What does this mean? ‘Give your money away, shorties’

She proceeded to deliver a blunt call to action directly to the heavy hitters in the room. “I’d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and give it to some people that need it,” Eilish told the crowd. “Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you are a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?”

“No hate, but give your money away, shorties,” she added.

A friend is telling me it is gentle fun. I don’t think so but I do not know. I am too old to be plugged into this lingo.

She was being dismissive. I think.

(Possibly hip-hop culture, I read on Google)

I think so too. My younger (by about 10 years) friend is trying to suggest it is gentle ribbing which suggests a close relationship (not how she put it but that’s the gist). I’m not buying it.

I agree with you. I think she was calling him out in the way that she talks.

It could be a silly joke between friends but it can also be an insulting remark without being very rude. All in the context.

I suspect the word she used was the hip-hop “shawties”.

This could explain it.

In rap music I assumed it meant girls or ladies. Rappers calling their girlfriends shorty or the term “he shawty, ready to party?”

Maybe she was trying to dis them by calling them a bunch of ladies.

Both Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, per Google, are 5’7".

I don’t think there’s any mystery here.
