Billie Eilish‘s ex Brandon ‘Q’ Adams broke his silence about their breakup, after their well-hidden romance was revealed in her new documentary.
Since AppleTV’s The World’s a Little Blurry aired last week, the 24-year-old songwriter, who goes by 7:AMP, has received criticism over his dismissive behavior toward the Bad Guy singer, 19, during their turbulent relationship.
‘There’s always 2 sides to a situation,’ the star, who is five years older than the five-time Grammy winner, wrote on his Instagram Story of their split.

‘People fail to realize I’ve been dealing with my brother’s death. Especially around that time when it was fresh,’ the up-and-coming rapper explained.
The performer continued: ‘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,’ he concluded.

Last week, the star’s fans got an unvarnished look into her personal life and the creative process behind her hit debut studio album in the new Apple TV+ documentary, which dropped on Friday.
The doc follows her from the latter part of the recording for — When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? — to the 2020 Grammys, where she took home five trophies out of six nominations at the tender age of 18.
The teen, who has largely kept her dating life private, opens up about her relationship with 7:AMP, whom she affectionately calls ‘Q.’

In the beginning of the doc, she can be heard telling Q that she loves him over the phone, but as it gets close to the end Eilish breaks it off with him.
As more is revealed, Eilish can be seen having a difficult time getting ahold of Q while she’s out on the road touring, and again when she returns home to Los Angeles, where he also resides.
She would go on to break it off with him during a conversation before she hit the stage for a gig at Pier 17 in New York City.
‘I just wasn’t happy. I didn’t want the same things he wanted and I don’t think that’s fair for him,’ the Everything I Wanted singer said.
‘I don’t think you should be in a relationship super excited about things that the other person couldn’t care less about.’

Trying to be honest with herself, Eilish elaborated about how she didn’t think the state of their romance was ‘fair’ for either one of them.
‘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. [laughs] You think you do.’
With some time to reflect on the demise of the relationship, she admitted she still loved Q.
‘I’m not over him, I didn’t find someone else. I didn’t stop having love for him,’ she said.
‘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.’

There’s a scene in the doc where Eilish forgets lyrics to one of her songs during a show at Coachella and calls Q, seemingly for some support. Before hanging up, she throws the phone on the floor in frustration as reported by People.
Q would go on to break his hand after hitting a wall, and Eilish reveals to a friend: ‘I’m trying to get him to go to therapy. He’s so self-destructive.’
In another scene, she disclosed that Q didn’t get her anything for Valentine’s Day, when asked about how they celebrated the lover’s holiday.
Eilish had a quick rise to fame after her breakout song, Ocean Eyes, in 2015, when she was just 13-years-old.
Four years later, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and became one of the best-selling albums of 2019.
