This weekend, Billie Eilish and Armani White were both on the line-up for The Osheaga Music and Arts Festival, in Montreal, Quebec.

Last year, the Philadelphia-born rapper Armani White released his Neptunes-sampling track “BILLIE EILISH." which quickly went viral. Whilst Eilish herself has previously acknowledged the song, they've never performed it together until now.

Addressing her audience on Saturday night, Eilish said: “You know that song that’s like, ‘Glock tucked, big t-shirt, Billie Eilish?’ You know that song?” This led to White coming out on stage, and performing the track whilst Eilish danced along.

During an interview with Genius, White previously spoke about his admiration for Billie Eilish, and the trajcetory of her career. “I think Billie, what she is in her world, is what I aspire to be in my world, is just kind of like an anomaly," he said. "If it’s me for hip-hop, if it’s her for pop, or whatever it is, [the goal is] just to be in this world, but completely stand out from everybody else.”

Following the surprise performance, Armani White took to his socials to gush about the experience.

“BILLIE EILISH JUST BROUGHT ME OUT!!! Ohmyfuckingod," he said. “I have never heard that many people scream in my fucking life hahaha Billie Eilish has an army!!

Billie Eilish recently headlined Lollapalooza, and partnered with environmental non-profit Reverb for a solar powered set, in a bid to make festivals more sustainable.
