Uh oh! It looks like Billie Eilish's brother, Finneas O'Connell, is in hot water after sending out a tweet that has sparked some major backlash about nepotism and privilege.
Uh oh! It looks like Billie Eilish's brother, Finneas O'Connell, is in hot water after sending out a tweet that has sparked some major backlash about nepotism and privilege.
She made Grammy's history this year at just 18 years old. So, yeah, she's kind of a big deal.
She is the youngest solo performer to ever win album of the year. Up until last night, the record holder had been Taylor Swift, who won best album at age of 20 for "Fearless."
She historically won Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the year and Best New Artist all at the same show!
As she also mentioned at the Grammy's, she and Finneas have been collaborating on her music for ages — he is a significant cog in the Billie Eilish machine.
I should mention that while, yes, he and Billie have become successful in the music business, they didn't exactly start at the bottom of the ladder.
So, Finneas' tweet was not received well by the general public, to say the least.
“'Shooting your shot' is promoted widely and I think honestly, it’s a little overrated."
"Make [expletive] so good it speaks for itself. Don’t pester people to work with you, let them come to you," he concluded.
Fans slammed Finneas for sounding pretentious and privileged.
Sadly, that is not the case for every aspiring musician.
If you want something, you have to go get it! Don't wait for it to fall into your lap by chance.
If only we could all be so lucky...
This is impressive, not gonna lie. It takes a lot of courage to admit you were wrong, especially on Twitter to nearly 300,000 followers.
Fans praised him for taking the time to apologize to anyone he may have offended with his original statement.
