It looks like Ye will be bringing along embattled rapper Travis Scott for his 2022 Coachella performances, that is if he gets an apology from singer Billie Eilish first. It's all over comments Eilish made this past weekend when she stopped her show for a fan, and commented, "I wait for people to be okay before I keep going,” an obvious reference to the tragedy at Scott's 2021 Astroworld Festival in Houston.

In a new post on Instagram, Ye addressed Eilish's comments at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Saturday night when she stopped her show when she noticed a female fan getting crushed in the pit. In his caption, Ye said that he planned on performing with Scott at the upcoming festival, and then laid out his demands from Eilish in all caps.
"COME ON BILLIE WE LOVE YOU PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO TRAV AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES NO ONE INTENDED THIS TO HAPPEN TRAV DIDN’T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN HE WAS ON STAGE AND WAS VERY HURT BY WHAT HAPPENED AND YES TRAV WILL BE WITH ME AT COACHELLA BUT NOW I NEED BILLIE TO APOLOGIZE BEFORE I PERFORM," Ye said.

While fan comments on Ye's (formerly Kanye West) post are both for and against his stance, Billie made her position clear, commenting, “Literally never said a thing about Travis. Was just helping a fan.”
Ye is said to be working on part two of his 2021 DONDA album, while Eilish is hoping to grab an Oscar with her brother FINNEAS for their James Bond theme.
