The Native American tribe whose ancestral land includes Billie Eilish’s Los Angeles mansion has something to say about her Grammys virtue signaling, when the singer declared, “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
“As the First People of the greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand that her home is situated in our ancestral land,” a spokesperson for the Tongva tribe told The Daily Mail, noting that the singer had not yet reached out regarding the ownership rights of her $3 million Hollywood Hills home.
“Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property… we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” the spokesperson went on. “It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory.”
The 24-year-old singer has been mocked and called a hypocrite ever since spouting her leftist talking points during the awards show on Sunday night.
“As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land,” Eilish said from the stage as fellow celebrities cheered and nodded in the crowd.
“’F*ck ICE’ is what I wanna say,” she added.
Social media commenters have been pointing out the hypocrisy of Eilish’s statements.
“You cannot simultaneously believe that (1) all borders are fake and should not be policed, and (2) that land can be ‘stolen.’ This is one of the most braindead beliefs a person can hold,” one person posted on X.
“Oh, gee, this ‘stolen land’ nonsense again? Maybe she should step up and forfeit her Southern California mansion since it is supposedly on ‘stolen land,’” Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis shared.
This isn’t the first time Eilish voiced opinions that got her mocked. In November, the singer called Elon Musk a “f*cking pathetic p*ssy b*tch coward” for not giving away more of his money to her preferred causes.
“If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties,” she said at the time.
