Jakob also has his own band, Ultra Q.

Bowie sleeping with the 14 year old groupie has long been proven or are we doing the we only believe the victim if she mentions someone we don’t like was the one?
and comparing a 22 year old being with a 16 year old and a 26 year old with a 14 year old is the same thing

So I guess you boycott every classic rock artist and group from the 70’s then because literally every band from The Rolling Stones to The Who to Led Zeppelin and anyone else you could name considered teenage groupies to be a rock star perk.

Where have I said boycott? Just said it’s a weird optic to chose someone who slept with a underage groupie when his oldest had a similar situation happen hell I didn’t even call Bowie a pedo

It doesn't matter if a 16 year old is mature, they're still legally a child and a 22 year old shouldn't be involved with someone that young

Listened a couple more times and I feel fairly confident about who is singing what now. Voices are so similar, but Jacob’s pronunciations are a little different.

First refrain and chorus - Billie Verse 1 and second chorus - Jacob Verse 2, refrain, third chorus - Billie Verse 3, fourth chorus - Jacob Bridge - both? Last chorus and outro - Billie

In Germany it’s legally allowed to have sex with someone of the age 14 and older if it’s consensual.
