Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong slammed for dissing Ariana Grande to praise Billie Eilish

ARIANA Grande fans slammed Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong after he dissed the pop star in a new interview.

The frontman, 47, took a jab at the 26-year-old while praising Billie Eilish for her huge win at the Grammys.

He was called out for not passing the “vibe check” in which “we don’t bring down other girls in 2020.”

While chatting with USA Today, Billie Joe, who has spoken about being an Eilish fan previously, was asked about the 18-year-old’s sweep at the 2020 Grammy Awards.

The rocker said: “I'm stoked for her and Finneas [O'Connell, her producer brother]. It's insanely well-deserved.

“Their music is very real, and you can tell it all comes from them, which is what sets it apart from what other pop acts are doing.

“It's not even comparable to think about what she does compared to someone like Ariana Grande. She's the real deal.”

His response congratulating Billie on her five wins started out well, but then he threw Ariana, who won zero awards at the show, into the mix.

One upset social media user tweeted: “Classic men behaviour: uplift a woman by bashing another woman.”

That notion was seconded by another: “Stop comparing two successful n talented women, Ariana n Billie love each other we don't care about an unknown man's opinion.

“Such clown he's looking for clout obv das all.”

Another simply wrote: “Who even asked? Tf out with that energy.”

A fourth tried to explain to the Green Day singer: “We celebrate ALL music and ALL artists as well as their awards no matter what.”

The American Idiot singer claims to be a big Billie Eilish fan, but the 18-year-old singer herself is a big fan of Ariana’s and even said during the Grammys that she should’ve won Album of the Year.

During her acceptance speech, she said: “Can I just say I think Ariana deserves this. Thank U Next got me through some sh*t. I think it deserves more than anything in the world, I love you so much.”

Billie has not yet responded to Billie Joe’s comments.
