fire by commenting one blue heart emoji along with a series of brown hearts.
