Billie Eilish's Brother Finneas O'Connell Issues Warning To Fans After Grammy Snub

Billie Eilish's brother and longtime producer, Finneas O'Connell, posted a message to his fans soon after the 2025 Grammy Awards ended, urging them not to confront any other artists' fanbase.

Finneas's warning came after he and Eilish failed to win in their nominated categories.

The producer, mindful of the heated conversations such outcomes can cause, felt it was necessary to remind his fans to remain peaceful.

Eilish had a hugely successful year following the release of her third studio album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft." She also had one of the best songs of the year, "Birds of a Feather."

Hence, her fans were certain she would win at least one Grammy to add to the nine she has already won.

However, Eilish, who was nominated for seven categories at the just concluded Grammys, faced stiff competition from other artists and won no award.

However, the serial winner didn't look fazed and was seen cheering on the winners.

Following Eilish's Grammy snub, her brother and collaborator, Finneas, who shared four of her nominations, took to his Instagram Stories soon after the Awards ceremony ended to make one request to fans.

"Great grammys!!!" he began. "So honored to have been nominated amongst so many amazing songs/albums."

Finneas warned his fans, "I don't wanna see ANYONE with a photo of me or Billie as their PFP gettin' in fights with other artists' fans in comment sections!!!"

He concluded, "Be at peace! Congratulations to all!!"

Pop Base reposted Finneas's message to fans on X, and many people took turns sharing their thoughts about it.

Some fans felt his warning was unnecessary because many people didn't know him or have him as their profile picture.

One person wrote, "My guy think people stan him."

Another person wrote, "Don't worry, no one is using your pic as pfp bro."

A third X user added, "Nobody has him as their pfp."

A fourth person shared, "his sister sure but I've never seen a Finneas pfp besides his own. I'm crying."

However, other fans supported FINNEAS's message and lauded him for speaking about it.

One person wrote, "Nice reminder, respect the artist's wishes."

Another fan added, "Finneas spreading love and positivity after the Grammys. His message is a great reminder that music is about unity and respect, not drama and division. Kudos to Finneas for promoting kindness and good vibes."

A third person commended FINNEAS, writing, "He knows how ruthless and crazy stans get on social media. Good for him for speaking on it."

Another X user shared, "He is right and he should say it. Billie can get another awards later."

A fifth fan pleaded, "Finneas is absolutely right—let's keep the fan wars to a minimum and spread good vibes instead!"

Despite not winning an award at the 2025 Grammys, Finneas and Billie Eilish treated the audience to a heartwarming performance of "Birds of a Feather." The siblings dedicated their performance to their hometown of Los Angeles, which endured tragedy in January after massive wildfires ravaged it.

As they performed, a majestic mountain landscape was projected on the screen behind them, which was probably a representation of LA's iconic canyons. At the end of her performance, Eilish, who also performed at the FireAid wildfire benefit concert last week, said, "I love you LA."

Meanwhile, Los Angeles firefighters attended the 2025 Grammy Awards, and the Recording Academy paid tribute to them via a post on Instagram. They shared a group picture of the first responders along with the caption, "Much love for our brave first responders. This year's Grammy Awards honors music while raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts.

Many fans reacted to the post by praising the firefighters for their efforts in battling the massive infernos, with some describing them as "The real heroes."

One fan wrote, "The real heroes! Nobody braver, nobody stronger, than our first responders," while another fan added, "They're all beautiful, a lot of strength to them." Others commented with red heart, fire, and flower emojis in recognition of the firefighters' efforts.
