Why I view Rihanna as my idol – Billie Eilish

By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

American singer Billie Eilish has described Rihanna as her greatest idol and dream collaborator, calling the Barbadian star “the greatest of all time.”

Eilish shared her love during a recent interview with Complex, where she reacted to Rihanna naming her as a dream collaboration.

The Grammy-winning artiste expressed her disbelief and excitement, saying she had always hoped to work with Rihanna.

“I have never met Rihanna. She is literally my idol. She is the greatest of all time. She’s my complete dream collaboration,” Eilish revealed.

Reacting to Rihanna’s comment, Eilish humorously questioned why the global superstar hadn’t already reached out to her.

“She said, ‘If only I could work with Billie.’ I was like, ‘Well, bitch, I’ve been sitting here this whole time! What the fuck is she even talking about?’ [Laughs.] Honestly. What do you mean, ‘If only’?! It’s, like, as if I’ve been saying, ‘No.’ Rihanna! Riri!? I’ll literally do anything you want. That’s insane,” Eilish said.
