A TikTok clip which allegedly shows singer Billie Eilish imitating what sounds like a Cantonese accent and using a racist slur "c***k" for Chinese people has been spreading like wildfire on social media since it surfaced last week.

Chinese fans of the 19-year-old Grammy winner are especially upset, with China's nationalistic tabloid Global Times reporting on Monday (June 21) that netizens on Weibo in China have called for a boycott of Eilish.
