Pop musician Billie Eilish has apologised for a viral video of her mouthing an anti-Asian slur when she was "13 or 14”. On Monday, the Bad Guy hit-maker released a statement on her Instagram story addressing the clip, which sees a young Billie lip syncing along to a racist lyric in rapper Tyler, the Creator’s Fish. "This is something that i WANT to address because i’m being labeled something that i am not,” the 19-year-old Grammy winner wrote. "I am appalled and embarrassed and want to barf that i ever mouthed along to that word. "i not only believe in, but have always worked hard to use my platform to fight for inclusion, kindness, tolerance, equity and equality.
