Bryce Hall slammed Billie Eilish for what he described as elitism, after a clip of the Grammy-winning artist surfaced in which she appeared to be irked by the presence of TikTok stars at Sunday’s People’s Choice Awards.
In a clip circulating online, the singer-songwriter, 22, had been in a chat with fellow singer Kylie Minogue, 55, when she appeared to mouth the words, ‘I’m like, there’s some … TikTokers here.’
On Monday, Hall, a 24-year-old TikTok influencer, took to the platform to respond to the perceived slight stemming from Sunday’s event at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
‘I’m just going to address this clip of Billie Eilish being disgusted by TikTokers that were at the People’s Choice,’ he said. ‘I was one of them.’
The Ellicott City, Maryland native continued, ‘First off, Billie Eilish, I’m so sorry that I didn’t acknowledge your greatness and bow down to you being another human being.’
