Ye says he won't perform at this year's Coachella festival, which he is set to headline, unless Billie Eilish apologizes to Travis Scott, whom she appeared to allude to during her concert Saturday.

Eilish noticed a fan in the crowd at her "Happier Than Ever" tour in Atlanta was distressed and brought the show to a halt so her crew could bring the fan an inhaler, Insider previously reported.

"Do you need to come out, or are you OK? Are you sure?" Eilish asked before mouthing "I love you," videos showed.

In another video published by TMZ, Eilish could be heard telling the audience, "I wait for people to be OK until I keep going."

In response to Eilish's remarks, Ye, who changed his name from Kanye West, posted on Instagram asking Eilish to apologize to Scott and saying he wouldn't perform at Coachella unless she did. Ye seemed to believe Eilish had been dissing Scott, who continued to perform during a deathly crowd crush at his Astroworld Festival in August. Ten people died during the concert as attendees surged toward the stage.

"Come on Billie we love you please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives," Ye said in an Instagram post Thursday.

Ye argued in his post that Scott "didn't have any idea of what was happening" when he was performing.

He then added that Scott would be with him when he headlined Coachella in April but he needed "Billie to apologize before I perform."

Less than two hours later, Eilish replied to Ye's Instagram post with her own comment, emphasizing that she didn't mention Scott's name during her concert.

"Literally never said a thing about Travis," the singer wrote. "Was just helping a fan."
