However, Eilish 17, was being interviewed by Vanity Fair when she said the artist, 33, is “the nicest dude she's ever spoken to”.
“I’ve only like texted him, but he’s so nice,” she said. “Like, he does not need to be nice, you know what I mean? He’s at a level in his life where he doesn’t need to be nice, but he is, you know?”
Billie Eilish just said in her vanity fair video that Drake is the nicest person ever and she has only talked to him through text. I am sorry but after news came out a while ago that 33 year old drake was texting 14 year old Millie Bobby Brown, this is creepy as hell.

Eilish's views about their interaction relays something positive however, some of her fans have a different opinion, given that in 2018, Drake was criticised for regularly texting “I miss you” to Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, when she was just 14.
Nevertheless, Brown also claimed the rapper only gives her advice on boys.

“Does anyone else think it’s strange that Drake just has Billie Eilish and Millie Bobby Brown’s numbers?” one tweeter asked.
“It’s definitely possible he’s just being a role model and it has to do with marketing, but why’s a 32-year-old man texting girls under the age of 17?”
That isn’t business or collaboration just as much as taking pics, going to concerts with, etc a 16 year old model at the time. Then continue to take more romantic/suggestive pics with this teen until not long after she turned 18 when you both then denied dating rumors. pic.twitter.com/CUlFLk2WRo

Another added: “I don’t blame Billie Eilish one bit for thinking it’s cool that Drake wants to be her friend. I loved it when I was 17 and adult men wanted to know me. “It’s only in hindsight that I found it weird, and it’s really on adults to interrogate what ‘being nice’ actually means here.”

While one commented that his song Child's Play could actually be hinting at a possible pedophilia.

However some claimed that he was only befriending her for a possible collaboration and nothing else.
