Could Rihanna’s wish to work work work with Billie Eilish soon become reality?

After RiRi expressed her desire to collaborate with the “Birds of a Feather” singer, her brother Finneas revealed he’s more than ready to make it happen.

“I’m so on board,” he said during the June 9 episode of Score: The Podcast. “Billie and I couldn’t be bigger Rihanna fans.”

In fact, the music producer shared that he’s already thought about how such a scenario might come together.

“If Rihanna says, ‘Hey, come on over,’ we’ll be there,” he declared. “On our end, if we make something and we think, ‘Wow, we’d love to hear what Rihanna would do with this,’ we’ll try our best to get it to her, whatever it is.”

However, Finneas, 27, insisted he and Billie, 23, would only pursue such a project if they were confident they had strong material to work with.

“When there’s somebody you respect that much, you have an extra feeling of carefulness, like, ‘I really respect this person’s time and opinion,’” he continued, adding that a potential collab “would be so cool.”

Last year, Rihanna—who is expecting her third baby with A$AP Rocky—admitted she’s been dreaming of working on music with the two-time Oscar winner.

“If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish,” the 37-year-old told Access Hollywood in October. “She’s so good.”

Billie later confessed that when she heard about the shoutout, she was in such disbelief that she initially “thought it was A.I.”

“She's literally my idol,” she gushed in an interview with Complex in December. “She’s the greatest of all time. She's my complete dream collab. I don't even answer that question when people are like, ‘Who would you like to collab with?’ But I always think Rihanna. I'm not going to say that, though!”
