The rise of TikTokers in Hollywood has both been a blessing and a boon. And it turns out that Billie Eilish feels the same way.
At the recent People’s Choice Awards, the singer was recorded passing a shady comment on Tiktokers. Here’s what she said, and how famous TikToker Bryce Hall reacted.
Billie Eilish Shades TikTokers
The fame surrounding TikTokers has been a topic of debate for a long time. Do they deserve that fame? Do they deserve to be at prestigious award shows that celebrate people from the industry who are massively talented and work extremely hard? What do they exactly do? The questions are endless.
One such debate was revived by Billie Eilish, who is known for speaking her mind, as she attended the People’s Choice Awards and at one point seemed to tell Kylie Minogue, “I’m confused…This event is like a who’s who event…Yikes. There’s some like… TikTokers here like… Why were they even invited?”

It’s clear what the nature of the comment was, and fans were quick to choose sides in the debate.
On one hand many supported the singer and shared similar views on how TikTokers who basically just make videos on social media are being invited to these prestigious events; while many seemed to think that it’s rude of Eilish to pass that comment, seeing as how her own music owes it’s success to Tiktokers who made it viral.
i believe tiktokers should just stay in tiktok if they’re not really contributing something like if their content or brand is just their life and actually no talent at all, they shouldn’t co-exist with people making art or whatever. yes i agree with billie eilish

Bryce Hall Reacts To Billie Eilish’s Comment
Popular TikToker Bryce Hall went on a long rant in response to Eilish’s comment. He started by saying, “I’m just going to address this clip of Billie Eilish being disgusted that TikTokers were at the People’s Choice. I was one of them. First off, Billie Eilish, I am so sorry that I didn’t acknowledge your greatness and bow down to you being another human being.”
He then bows down in front of the camera, in a satirical manner and adds, “and second, People’s Choice invited us. Personally. Everyone that attended People’s Choice and were sitting at those tables, we were invited by People’s Choice. So, hate on them.”
“The most sad thing…The most sad thing is I was a Billie Eilish stan. I stanned you. And now, I don’t think I can renegade to any of your songs anymore. So thanks for taking out all my content.”
Various people came forward to condemn Bryce for apparently comparing himself to Billie.

Billie has not yet responded to Bryce’s video. Until then, it seems the singer and the TikToker are in a feud.
