Check out the video — the musician boldly addressed the ultra-wealthy folks in the room as she accepted her Music Innovator Award at the New York City ceremony, saying … “I love you all but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me … and if you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?”<\/p>\n

She went on … “No hate, but yeah. Give your money away, shorties.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The “Birds of a Feather” hitmaker called her peers to action after preaching about people needing more empathy and care for others.<\/p>\n

And, she’s not all talk. Stephen Colbert<\/a> announced at the event that she’s donating $11.5 million from her ongoing “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour to support food equity, climate justice, carbon reduction and the fight against the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Billie was honored alongside Hailey Bieber<\/a>, George Lucas<\/a> and Mellody Hobson, Ben Stiller<\/a>, Spike Lee<\/a> and more. The awards celebrate those breaking boundaries in their fields, from music to beauty and beyond.<\/p>\n
