In an absolutely hilarious response to woke singer Billie Eilish’s incoherent but nevertheless infuriating “no one is illegal on stolen land” claim during the Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 1, a British journalist showed up at her gated mansion in California and demanded to be let into the compound because no human is illegal and it sits on stolen land.
For reference, the 24-year-old singer said, during the Grammys event and while wearing a pin that said “ICE OUT”, “No one is illegal on stolen land,” which makes no sense, because it would be impossible for land to be “stolen” if it is impossible to be “illegal” upon it, or an invader.
In any case, the singer continued her ridiculous little speech by saying, “I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter, and the people matter.” She then added, to round off the dumb speech with some vulgarity, “And f*** ICE, that’s all I’m gonna say, sorry.”
As could be predicted, the singer immediately faced criticism from those who pointed out that her multi-million dollar house in Los Angeles should, by her own logic, be given back to the Native Americans to atone for it sitting on that which she calls “stolen land.” For example, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said, “Any White person who does a public ‘stolen land’ acknowledgment should immediately give his or her land to Native Americans. Otherwise, they don’t mean it. Also, I’m pretty sure they don’t mean it.”
But the funniest response to her speech and comments came from GB News reporter Ben Leo. He decided to visit Eilish’s multimillion-dollar horse ranch the next day, Monday, February 2, to see if she “practices what she preaches”, or if she was just another hypocrite. Predictably, the stunt showed her to be a hypocrite.
Licking off the hilarious segment for the British news channel, Leo said, “Billie reckons there’s no such thing as an illegal human because we’re all on stolen land.” He added, “So, we’re here in Billie’s quite posh neighborhood in Los Angeles. Let’s go see if she practices what she preaches.”
Continuing, he joked that, if she were to follow the calls to action she had made, she would let him walz on in and do as he pleases. He said, “Hopefully, if she sticks by her merits, she’ll have no problem with me waltzing in, maybe making a cup of coffee or a tea.” Predictably, that’s not what happened.

Instead, when Leo showed up, he was met by a property surrounded not by signs welcoming in all the wretched of the earth, but rather a huge hedge that served as a fence, a collection of security cameras to monitor it, and a closed gate. Leo commented on how “ironic” it is that the “no human is illegal” singer had used a “massive wall” to protect her own property.
He then said, trying to get in the gate, “Let us in, please Billie. We are here because this is stolen land, Billie, and we think we should be given access to your quite lovely $3 million mansion.” No one responded, and he was not let in to make tea despite her stance on no human being illegal.
Watch it here:
NEW: I went to Billie Eilish’s $3m LA pad to see if she practices what she preaches.
STOLEN LAND? EVERYONE’S WELCOME?
Not at Billie’s high-security home. Huge walls, security fencing, cameras and MASSIVE front gate.

The Tongva tribe, which used to possess the land on which her mansion sits, told Fox News Digital, “We appreciate the opportunity to provide clarity regarding the recent comments made by Billie Eilish.” They added, “As the First People of the greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand that her home is situated in our ancestral land. Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property. We do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country.”
