G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha have collaborated multiple times in the past, but it seems their working relationship has since greatly soured.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Thursday (June 13), the pop star shared a screenshot of a group chat with her team – showing that G went through her people to ask if she’d be interested in shooting social content revisiting their 2015 collaboration “Me, Myself & I.” The answer was a resounding no.
“@g_eazy you have my number. Why don’t you text me and ask me yourself you stuck up ungrateful loser,” she wrote with the screenshot. “You’re lucky people are liking you again. Cause I could go in on all the shitty things you’ve done and how you treated me after giving you your only real hit. Btw the answer is no. Hope you good. [peace sign emoji]”
Bebe later deleted the Story, but explained more in a post to X.
“Someone from my team had me take down my Instagram story,” she said. “I decided to remove it because it felt very negative and toxic. Sometimes trauma can lead us to react that way, and that period of my life was traumatizing. I am writing this because I regret taking it down and I want to say that I still stand by what I said.”

Before things soured between G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha, the latter spoke to HipHopDX about their chemistry in a 2017 interview and explained and why she enjoyed working with the Bay Area MC.
“It’s interesting, we’re like the same person,” she said. “We’re both 27. We both went to school for music management. We love music. I think we’re just kind of on the same wavelength when it comes to just wanting to be iconic.”
She added: “Working with him is just such an incredible energy and chemistry. I think we have an amazing chemistry when it comes to music.”
G-Eazy has been quiet on the music side for the last few years, but slowly began his return to the game in 2024. In an interview with Wild Ride with Steve-O last month, the rapper revealed that it was his decision to remove himself from the spotlight temporarily, following years of hard work and his mother’s death in 2021.
“So I was burning out, really,” he said at the 1:01:00 mark. “Like, when you go that hard for that long? And we had a great run. It was three albums in a row that went platinum, you know?”
He continued: “It’s like overwhelming, overstimulated. And then, my mom passing and all that? I needed to reset from the business side of it. I changed management, I moved to New York … I had to grieve.”
