Eminem has a brilliant response to Billie Eilish after he found out she was 'terrified' of him.
Billie Eilish once revealed that she has been 'scared' and 'terrified' of Eminem her 'whole life'.
It goes back to 2019, when Eilish was asked to choose between Eminem and Childish Gambino.

Surprisingly, she chose Childish Gambino, and said: “I have to say Childish Gambino, one billion percent.”
Eilish continued: “I was scared of Eminem my whole life. Terrified. That dude freaked the f**k out of me.
"Oh my god. But you know, Childish Gambino created me dude. I don’t even know, that’s crazy, that’s a god you can’t even put him in a list of other people.”

It is understandable to be afraid of spiders, heights, or that pure evil penguin from Wallace & Gromit, but, Eminem - the mass popular American rapper.
Gulp!
However, it wasn't really her choice as Eminem decided that he was going to let the singer know he'd heard what she said about him.
In his deluxe version of the album Music to be Murdered By, which is already a cheery enough title, he dropped in a lyric about how scary Eilish had found him.

In the song 'Alfred's Theme', he sang: "Homicidal visions when I’m spitting like this.
"But really I'm just fulfilling my wish of killing rhymes which is really childish.
"And silly, but I'm really like this, I'm giving nightmares to Billie Eilish."

Whether or not she's still scared of Eminem after that lyrical treatment, she joined in with the standing ovation he received at the 2020 Academy Awards ceremony, so she's clearly an admirer of his impressive catalogue of work.
As for what the pair are up to now, Eilish is going from strength to strength in a career which would be incredibly impressive for a musician on the cusp of retirement, never mind one with years of success ahead of her.
Last year, she became the youngest ever Glastonbury headliner and she can add it to her already long list of accolades and reasons to have earned some well-deserved praise.
The 50-year-old rap artist was recently spotted at a private event in Los Angeles to celebrate Jimmy Iovine's 70th birthday.

Eminem made a rare appearance in a casual look after he filed an opposition against a trademark application filed by Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon for their Reasonably Shady podcast earlier this year.
