Gerald Earl Gillum, known professionally as G-Eazy, is an American rapper who dated Lana Del Rey for a few months in 2017.
Work with Lana Del Rey[]
In 2017, Del Rey and Gillum worked together on two songs for G-Eazy's album The Beautiful & Damned: "Won Me Over" and "Pray for Me". The former was scrapped altogether and the latter was reworked to remove Del Rey's background vocals, likely due to their split. Neither song has leaked in full, though snippets from both have surfaced.

At a listening party on the release day of her fifth studio album Lust for Life, Del Rey signaled that the song "In My Feelings" was written about G-Eazy, saying "I could name names, but I won't", then formed the letter "G" with her hands while performing the song.[1] The song "White Mustang" was also reportedly written about the rapper.
Del Rey has been name-dropped in two of G-Eazy's songs. In 2017, the rapper released three standalone singles, one of which is titled "Nothing Wrong". G-Eazy raps on the track:
Lana think I'm crazy, and I maybe am
Killing hella brain cells in my cranium
The realest who did it and got away with it
They pouring drugs on titties and now and everybody sniffin'
She acting shocked by it, guess we live a little different
In the height of the 2020 pandemic, G-Eazy released a "quarantine single" titled "Moana", which featured fellow American rapper Jack Harlow. In it, G-Eazy raps:
I know a Keisha and I know Lana
They try to get me back, but I'm like, "No, nah, nah"
I'm sorry, I don't want no drama, nah
That's a hard no, pass
