Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas defended her against a Tik Tok who called his verse on Charli XCX’s Guess remix ‘predatory.’
A social media user with the username @windows199x reproduced a snippet of Billie, 22,’s verse and added a lengthy caption.
“Billie’s verse on Guess is highly predatory but you guys are blinded by her usual sexual bait for commercial gain,” the person wrote.
It added: ‘Since the Lost Cause controversy, she’s been reducing girls to mere objects, all in an effort to convince the masses that she’s actually interested in them. Charli is 32 and engaged, FYI.’
Finneas, 27, responded by writing in the comments: “What a comment you clown. I had to watch the entire internet criticize my sister for gay-baiting for a whole year when in reality you were all forcing her to label herself and reveal her sexual orientation.”

The user deleted the comment, prompting someone to write: “you deleted finneas’ comment because you KNOW he’s right. Seriously, calm down and grow up.”
Another person echoed the sentiment, adding: “Okay bro, he deleted Finneas’ comment because he knows Finneas is right. All you post here is hate dude. Grow up and find something else to do.”
Billie and Charli delighted fans with the release of their provocative collaboration on Thursday.
The video shows a house party filled with lingerie, with Eilish making a dramatic entrance by riding in a tractor.
The Ocean Eyes hitmaker raps on the Guess remix: ‘I wanna taste it, bite it, lick it, spit it / Throw it aside and get in it / Kiss it, bite it, can I get in it? / Charli likes boys, but she know I’d give it to her.’
Another fan came to Eilish’s defense, saying, “If Charli didn’t agree with Billie’s verse, she would have never posted it.”
And following the song’s release, fans online claimed the “iconic” tune was “life-changing” and “history-making” as they took to YouTube and X to express their excitement.
“Charli and Billie just served dinner and we all ATE,” one follower exclaimed.
“Billie’s verse on Guess is highly predatory but you guys are blinded by her usual sexual bait for commercial gain,” the person wrote.
The Bad Guy singer-songwriter faced similar accusations of “queerbaiting” (using same-sex elements to pander to the LGBTQ+ community) in 2021 for performing a sensual display with women in her music video Lost Cause.
At the time, she had not publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ community.
However, in November 2023, however, she revealed to Variety who is attracted to women.
She later accused the outlet of “outing” her.
Responding to the buzz surrounding her sexuality, she wrote on Instagram: “I like boys and girls. Leave me alone with that please,” adding: “Who cares.”
Finneas, 27, responded to the critic, writing in the comments: “What a comment you little clown” – the brothers are pictured in February.
The user deleted Finneas’ comment, prompting someone to write: “you deleted finneas’ comment because you KNOW he’s right. Seriously, calm down and grow up.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone in April, Billie doubled down on her efforts.
“I’ve had crushes on girls my whole life, but I just didn’t understand it, until last year I realized I wanted my face in a vagina,” he said in the story.
Elsewhere in the profile, she noted: “Who cares? Suddenly the whole world decided who I was and I couldn’t say anything or control anything.”
‘No one should feel pressured to be one thing or another, and I think there are a lot of labels that want to be everywhere.
“Man, I’ve met people who don’t know about their sexuality, or aren’t comfortable with it, until they’re in their forties, fifties, sixties. It takes a while to figure yourself out, and I think it’s really unfair the way the Internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you’re all about,” he shared.
