Bebe Rexha Slams G-Eazy After ‘Me, Myself & I’ Goes Viral: ‘Ungrateful Loser’

Bebe Rexha Slams G-Eazy After ‘Me, Myself & I’ Goes Viral: ‘Ungrateful Loser’

Bebe Rexha is opening up about her experience with G-Eazy following the release of their collab, “Me, Myself & I,” calling the rapper an “ungrateful loser” in a new post Thursday.

The pop star shared a screengrab from her team’s group chat on Instagram, where she’s asked if she’d be interested in shooting content with G-Eazy after their 2015 radio hit went viral online in the past few weeks. In her Instagram Story, Rexha slammed the Freak Show rapper, accusing him of mistreating her, and declining the offer.


“You have my number. Why don’t you text me and ask me yourself you stuck up ungrateful loser,” she wrote in the now-deleted post. “You’re lucky people are liking you again. Cause I could go in on all the sh*tty things you’ve done and how you treated me after giving you your only real hit.”

After deleting the Instagram Story, Rexha doubled down on her statement, writing that she had originally believed the post was “very negative and toxic.”

“Sometimes trauma can lead us to react that way, and that period of my life was traumatizing,” she wrote. “I am writing this because I regret taking it down and I want to say that I still stand by what I said.”

“Me, Myself & I,” the song Rexha wrote and is featured on G-Eazy’s When It’s Dark Out, has been surging in streams over the past few weeks after unexpectedly going viral on TikTok. It stands out as G-Eazy’s most-streamed song to date on Spotify with over 1.2 billion streams. The only other song of his to come close to that number is “Him & I” with ex-girlfriend Halsey, which is just shy of 1 billion listens.

Rexha alluded to the streaming data, retweeting a fan account’s post with the caption, “Bebe Rexha and Halsey talking about how they carried G-Eazy’s career,” alongside a photo of the two women speaking to each other during an awards show.

Reps for Rexha and G-Eazy did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s requests for comment.

Back in 2018, Rexha joined Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Liveand shared that she was a “little shocked” when G-Eazy invited Britney Spears to perform her chorus during an awards show.

“I thought that he would let me know and I was upset by it, but then I got to meet Britney and take pictures with her, so that made everything way better, and I loved it,” she said at the time. “She’s my idol, you know what I mean?

“I showed up at the awards and imagine you’re part of a song, and then I was just there and in the audience and they didn’t even let me know, so all I hear is, ‘Woo, it’s just me.’ And it’s onstage, and I wish I would have known out of respect from G,” she added.

In a video several weeks ago, Rexha shared how she originally wrote the song as a clubbier track titled “I Don’t Need Anything” about her love for music.

The story of “Me Myself And I” @G-Eazy

“I played it for someone in the music industry because I wanted it to be my single. They were like, ‘Nah.’ At the time, I was listening to this guy called G-Eazy, so I was trying to get in with him any way I could,” Rexha said, explaining how the two connected via a manager and a friend. “That’s how ‘Me, Myself & I’ came to life.”

The singer explained how “it’s kinda funny” hearing the song years after she dropped it with the rapper. She also performs her solo version of the song — and dancier, rapless version — during live shows.

The new comments from Rexha come days before G-Eazy is set to release his upcoming album, Freak Show. He led the LP with singles “Anxiety” and “Femme Fatale” with Coi Leray and Kaliii earlier this year. Meanwhile, Rexha released the single “Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)” last month.

This story was updated at 7:45 p.m. ET to include Rexha’s new post on X after deleting her Instagram Story.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

Sabrina Carpenter Is Viscously Clever and Done With Love Triangles on ‘Short N’ Sweet’: 5 Takeaways

Sabrina Carpenter Is Viscously Clever and Done With Love Triangles on ‘Short N’ Sweet’: 5 Takeaways

After Sabrina Carpenter’s summer takeover with “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” the anticipation for Short n’ Sweet was at an all-time high. On her sixth album, the pop singer keeps the surprises coming as she delivers a masterclass in clever songwriting and hops between R&B and folk-pop with ease. Carpenter writes about the frustration of modern-day romance, all the while cementing herself as a pop classic. Here’s everything we gathered from the new project.

Please Please Please Don’t Underestimate Her Humor

Carpenter gave us a glimpse of her humor on singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” — she’s working late because she’s a singer; ceiling fans are a pretty great invention! But no one could have guessed how downright hilarious she is on Short n’ Sweet, delivering sugary quips like “The Lord forgot my gay awakenin’” (“Slim Pickins”) and “How’s the weather in your mother’s basement?” (“Needless to Say”). She’s also adorably nerdy, fretting about grammar (“This boy doesn’t even know/The difference between ‘there,’ ‘their’ and ‘they are!’”) and getting Shakespearian (“Where art thou? Why not uponeth me?”). On “Juno,” she even takes a subject as serious as pregnancy and twists it into a charming pop culture reference for the ages: “If you love me right, then who knows?/I might let you make me Juno.” It’s official: Do not underestimate Ms. Carpenter’s pen. — A.M.

RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Endorses Trump

RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Endorses Trump

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suspended his 2024 presidential campaign, and according to a court filing in Pennsylvania on Friday will throw his weight behind former President Donald Trump.

Multiple news outlets reported on Wednesday that independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. was planning to drop out of the race and endorse Trump. He clarified at an event in Arizona on Friday that he is not terminating his campaign, only suspending it, and that his name will remain on the ballot in non-battleground states. He said that if enough people still vote for him and Trump and Kamala Harris tie in the Electoral College, he could still wind up in the White House.

The Chicks’ ‘Not Ready to Make Nice’ Has Somehow Become a MAGA Anthem on TikTok

One little funny/bizarre/horrifying thing about the internet is the way it offers up everything and, in doing so, makes it possible to strip anything of its history. But to paraphrase Kamala Harris, you didn’t just fall out of the coconut tree. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you” — wise words worth heeding, especially for all the Trump voters and conservatives making TikToks with the Chicks’ “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

Over the past month or so, “Not Ready to Make Nice” has become an unexpected MAGA anthem of sorts, meant to express a certain rage at liberals supposedly telling conservatives what to do all the time (the past few Supreme Court terms notwithstanding, apparently). Young women especially have taken the song as a way to push back against the possibility of Harris becoming the first female president.
