Billie Eilish and FINNEAS Face Hot Ones Challenge
The musical duo and siblings Billie Eilish and FINNEAS will be on Hot Ones Versus on July 9, taking on the spicy chicken wings challenge.
This isn’t the first time Eilish will tackle the spicy wings challenge. Her previous appearance garnered 51 million views since then and earned a spot in the Hot One‘s Hall of Fame.
After five years, the “LUNCH” singer returns with FINNEAS to the spin-off of Hot Ones, Hot Ones Verses. Guests on the program ask each other personal questions; participants can either answer the question or take a bite of a spicy wing. Whoever eats fewer wings takes home the Hot Ones Winner trophy. The series first premiered in April of this year with Zack Fox and Thundercat.
However, it’s the first time her brother, who doubles as her collaborator in all of her music, will complete the spicy challenge as he faces off with Eilish.
First We Feast released a sneak peek of their interview, showing the siblings breaking a sweat from the heat of the wings while competing head-to-head for the trophy.

It can be assumed that the pair are promoting Eilish’s latest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, which was released on May 17, and her upcoming world tour kicking off in September.
The day the album dropped FINNEAS took to his Instagram to share a clip of them making “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” and a message about the making of the album.
He explained, “This album is my favorite thing I’ve ever been a part of making and there were so many times during the making of it that I thought we’d never finish it or had no idea what we were doing I lost count- just goes to show- when you’re in it, you might just have to try to keep swimming- you can only really see the ocean once you’re on the shore.”
In an interview with Zane Lowe, the “CHIHIRO” singer also shared how the project aligned with who she is. She revealed, “I think this is like the most me thing that I’ve ever made. And I think that it’s so purely me and not any sort of character.”
