Billie Eilish once lost 100,000 followers in the space of just one hour, after posting a photo on Instagram.

Billie, 22, took part in a 'post a picture' challenge on social media back in 2020, but followers were quite shocked over the nature of the image she shared.

The singer rose to fame when she was just 14 years old with her debut single 'Ocean Eyes', written and produced by her brother, Finneas O'Connell.

Her first studio project When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? rocketed to number one in the US and UK charts, gaining the title as one of 2019's best-selling albums.

Billie currently has 119 million followers on Instagram, but a few years ago, she lost tens of thousands of followers in the space of an hour.

It happened when Billie shared a photo of a drawing she was proud of on Instagram, as per a fan's request.

The image consisted of different naked drawings, as well as some snakes.

“These probably lol I love boobs," she wrote in the caption.

Despite the sketch simply portraying the naked female body, people managed to take serious offence, and around 100,000 of her followers decided to unfollow her.

One follower quickly noticed the drop in Billie's followers, and shared a post about it online.

It seems the singer spotted it herself, after she also addressed the controversy in an Instagram Story, writing: “LMFAOOO y’all babies smh”.

Billie has always been pretty open. In fact, she recently opened up about what she called her 'favourite subject matter' in an interview.

The pop star was asked what she likes to do to decompress to which she simply said: "Sex."

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Eilish continued: "I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can. That’s literally my favourite topic.

"My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way."

She then made an incredibly x-rated admission about how she likes to masturbate in front of a mirror, adding: “Partly because it’s hot, but it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body, and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had.

“I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful.

"I have learned that looking at myself and watching myself feel pleasure has been an extreme help in loving myself and accepting myself, and feeling empowered and comfortable."
