Fans call out Drake (33) for texting 17-year-old Billie Eilish

Cape Town – Fans are calling Drake out for texting 17-year-old Billie Eilish.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, she recently responded to a question asking who the most famous person in her phone is. Going through her phone, she found Drake and said, "Drake is like, the nicest dude I've ever spoken to. I mean, I've only like texted him, but he's so nice. 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?"

But fans didn't quite agree with the bad guy singer.

"Why is Drake talking to Billie Eilish?" asked one user on Twitter, another commented, "How many teenage girls is this man texting?"

Many called the whole situation "creepy" while pointing out this isn't the first time too. One user commented, "Millie Bobby Brown and now Billie Eilish are two underage girls who say Drake (a whole 32-years-old) texts them. This is troublesome. Something we should maybe sit up/pay attention to. Like... now. As opposed to later when we usually do, lamenting 'we should have paid attention'."

Drake, who is actually 33 now, received backlash in 2018 when Millie Bobby Brown who was 14 years old at the time, revealed the two text back and forth.

"He invited me to his concert. And now we talk all the time. I ask his advice," she said, revealing he talks to her about boys.

"We just texted each other the other day, and he was like 'I miss you so much,' and I was like 'I miss you more,' he's great," Millie said.

Drake is currently rumoured to be dating 22-year-old Kylie Jenner
