"I needed to finally give myself a break" — G-Eazy answers one of the top Googled questions regarding his music career

G-Eazy managed to build a successful career for himself over the years. However, the artist's fans have been frequently trying to know why he is not releasing a big project for a long time. His last album, These Things Happen Too, was released in 2021 and reached the 19th spot on the US Billboard 200.

The Oakland, California native recently appeared for an interview on the podcast, Steve-O's Wild Ride! on May 30, 2024, revealing the reasons behind his absence.

G-Eazy recalled the best time of his career, saying that he delivered three albums that were certified platinum. He then disclosed that his mother suddenly passed away in 2021 and the COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot of things due to which he decided to start from scratch. He added:

"I needed to finally give myself a break and take some pressure off of the cycle of releasing music. And that comes at a risk."

He further stated that he read a few comments where one of them mentioned that he "fell off". He referred to the same by saying:

"I should not have done this, don't ever Google yourself. One of the top suggested [questions] was 'Is G-Eazy' still making music?' I was just like, 'F*ck y'all! F*ck y'all!'"
