A then 18-year-old Billie Eilish maybe wouldn’t have known better after muttering Eminem’s name during an interview
If your name pops up on an Eminem song, the chances are that he’s going to violate you.
We’ve seen diss tracks served to the likes of Mariah Carey, Will Smith, and Machine Gun Kelly, to name a few – with several lines hitting out at Diddy, which date as far back as 1996, but he wouldn’t go after someone less than half his age, would he?
Well, Billie Eilish made a comment back in 2020 confessing that she was ‘terrified’ of the rapper, and in response he muttered her name in one of his tracks.
In an interview with Noisey a couple of years ago, Eilish revealed one of her top fears as a kid was the real Slim Shady himself.
She said: “I was scared of Eminem. My whole life. Always. I, dude, terrified. That dude freaked the f**k out of me. Oh my God.”Alright, no one wants to get on the wrong side of the Without Me hitmaker, but saying you have a phobia of him might be a bit far, don’t you think? Although, she would have been 18 years old at the time, so a little bit of drama should be expected!
And of course, Eminem being Eminem came up with the best response – shouting out Eilish in a verse of one of his tunes.

In ‘Alfred’s Theme’, the lyrics read: “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 his response has since helped Eilish stop being so scared of him or simply made matters worse, who knows, but I think overall, you’d be happy with that!
Either way, fans of the musicians flocked to social media following the interview, with many finding it pretty hilarious.
Some even argued Eilish is way more scary than Eminem.

One YouTube user said: “All her music videos are creepy as hell and Eminem’s the one giving her nightmares ??!!!”
“She’s scarier than he is – he’s just brutally honest.. there’s a difference,” another wrote.
Others joked how Eminem typically responds to anyone who mentions him in the form of a lyric.
“Man Eminem hears and knows everything anyone has ever said about him, them puts them in his songs,” a user wrote.While a second commented: “And then Eminem proceeded to traumatise her further.”
