Billish Eilish excitedly announced her forthcoming third album Hit Me Hard And Soft on Monday.
But the 22-year-old singer’s celebratory moment turned sour when the project’s tracklist was leaked by Rolling Stone.
She didn’t hold back as she used her Instagram Stories to send a clear message to the publication: ‘F*** you guys @rollingstone.’
The Oscar-winning songstress — who has been teasing the new music since last week — added a clown emoji and uploaded another post with a similar note typed in white font against a black background that read, ‘f*** rolling stone.’
The two stories have since been deleted. Billie noted in an earlier Instagram caption that she wanted to give fans the new music ‘all at once.’

Last Thursday, Billie shared a snapshot of her ‘Hard & Soft’ hip tattoo, which fans now know is her album title.
Eilish first unveiled the ink while attending the Variety Hitmakers Brunch in Los Angeles on December 2.
