Everyone has fears—some people are scared of spiders, others of heights. But Billie Eilish? She’s terrified of Eminem.
The Birds of a Feather singer first admitted her unusual fear in an interview with Noisey, saying:
🔹 “I was scared of Eminem. My whole life. Always. I, dude, terrified. That dude freaked the f**k out of me. Oh my God.”
While most people wouldn’t want to get on Slim Shady’s bad side, calling him outright terrifying definitely raised a few eyebrows.
Eminem Claps Back—Through a Song, Of Course
Once Eminem caught wind of Eilish’s fear, he didn’t respond in an interview or on social media. Instead, he did what only Eminem would do—he put it into a rap verse.
In his song “Alfred’s Theme”, he addressed Eilish directly, rapping:
🔹 “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.”
Classic Slim Shady.
Fans Weigh In: “Wait, Billie’s Scared of HIM?”
The internet found the whole situation hilarious, with many fans pointing out the irony.
🔹 “All her music videos are creepy as hell, and Eminem’s the one giving her nightmares??!!!”
Others joked that Billie’s dark, eerie aesthetic makes her more terrifying than Em.
Can Billie Overcome Her Eminem Phobia?
At this point, it’s unclear if Eminem’s playful response helped ease Eilish’s fears—or made them worse. But who knows? Maybe a future collab could turn that fear into admiration.
