In her revelatory 2021 documentary, “The World’s a Little Blurry,” the Oscar-winning star gave fans a peek into her tumultuous relationship with fellow musician Brandon Quention Adams, known by his stage name 7:AMP. While Eilish and the rapper, whom she refers to as “Q” throughout the documentary, had been friends for some time, it was only through the documentary that fans learned the two had been romantically involved at one point.
Along with documenting the superstar’s rise to stardom, the Apple+ series charted the highs and lows of Eilish and Adams’s relationship, all the way through its dissolution. Based on Adams’s appearance in the series, it’s speculated the two dated in late 2018, when Eilish was 16 and the rapper was 22. Eilish even appeared on the cover art of Adams’s album “Bleaupro,” which was released in February 2019.
The two are seen exchanging “I love yous” at the beginning of the documentary. Adams was even there during Eilish’s 17th birthday celebrations. Toward the end of the documentary, however, the cracks in their relationship were revealed, as the “My Future” singer shared some insight into why it fell apart while backstage at her June 2019 concert in NYC.
“I just wasn’t happy. I didn’t want the same things he wanted, and I don’t think that’s fair for him,” she explained. “I don’t think you should be in a relationship super excited about things that the other person couldn’t care less about. I don’t think that’s fair to you. I don’t think that’s fair to him. There was just a lack of effort. I was literally like, ‘Dude, you don’t have enough love to love yourself, so you can’t love me, dude. And you don’t. You think you do.'”
“I do love him, though, which made it harder. I’m not over him; I didn’t find someone else,” she added. “I didn’t stop having love for him. I just spent time away from him for a little bit, and I was like, ‘Wow! I’m missing so much because I’m worried about you all the time, and I don’t want what you want, and you don’t want what I want.’ I don’t want to fix him. I can’t fix him. I tried.”
Right after her confession, Eilish took the stage for an emotional performance of her ballad “I Love You,” which fans speculate could be about Adams.
Adams seemingly responded to criticism from fans about his treatment of Elish in March 2021. “People fail to realize I’ve been dealing with my brother’s death. Especially around that time when it was fresh,” the artist wrote in a series of Instagram Story posts (via MailOnline). “Sometimes you have to be alone to cope. Sometimes people disagree and don’t want the same things as one another. It’s on you to understand there’s several points of view to a situation. Anyone who knows me knows where my heart is. I stay with a smile on my face even when I’m hurting. We push through the pain. [No love is ever lost.] But I refuse to be bashed. There’s always two sides to a situation.”
Eilish seemingly responded to his post, thanking her fans for protecting her but asking them to “be nice.”
