One video shows Eilish singing along to Tyler, the Creator’s song, “Fish,” which uses the anti-Asian slur “ch***.” TikTokers claim the other video shows Eilish making fun of accents. Eilish took to Instagram Stories to explain the latter video and apologize for the former.
“i love you guys, and many of you have been asking me to address this. And this is something that i WANT to address because I’m being labeled something that i am not,” the statement began. Eilish went on to write that when she mouthed the slur in “Fish,” she didn’t know it was derogatory. “this song was the only time i’d ever heard that word as it was never used around me by anyone in my family,” she wrote.
