Billie Eilish responded to Kanye West after he demanded she apologize to Travis Scott.
The feud started when Eilish, 20, stopped a concert over the weekend when she saw a fan in the audience who needed medical assistance.
"We’re taking care of our people," the singer said in a video shared by a concertgoer at the Atlanta show. "I wait for people to be OK, until I keep going."
West, 44, took it upon himself to reach out to Eilish on Instagram to tell her she owed an apology to Scott. While Eilish made no mention of the "Astroworld" rapper, West seemed to think her helping out a fan in distress was a slight at his estranged-wife's little sister's boyfriend.

During the headliner’s performance, a crowd surge made conditions at the outdoor venue dangerously crowded leading to trampling and other life-threatening situations.

The rapper broke his silence for the first time in December in a nearly one-hour-long interview with Charlamagne Tha God. As he had done through his representatives, Scott, 30, maintained that he didn’t know what was happening until well after the concert had ended.
"I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference [after my set]," the rapper claimed. "And even at that moment, you’re like, ‘Wait, what?’
