As of late, Lil Yachty recently shouted out Billie Eilish in one of his songs with Drake titled “Another Late Night”.

In the song, Drake calls out the “weirdos” commenting on his relationship with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.

Halfway through the track, Lil Yachty poked fun at his friend Billie’s curves and other parts of her body.

Billie later responded to the jest during an interview with Variety.

Eilish, 21, has spoken publicly about choosing to hide her body with baggy clothes for years at the beginning of her career, but she didn’t mind Yachty’s playful lyric.

“I think it’s fun!” the Grammy winner told Variety for the outlet’s The Power of Women issue. “I’m flattered! Yachty is my friend. Drake is my friend.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Eilish opened up about her previous choice not to show off her body. “I wasn’t trying to have people not sexualize me,” she said.

“But I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually. I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything,” continued the “What Was I Made For?” performer.

Users can now experience the new features on Instagram as of today.
