Everyone's scared of something, whether it be heights or spiders. But some fears are a little more niche than others.
Celebrity phobias definitely fall into that category. Take the woman with a Michael Jackson phobia as an example of that.
But it turns out that fearing a famous face isn't reserved for those of us living outside of Hollywood.

Even celebrities like Billie Eilish get a bit jittery around household names.
The person she's afraid of? None other than Eminem.
And he had the perfect reaction to hearing about this.
The Birds of a Feather singer first made the revelation during an interview with Noisey a few years back.

She said: "I was scared of Eminem. My whole life. Always. I, dude, terrified. That dude freaked the f**k out of me. Oh my God."
Whilst nobody would want to end up on the wrong side of the rapper, a phobia might be taking things a little far.
Once word of this fear got to Eminem, he decided to respond in the only way he knew how - by inserting his response into a song.
In 'Alfred's Theme', he rapped: "Homicidal visions when I’m spitting like this / But really I’m just fulfilling my wish of killing rhymes which is really childish / And silly, but I’m really like this, I’m giving nightmares to Billie Eilish."

It's not clear whether or not these lyrics helped soothe Eilish's fears.
Fans online had a lot to say about the whole situation, with many finding it hilarious.
There were some people who even confessed that Eilish scared them more than Eminem.
One YouTube user said: "All her music videos are creepy as hell and Eminem's the one giving her nightmares??!!!"

To be fair, we can't help being scared of certain things.
For example, there's people who are terrified of the ocean. Thalassophobia affects approximately nine percent of all adults, and can severely impact some people's quality of life.
There's also chromophobia, which is the fear of colours.
One man opened up on TikTok about his experiences with the fear, which has forced him to live in a bedroom completely deprived of colour.
His colour-lacking room features plain white bedding, white furniture and even black-and-white polaroid photos stuck up on the wall. His designer black water bottle sits on his desk alongside a white AirPods case, a black charging stand and various black and white accessories.

Here's hoping that Eilish can quash her fears of Slim Shady. Maybe a collab would be good motivation?
