Billie Eilish revealed that she has never interacted directly with Rihanna. This makes her hesitant to express her desire to collaborate, as she worries that her hopes are too high and might be perceived as arrogant, considering that Rihanna is a much bigger figure and Billie feels she is not yet well-known by her idol.

"I have never even answered the question, 'Who would you like to collaborate with?' But I always think about Rihanna. However, I wouldn't say that! She might not like me. I have never interacted with her, so why should I think about that?" Eilish expressed.

3. Rihanna's Response

Rihanna also responded regarding the possibility of the collaboration. The UMBRELLA singer praised Billie Eilish and expressed her desire to work together on releasing a song. Upon hearing that statement, Billie was very surprised and responded on Instagram Stories.

"What is this?" wrote Eilish on Instagram in disbelief.

A few weeks later, the singer popular for the song BIRDS OF A FEATHER also stated that she finds the whole past incident very funny.

"I feel like, ''Wow, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!'' What does that mean? As if I've said, ''No. Rihanna! Riri!? I will do anything you want,''" revealed Billie Eilish.
