The grandparents of Astroworld's youngest victim have said that Kanye West is "ridiculous" for telling Billie Eilish to apologize to Travis Scott.
Earlier this week, the 'Gold Digger' rapper, 44, took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a post from a hip hop news account on the app.
In the caption, Kanye urged Billie to apologize after apparently throwing shade at Travis in the middle of her concert for the way he handled the deadly November crowd surge at his Astroworld festival.
Eilish was praised for her actions earlier this week, with many fans and media outlets assuming the 20-year-old's comments to be a sly dig at Travis.
According to the outlet, she indirectly shaded Travis for supposedly not waiting for his fans "to be okay" before continuing his concert in November, which saw 10 young people die following a crowd surge.
Following this, West posted a screenshot of an Instagram post that claimed Eilish was dissing the rapper and in the caption demanded the 'Bad Guy' singer apologize to Scott or he wouldn't perform at Coachella.
The grandparents of nine-year-old Ezra Blount, who lost his life after sustaining injuries during the Astroworld tragedy last year, told Rolling Stone that the rapper should be praising Eilish not criticizing her.
"To hear Kanye's words, that's hurtful to us. What an idiotic thing to say," Ezra's grandfather Bernon Blount said.
"That's crazy that he wants someone to apologize for putting the welfare of someone else before their profits. That's someone who needed their asthma pump. They could have lost their life, right then. This world is twisted, and we have to stop doing this."
Meanwhile, Tericia Blount said: "I think it's just crazy, and I hate to use that word, but I think it's ridiculous. She's making sure that she is caring for the patrons at her concert, and I just think that's crazy of Kanye to even let that demand come out of his mouth.
"I totally commend Billie Eilish for having that decency about her. I think what she did was wonderful, and I would love to tell her myself how brilliant and awesome she is for doing so."
Less than two hours after West's post, Eilish commented: "Literally never said a thing about Travis. Was just helping a fan."
